Online sales or gun fairs do not require a background check. This means anyone can buy a gun. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest problems. If these actions are not bad enough, they are usually done illegally. Obama once said, “We’ve created a system in which dangerous people are allowed to play by a different set of rules.” Obama’s statement is accurate, we are allowing people who should not have a gun, to have a gun. Our accessibility to guns needs to change and we need to require background checks in order to be successful. The amount of deaths caused by guns is absurd compared to other countries. Congress needs to improve gun legislation. A mass shooting is defined as, four or more people killed or injured by gunfire. “355 mass shootings have occurred in 2016 alone.” (Ingraham). 365 days a year, how do people not see this as a problem? We, as concerned citizens, need to demand our politicians pass common sense gun legislation that protects us
