Jasmine Figueroa on the Public Outcry for Gun Control

Yes, Ii do think that it needs to be better gun control law. Innocent people are losing their lives over something that is not worth it. I also believe that it is not fair for random people to be carrying guns and using it for the wrong purpose. What I can try to do to help this issue is to raise awareness by setting up meetings at the U.N., schools and talk to all about having better gun control laws.
