The second Amendment of the Constitution gives Americans the right to keep and form a militia and “to keep and bear arms.” In a perfect world, gun owners would be trained on how to safely operate their weapon. They would also properly keep their weapon stored and secured. Gun owners would be subject to stricter gun control laws keeping weapons out of unstable people. However, the world we live in is far from perfect.
These variables have contributed to the 12 most horrific mass shootings in the US.
