Murdering and murder are always the fear of people in a country. Large amount of deadly cases exist makes social panics. According to "Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence" by Darrell Y. Hamamoto, many of murdering cases happened all over the world. Some of them are about racialism; some of them are randomly killing; and there are many other reasons. For me, I am not surprisingly shocked by these cases: in a country that gun keeping is legal, murdering seems very easy. Many people believe that normal people should own the gun to protect themselves. However, I disagree with this opinion. According to Center for Disease control and Prevention, more than 15000 people died in 2017 all over the United States in gun related cases, which is the most highest rate in the world. Comparing to those countries that people could not own a gun, America seems much danger. For example, famous NBA player, Dwight Howard, was took a gun with bullets boarding in Dallas Airport on 2014. After checking, he laid his gun to his friend and then boarding. After this case, officers of Dallas Police were interviewed and said: he would not be prosecuted because more than 100 cases found in Dallas Airport. I think we should care more about gun control and other social problems that can be truly improve our social security and reduce the murders.
Question: What is the majority reason of murdering in America?
