Assignment:

The U.S. is ranked #1 in the world to experience the highest percentage of mass shootings each year. Various states such as Texas contribute to the large number because of the relaxed laws that are present. The right to bear arms is a serious matter however it should be taken with much precaution. Imagine that you all serve in the Texas Legislature and you must create a new bill that surrounds gun laws.
