Author

The author of this infographic is Ahmed Alouddi. A junior at The City College of New York.

Purpose 

This infographic aims to raise awareness about gun violence and show people the damage that guns have caused to our society and country. There are always incidents where guns are used to hurt someone or hurt themselves, which caused many casualties and raised many questions. Why are people allowed to get guns? Why do people have guns in the first place? What is being done to limit this gun violence? The people demand gun laws and only a few states have laws and regulations concerning guns. Just this year in March 2021, There was a mass shooting that killed 10 people in colorado. This is one out of many mass shootings. This shows the need and necessity required to input gun laws in all states.

Audience

The Audience of this infographic is the general public and anyone. I want this message to reach everyone and show them the casualties and deaths guns have caused in society and the reason why we need a change because anyone could be a criminal and anyone can be a victim. Also, anyone could have been in that position where they were in front of a person with a gun ready to kill.
