Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
What could have
prevented Navy Yard carnage?
There was another
shooting rampage in the capital of the U.S., where people are legally allowed
to purchase and own almost any type of firearms such as pistols, rifles, shotguns
and even military grade assault rifles, not to mention cartons of ammunition
that can be used for any purpose.
Accordingly, the
police have to be armed to match or overpower such privately held weapons, and security
measures for buildings and facilities need be tightened to prevent anyone from
bringing in weapons. Sounds like an endless battle, doesn’t it? And it’s very
costly, too.
However, no matter
how tight the security measures are, once an ill-minded such guns(s) owner has
decided to kill or harm others with his or her weapon, it seems extremely
challenging to prevent a shooting incident from occurring.
Enjoy reading and
learning the challenges to balance between privacy and security in a country
where people can posses and use firearms.
