Colorado Shooting at LQBTQ Club Highlights Serious Problems within America, Again
Unfortunately these tragedies will continue to occur due to inaction
Another tragedy occurred late night November 19th when a gunman entered Club Q and began shooting,, leaving 5 dead and several injured. Before police arrived, the gunman was detained by 2 brave clubgoers. The suspect shown in the photo above is facing multiple murder charges including counts of bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury. How could of this happened?
Before I start, Anderson Lee Aldrich is being accused of the shooting. I want to make that clear before I speculate how a 22 year old could be accused of such a heinous crime.
Accessibility to Firearms
Gun control in America is impossible to agree on. While common sentiment is that background checks need to be better, that idea falls apart at the legislative level. Organizations such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), Gun Owners of America and Second Amendment Foundation contribute millions to thwarting bills for stricter regulations. The barrier to obtaining a firearm is insanely low in certain parts of America. Any underaged adult with enough cash could obtain a firearm within hours.
