Why is Gun Violence Still a Crisis in the US?

Another school shooting has occurred in Nashville, Tennessee, taking the lives of three children and three adults. The shooting has once again prompted grief and outrage, but why is the United States the only country in the world that can't seem to take action against the gun crisis? Despite the majority of Americans supporting more gun safety rules, politicians continue to ignore their voices. To add insult to injury, one of the leading makers of the AR-15 killing machine, Marty Daniel, is still not held accountable for the blood on his hands. In comparison, the Sackler family, whose company pushed Oxycontin, causing addiction across the country, faced consequences. The US needs to realize that gun violence is the leading cause of childhood mortality, and it's time for this crisis to end. While some suggest hiring more campus police officers and monitoring student communications, it is time for actual gun safety rules to be put in place. The US needs to take action to prevent another needless loss of life.
