An American seventeen years old boy was mistakenly shot by a policeman in the USA and died. When the policeman visited the boy's house, the boy had a Wii remote control in his hand. The policeman mistook it for gun and shot him. It's a tragdy. When the policeman realized his mistake, he broke down crying. The boy had joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and his friends say " He was a good guy".
In 1992, a Japanese foreign student was shot to death by a man in the USA. This tragdy was also caused by mistakes. A Japanese foreign student who was dressed up for Halloween visited the man's house because the time was during Halloween. The man mistook him for a holdup. The man said "freeze", but the Japanese foreign student got close to him with a laugh and said " I came for Halloween party". He was shot.
The accident which happened to a Japanese foreign student caused a alarm for gun society in the USA in Japan.
What do you think about these two accidents and gun society?

I think gun shooting incident sometime came about in the USA. We may need gun control.
Last year I was in Baltimore USA, there was in incident of shooting in kids school, nearly 21 people including 17 children were dead. Recently I have heard the news about shooting in a university in USA.
Unfortunately, we are facing the same situation these days in my country, because of the criminals who are using their illegal weapon in killing the people. May God save us all.

Thank you for your comment.
These GUN SOCIETIES and now paying back for their wrong policy decisions.
No day passes in these societies without any such incidents/accidents.
