Through this, Gross explained that he believed that change could be made and that gun violence in America could decrease by half.

It does so by showing primary statistics and victims, and ultimately declaring that this must stop. When expressing views to others, it is important to have facts to support the opinions. Gross presents researched statistics in his video that show how guns are a problem in America. It is reported that on average about ninety Americans are killed by a gunshot and nine children in America are unintentionally shot every day. Additionally, approximately nine hundred children and adolescents commit suicide each year, and nearly all of these... middle of paper... are American citizens.
