The Parkland, Florida school shooting in 2018, which resulted in 17 fatalities, reignited the debate on gun control in the United States. The incident sparked protests and calls for stricter gun laws, highlighting America's long-standing struggle with gun violence. While the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the right to bear arms, the issue remains highly polarizing, with proponents of gun rights citing the need for self-defense and opponents emphasizing the importance of public safety. Efforts to address gun control face strong opposition from pro-gun groups, leading to limited progress in implementing comprehensive gun control measures. The Parkland shooting brought renewed attention to the need for a balanced approach that addresses both individual rights and the safety of communities.
