Colorado Shooting
Last Friday a man opened fire in a theater in Aurora,
Colorado which killed 12 people and some are in critical condition and more
than 50 people were injured. It was an intentional act as the shooter threw gas
canister in a theater where midnight show of “The Dark Knight Rises” was in
being played. Following this several people were terrified while watching the
movie in different theaters because of weird behavior of some audiences. It has
disturbed a lot of people’s mind. The police arrested a suspect ‘James Homes’
but that is not enough because the government has to make some quick and
effective reforms in arms permit laws to prevent similar tragedy in future and
also to protect its people. This incident has impacted a lot of people’s life,
those who lost their loved ones and those who saw witnessed this and also those
who heard this news. To help victims and their families, funds are being raised
which I believe is correct however the mental impact on victim’s families could
never be compensated. It has triggered a feeling of insecurity nationally which
increased arms sales immediately after this tragedy. This clearly states what
is going through people’s mind. There can be lot more similar killing because
some might suspect the other person and starting shooting and then others would
be panicked and they too would start shooting, this way everybody would be
killing each other. Therefore the government should serious take some immediate
measures to prevent future killings. The government should foresee things and
act accordingly to keep its people safe from all forms of threats in the
society.
