Sunday, June 13, 2016. It's one of those days we wish could go back in time and change because, on that day, the nation lost 49 innocent people. As we record this date in the nation's history books, we must understand what this mass shooting taught us. Sure, it was done by a crazy person, but what does this event tell us about politics, security and society?
If you are blaming politics for this, then don't worry because the presidential election is this year and you can vote for what you feel is right. As for this mass shooting, there are some policies that could've made a difference in this event. One of these policies is the open carry gun policy that has been passed in Texas but not in Florida. Could an open carry policy helped stop the gunman from killing more people, or could've made it worse? Are there some policies that should have been passed in Orlando that could've helped these innocent people survive?
Unfortunately, the shooting happened in a night club for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community in the downtown of Orlando. It's been about a year since the LGBT community has celebrated their rights of same-sex marriage that were passed by the supreme court. This shooting has targeted the LGBT community, but whether you support the LGBT community or not, you agree that no one deserves to die for their gender and for something they believe in. But there are some people who have certain beliefs and we have to keep in mind that there will be a group of people who will not support the community.
After all, this mass shooting reminds us that no one deserves to die, regardless of sex, gender, race and ethnicity, and we should always love each other. Always spread the love around.
