Introduction

Gun violence is a major concern in America, with an increasing number of deaths from gun-related injuries. A recent report shows a significant rise in gun murders. However, there are differing views on how to address this issue and implement gun control measures. Gun violence is a concerning part of American lives. We see it all the time, whether it be on the media or, God forbid, in person. A recent report by the Pew Research Center found that over 48,000 people died from gun-related injuries in 2021, a 23% increase from 2018. Gun murders specifically raised 45% between 2019 and 2021. Gun violence is inarguably on the rise, but the solution to it seems a controversy. Today I spoke to three people with differing views on how America should address gun violence and gun control in order to find a median between their viewpoints.
