GUN OWNERSHIP IN THE U.S. AND ASPECTS TO PREVENT MASSACRES

In the United States, the gun culture is deeply rooted, and young people become familiar with their use from an early age.some of them suffer from adaptation problems and erratic behavior, which leads them to acquire weapons legally to commit absurd crimes.the regulation of gun purchases is complex because there are economic interests at stake that are above ethics and morality.there has not been much progress in terms of gun control reforms, despite the fact that public opinion supports the implementation of restrictions in large percentages. On the one hand, there are the massacres committed by young people, which are the result of a slow process that develops over time until an insane act is consummated, while on the other hand, there are the perpetrators of mass shootings, who seek increasingly easier targets in places where large crowds gather, such as supermarkets, schools or stadiums, whose logistics make it difficult to protect individuals.
