We need more gun control nationwide. ]]> 2021-07-07 17:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/oplunkett3/Bookmarks/wish/1640652943 Global, National, local issue oplunkett3 https://padlet.com/oplunkett3/Bookmarks/wish/1640653944 Alpers, P. (n.d.). Global Impact of Gun Violence: Firearms, public health and safety. Gun Law and Policy: Firearms and armed violence, country by country. https://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region.

There are more than 875 million firearms in the world, 75 per cent of them in the hands of civilians. Guns outnumber passenger vehicles by 253 million, or 29 per cent. Each year about eight million new small arms, plus 10 to 15 billion rounds of ammunition are manufactured — enough bullets to shoot every person in the world not once, but twice. The authorised international trade in small arms and ammunition exceeds US$7.1 billion each year.]]> 2021-07-07 17:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/oplunkett3/Bookmarks/wish/1640653944 What communities are impacted?

If not, why do you think nothing has thus far been done? oplunkett3 https://padlet.com/oplunkett3/Bookmarks/wish/1640662128 The Canadian government is making an effort to reduce gun violence in Canada by:

1. Strengthing Canadas gun laws
2. Banning Assault style rifles

4. Securing our Boarder
5. Tackling gun and gang violence
6. Enforcing our laws.
