In the U.K, have banned certain types of guns in order to keep the citizens safe. They are only allow to sell certain types of handguns to the people. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260285531 2018-05-13 23:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260285531 “The number of civilian owned guns around the world is estimated at 650 million, and 270 million of those handgun rifles, shotguns, machine guns, and even improvised craft guns belong to the people of the United States” (AJ+). p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260285864 2018-05-13 23:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260285864 America does not have this gun policy in place and citizens are allowed to purchase any type of gun they please. This a major problem in our country. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260286022 2018-05-13 23:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260286022 The infamous school shooters are usually former or current high school students that are way too young to even have guns in their grasp. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260294327 2018-05-14 00:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260294327 Foreign countries have laws that requires a person to acquire a gun license at a certain age. In one of the sources I read, it talked about the infamous school shooters, and how they got their weapons (Finley). p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260297669 2018-05-14 01:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260297669 The U.S has very weak gun policies that keeps us safe from young shooters, in schools and other places. In Switzerland, they had young adults wait till they were a certain age in order to get their gun license. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260297766 2018-05-14 01:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260297766 Almost all of the countries have some sort of background check, but some don’t. Here in America, there is a background check, but it is a quick glance at your criminal record and nothing more. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260298442 2018-05-14 01:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260298442 America’s background checks are really not that efficient because they take a quick look at your background, and will most likely let you purchase a gun afterwards. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260298897 2018-05-14 01:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260298897 “Canada has gun laws similar to the U.S with its...background check requirements, but it also requires individuals to take a public safety course as well” (KREM2). p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299194 2018-05-14 01:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299194 Canada and Japan are examples of countries that have the background checked before the citizen purchases a gun. It takes a while for the person to get their gun because the employers double check that your record is absolutely clean. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299271 2018-05-14 01:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299271 Sometimes the country might even run a public safety course to make sure that you are trustful with the weapon. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299337 2018-05-14 01:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299337 Overall, gun violence in America and foreign countries differ from each other because foreign countries have more enforced gun policies; for example, banning certain types of guns and having to obtain a gun license at a certain age. p_marin24 https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299450 2018-05-14 01:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/p_marin24/ciftk7wbfcv9/wish/260299450
