Americans take to street to demand a measure to prevent shootingss.

PROVIDED TO THE PYONGYANG TIMES

The day’s gun violence in an amusement quarter left 15 people injured.

Earlier, on September 27, a student fired a gun in a school campus in Indianapolis, Indiana, causing a disturbance.

Such gun violence is never a shocking incident in the American society.

Whenever shootings occurred, the president or government officials unveiled new gun controls in succession, but the US has not yet explored a cure for all the problems.

After deadly shooting occurred in a primary school in Sandy Hook, startling the world, the US argued for forming a gun control team. When the shooting by a 24-year old claimed over 10 lives and injured 59 in a theatre in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado, the President flew to the city and consoled bereaved families, pledging himself to stamp out shooting crimes at once.

However, not a day passes without the sound of gunfire in the country.

The US constitution stipulates that weaponry possession is an inviolable right, so Americans can buy guns in shops if they want.

Statistics show that firearms possessed by the population amount to over 283 million at the moment, and about 4.5 million weapons of all kinds are sold every year in the US.

An American professor deplored the reality of the American society in which shootings have become an epidemic, saying the people are morally degraded as they are infused with the law of the jungle at schools and families from childhood.
