Unchanging Cycle in America

As many cycles exist in American history, I believe one of the most distinct cycle is the one surrounding gun violence.
As you can see in this article, America owns the most guns with the statistic of 88 guns owned per 100 people. America is also responsible for the most gun related deaths out of any other country. On the other hand, japan has 0.6 guns owned per 100 people which makes it the country with the least owned guns and the fewest gun related homicides. I read both Japanese and American news online and the number of times I see gun related news is very significant. When I was CNN.com a few minutes ago I read an article about an another school shooting in Seattle Pacific University. As Iwas scrolling   down to read more, I looked at the side of the webpage where there are the related news articles. As I read these articles I realized how ridiculous so many of their titles sounded. The first news article was about a school in Washington buying bulletproof whiteboards. and the article right below it was about a survey in this one school where teachers answered they don't want to carry guns so they want armed guards in their school. Then about six articles continued after that all related to different school shootings. As I have read some of these articles, I realized a single trait throughout all of them. All of these articles contained comments from parents, or the people related to the killed victims. The comments off course, started off with them expressing their deep sadness for losing the people close to them. The interesting thing is that all of these comments then addressed a similar topic, which was about the government should do something with gun control.
Every time there is a gun related incident, the victims family and people who are close to them always express their feelings that the government should do something with gun control. The government always replies with a vacant answer, saying that they are working on it. I believe this is the unending cycle that is existing in America right now, gun related incidents happening and the victims telling the government to take action and the government replying to them with an empty answer.
