Dan Gross : Why gun violence can't be our new normal


Dan Gross at TED2016
Why gun violence can't be our new normal  (transcript)
Summary
I didn't understand many things about guns because I live in a place where having guns are banned and which is said a stupid country because of that.

Their opinion is that there is no way to protect yourself without having guns.
However, although there is the Brady Bill, over 900 children and teens take their own lives every year.
And then people said that it should be strengthened more. However, the corporate gun lobby has spent a lot of money. This lobby act is not to stop having guns but to block pediatricians from talking to parents about the dangers of guns in the home. 

The speaker tells us that the reason is an advertisement. A lie becomes the truth. It means that a gun can protect families because many tragic accidents are hidden.
In the talk, audiences respected this opinion and the talk was ended with great applause.

However, it's not said that stopping having guns and all tragic accidents will be announced.

I think that people think that they can have guns safely because the Brady Law must be strengthened more and bad and crazy people don't have guns.

And then after the talk, the tragic gun accidents happened again and more people bought guns.
