Introduction:
      (1) America is a dreaming country where most people want to move to and live. Most people will feel completely free here and be attracted by this country. However, not only your soul here is free, but also weapons here are available. The American forefathers got their land from Indians by using their guns that helped them to kill the enemies and occupy the territories. Both Americans and Indians needed to know how to use guns and they hardly feared to kill people at that special time. This important history has been deeply affecting American people till now. Most of them love and believe guns that can protect themselves and families without policemen because their forefathers used to do like this. In relation to this kind of history and tradition of gun violence, innocent people die due to gun shooting every now and then and casualties have increased day by day. Moreover, government published many gun laws to limit and ban guns, but gun shooting happened again and again. It seems no use for publishing gun laws. According to some research, it’s a result of mental illness that  some people usually want to use guns to shoot others. Some people are under a big depression, manic-depressive, of autism and suicide-committing. There will be one of the main reasons for them to trigger their guns among people. Laws perhaps can control people’s actions, but they’re hard to control people’s minds. Therefore, improving services of mental health  is an important way to reduce gun shooting in America.
(2) Cause
      (P) Most American citizens believe that gun laws can help them to decrease gun shooting and gun violence and they ignore the mental illness that can at most make people use guns in unhealthy way. (E) The “ America’s Gun-Centered Culture Is Responsible for Mass Shootings” was written by Robert Jay Lifton who expressed his viewpoints about mental illness arousing people to use guns to kill. “Indeed, guns are seen as a solution to social problems such as the madness of Virginia Tech shooter” (Lifton, R.J. 2008, p. 1) shows a few details that people have bad emotions leading them to go to extremes. Sometimes the gun laws can control people’s actions and bring punishment on illegal events, but they cannot control people’s minds or be used to find out who has mental illness among us. We cannot figure out who of our classmates will use guns to shoot their classmates when they feel upset or have other reasons. Lifton, the psychiatrist also pointed out that “ there will always be mentally ill people, a few of whom are violent, it is our gun-centered cultural disease that converts mental illness into massacre.” (Lifton, R.J. 2008, p. 2) (A) It is very important that we need to be aware of the mental illness. It is the key point to help us reduce blood-shedding to stop some people from using guns to kill innocent people. The American government always focuses on how to improve the laws to control gun sellers or illegal “black market”, however, this method can just only reduce the numbers of guns among people. That still cannot control those who are going to kill. People need to test their mental health regularly and heal the disease if someone has. According to Lifton’s article, we know that people will do shooting because they are mentally ill. Furthermore, those people who are mentally ill may also suffer from suicidal tendency or mental disorder. That means the mental illness will  cause men to kill people or themselves. Improving mental health center and some agencies is quite significant to help people get rid of mental illness.
 (4) CA
       Gun laws are quite important for America because they will reduce the numbers of illegal weapons people have, but the laws cannot keep people who have mental illness away from gun violence. We cannot deny the effect of gun laws that can reduce the rate of gun violence and gun shooting, but improving the mental services  can help us to find out who probably has the tendency of the gun violence. It is more efficient to prevent gun shooting. Some people still believe that gun control can prevent the gun violence and ban a lot of gun sellers to sell guns. Apparently, this policy can adjust the situation that someone uses gun to kill innocent people for their own reasons. The rate of gun violence will be decreased if fewer guns appear to people’s life and less people own guns. The article “ Common-sense gun control: even the NRA Should Back this”  was written by Karen Weese who supported gun laws. In her article she believed that governments could do something to stop or prevent some gun shooting by gun laws. Weese knew that people with mental illness are all over the world, but laws could at least do something to reduce the violence. Well, the gun control is quite a good method to protect people’s lives and reduce the gun shooting. However, it will not be completely carried out for a long term because no one can change the gun violence history of America nor destroy every illegal black market nor even control people’s hearts. Lifton said in his article: “ Indeed, I would claim that a gun is not just a lethal device but a psychological actor in this terrible drama.” (Robert J.L. 2008, p3) Actually, the gun laws cannot cover the part of mental illness. We will never know who has this kind of disease and how we use laws to protect the citizens. The main task for us is to let people have correct outlook of value and attitude when they are facing the history of gun violence. People can also get guns somewhere else if the gun laws give them too many pressures. Starting with an appropriate guidance of using guns will help people get a mentally health. To build and create mental health service to serve people is quite important as well.
(5) Solution
       There are too many reasons causing people to have mental illness that is related to gun violence. People can become more responsible and stable if they accept the treatment of mental health. The article “ Now Is The Time-The President’s plan to protect our children and our communities by reducing gun violence”(The White House, 2013) gives us many suggestions and solutions through mental health service to help people who have this kind of disease and want to use guns to shoot. It shows that three-quarters of mental illnesses appear by the age of 24. That means the rate of mental illness increases among kids and young adults. It illustrates that mental health will be the key bringing forth more and more gun violence. President Obama has a plan to train mental health professionals, provide mental health with first aid, and ensure coverage of mental health treatment. The American government has already noticed the importance of mental illness that exists among people and they try to find solutions to solve it at most. Although the gun laws can limit people’s actions, mental health is more efficient to cover the psychology part. Sometimes the laws can punish people who killed someone, but the laws cannot let the victims revive. However, the mental illness service can forecast the problem before someone is going to shoot others. Creating a strong mental health service team and system is quite important for America where guns can be got easily.
(6) Conclusion
       In conclusion, there are still many people believe that gun laws can protect them and we do not deny it. In fact, the death rate of gun shooting every year has not changed under the protection of gun control. It is necessary improving mental health service and training some professional staff to prevent someone who is controlled by their emotion before he finds a gun and pulls the trigger to kill. The article, which is written by Wright, is named “ Gun control laws will not save lives”. Wright mentioned that “ A normal citizen dose not suddenly become a murderer... The emotions that cause a person to make an obscene gesture, shout angry words, or even throw a punch…make someone draw a handgun and kill a fellow human...” (Wright, S, 2012 p 13) There are many details about people’s emotional things. They cannot be included in gun laws. What we can do is to improve our mental health service that can find more of these kinds of people who are mentally ill. They have suicide tendency, mentally disorder and unstable emotions. Advocating mental health is more meaningful than we ban guns, especially in America.
       Guns are part of life. Americans have had guns since the victory of the Independence War. But they forgot what the LORD our God said to Moses at Mount Sinai,‘You shall not murder.’That is one of the Ten Commandments. However, ‘The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more.’（Romans 5:20, Holy Bible）The grace, the center of mental health, is getting rid of evil from the heart.
