America gives us the right to bear arms — but are we protected?

Following events such as the shooting in Uvalde, a media storm focusing on the grief of the people and political repercussions becomes America’s main feature story. Then, even with ensuing debates on gun policies and rights, action rarely occurs. And with a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, any change or reform is unlikely. In the meantime, more than 500 people die every day due to gun violence, and America’s leaders continually reveal their level of concern towards the victims of preventable circumstances.
