Do You think that Gun Violence was more of an epidemic back in 1982 or now?


Today in the United States of America, gun violence is at its all time high. In 2013, 335,306 people died from gun violence throughout this country. Back in the 1980's, society were not as quick to pick up a gun, a knife, pepper spray or any other miscellaneous types  of weapons in self defense. Instead, whenever there was a dispute between individuals, it was solved the "old school" way. People then would  rather solve their situations by fighting with their fists and/or other body parts, using them as a force to be reckoned with.  If the people involved in the dispute didn't want to take a violent route, their problems could be solved in a more safer, appropriate manor;  talking it out. In the past people, used communication and/or sucked up their pride by simply walking away from a situation before it escalated into a superfluous fiasco! Nowadays, in society , it's easier to find a gun than it is a parking spot.  Many people , especially young black men  die everyday from  gun related crimes.
