Case Study: 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. You will have full autonomy to create a bill that will support strict gun laws or a bill that allows loser gun laws. You may use any research that you can find to support your bill. You will create a powerpoint for a visual to help with your presentation.
