Assignment - Perception and Reality in the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting Essay

Description - Thinking Passage: Perception and Reality in the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting:

Dan Baum, in his article "The Price of Gun Control," contends that in our efforts to curb violence in America we are making a mistake by focusing on guns. He states: "It's true that America's rate of violent crime remains higher than in most European countries. But to focus on guns is to dodge a painful truth. America is more violent than other countries because Americans are more violent than other people. . . . by obsessing over inanimate pieces of metal, we avoid looking at what brings us more often than others to commit violent acts." Do you agree that "Americans are more violent than other people"? Should we be focusing on gun control in our efforts to curb violence? Why or why not?
