1981
In today's society, gun violence has become a vey big issue. In just this year alone, there has been more shootings than the amount of days in a year. It has become a constant thing to turn on your television and the main story being talked about in all the channels is another mass shooting. When I came upon this photograph by Duane Powell, the first thought that came to mind was that we need to do something to end gun violence. The child in the picture portrayed the innocent lives that have been loss due to gun violence. A child is so innocent and pure that they should not be growing up with fear of gun violence being a usual thing.The child's facial expression can relate to the parents worry they have not knowing if their child is safe. Future generations should not be living in a world where gun violence occurs often. Life is so precious that it should not be taken away and we need to protect our loved ones from gun violence.
