People in America: approx. 300 million 31% of households reported having a firearm in 2014 22.4% of adults owned guns in 2014 23 million FBI background checks in 2015 372 mass shootings in 2015 80% of guns in mass shootings were obtained legally

8 Concealed Carry Basically get rid of gun free zones
Allow a responsible adult with a gun license and training to have guns Shootings are less likely to occur where other people have guns When faced with resistance most deranged shooters give up

9 Israel PLO (Palestine Liberal Organization)
Kidnapped Israel students and eventually massacred them As a response the Israeli raised security at schools Armed guards or armed teachers Israel has not experienced such an attack ever since

10 conclusion Gun bans have certainly reduced crimes in other places around the world America is not likely to join that list A lot of guns in America I think the concealed carry law might help if only a little

11 Final note on mass shootings
