An American-born man who'd pledged allegiance to ISIS gunned down 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando-the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation's worst terror attack since 911. The sales of assault riffles, protected by the NRA and other organizations, are on the rise and are weapons of choice in these mass shootings. Have we become jaded and this is the norm in our country? Americans have the right to carry weapons but what do you think should be done to prevent these types of atrocities from occurring? by Mrs. Jackson-Vega

I believe that that the FBI should not have cleared his name from the wanted list. I believe that it has to do a lot with the FBI clearing his name. I don't think this is the norm and I think by America working together we can prevent and then eventually stop these tragic massacres.

It should not be taken off or removed. I do believe that some people should be able to purchase assault weapons because some use assault weapons to hunt and kill animals in the forest. . Some people may want the rifle for an accessory, to show off. To warn their daughter's boyfriends about mistreating her. If you're just keeping the guns for showcase, then so be it. But if they shoot hundreds of people, even if they kill 10 or more people, they should be put on a list.]]> 2016-06-14 17:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114636113 Jeremiah 😈👳✨ https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114636458 I think the United States is lacking in empathy and I also think that people in the world should not be allowed to buy militarized guns because multiple or many people can loose their lives in a small amount of time from these deadly weapons.]]> 2016-06-14 17:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114636458 Israel https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114636566 I think that we have become jaded to all of these different problems.
I think if people have a license they should be able to carry a handgun not an assault rifle. They should prevent the sale of different guns who kill many people in just minutes.]]> 2016-06-14 17:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114636566 Gavin https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114636572 I feel sorry for the people that got killed on Saturday at the night gay club. I had a flash back yesterday with my mom and we were talking about it with my aunt and my mom said how did he get into the club because don't you have to get checked before walking in? Also my mom and I was talking about where he pulled out the assault rifle and started shooting people without anyone seeing it.

We barely act on these tragedies which is a very bad thing and they might keep occurring. Also, people should not be sold these weapons because they are the same that are used in the military . These weapons are made to kill many people in a few minutes. They should only be used for military purposes and not just for people to have.]]> 2016-06-14 17:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114636794 Dauthier (ThornSyndicate) https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114911920 I think that some people are really bored and want to do something in their life that will get everyone's attention. They want to go down in history as famous. What could be done about this is that heavy weapons like assault rifles, SMGs, or explosives shouldn't be available for purchase. Something small like a pistol or a magnum could be available, but not something that causes a large number of people to die in a short amount of time.]]> 2016-06-17 13:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114911920 T.J. https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114911924 I think we should stop certain people from carrying assault weapons. for example, people from other countries, people with criminal backgrounds, and any past experiences with guns and shooting. this will lower shooting rates. ]]> 2016-06-17 13:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114911924 Rayne🤕 https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114912338 I believe that everyone should have a background check and take a test so that we can see where the person's head is at before we trust them with a lethal weapon🐱]]> 2016-06-17 13:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114912338 Zy'Koabi https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114912374 Yes. I think we shouldn't give out assault weapons out like we're doing right now. We shouldn't give out weapons to everybody because they got the money for that weapon. Its different if they was buying a pistol because a pistol don't have as many bullets as an assault riffle and a pistol don't have the same fire rate as an assault riffle.]]> 2016-06-17 13:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114912374 Jacobei emailtojmcorey5 https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114912773
I feel like America should ban assault rifles it should not be that easy to kill fifty people and I'm scared that he pledged to Isis because they are in America and you can't sort them out. I feel like the only guns you can use for self defense is a small hand gun and nothing else should be available.

Killing this many people at the same time is definitely not the norm. The world has changed over time. By working together, we should be able to limit this amount of crime and over time we can make this a little safer.]]> 2016-06-17 13:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114912979 Ricardo https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114913095 The U.S. should ban all fully automatic guns from the public. I believe that only law enforcement should have such tools to kill. This isn't Call of Duty or GTA, where you can just pick up any random gun and start killing random people in game. It's a game, it's real life and these adults with the power to do something should start acting like it!. ]]> 2016-06-17 13:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114913095 Josiah   https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114913189 I think that we should ban assault rifles because their is no need to kill people within one mag because their is no need to kill people just because their gay. I think that before people should buy guns they should

have a check on their past life before they can buy a gun.

We have conditioned ourselves to this level of violence on a daily basis all because we want the right to carry guns. We fight for our gun laws then complain when these same guns kill our children. I believe that Americans shouldn't be able to buy guns at all. There is no reason for a regular citizen to have a gun. There are many countries where their citizens aren't allowed to purchase guns and we should do the same here in America. ]]> 2016-06-17 13:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114915234 Cam https://padlet.com/jackson_portia/9av8jo0zh6ee/wish/114915409 What we have to do is to make a law that prevents people from getting guns without having the right paperwork.

When the british came to america they concord native americans with guns. When a powerful speaker makes some changes a gunman takes them down. (MLK, abramham Lincoln, etc. ) It is in this countries natire to use guns. The reason for people to use guns because they are afraid. The man that shot up the club was afraid that he would become like those men he saw kissing. He was afraid of the unknown his own body caused. 💯💯

As a matter of fact they shouldn't sell assault riffles. This is unacceptable that we can have and use these weapons anytime we want to. These weapons shouldnt even be legal.
