On February 23, 2018, Dallas Morning News wrote an article called, "It's going to have to get uncomfortable."  This article is about how we need to make ourselves uncomfortable if we ever plan on fixing our gun hysteria.  We as Americans have an "inability to work towards solutions and it is quite literally killing us."   The article starts by giving you a surprising and sadly hard to believe the fact that, "gun violence is an appalling part of American culture that claims 92 lives, on average, every day."  To many, this is hard to believe because we as Americans have become numb to gun violence in our streets and schools.  However, they then let Texas know that they are very much part of this statistic, seeing as in November there was a mass shooting that killed 26 people.     

      I believe that this article is written for the older generation and the younger generation but to try and target them at different points.  One point that they are making is that "there are signs that slow progress is being made."  While I believe that progress is being made, I don't believe it's the progress they are trying to make it seem.  "While politicians and the public are having the first real conversation on gun violence," these conversations aren't spoken about.  The government is doing what they always do and making it appear that they are talking about an important change, however, we see no changes and unfortunately, the "slow change" that is being made is too slow, and we will have multiple mass shootings before they fix it.  

     What I believe the writer of this editorial, Dom DiFurio, does have right is that in order to change we as politicians, Americans, voters must be ready to talk about the things that make us uncomfortable.  I agree because if we allow ourselves to become comfortable and don't look at the things that make us look at the situation from a different angle we will allow ourselves to filter out the change that could be beneficial as well.  I also agree that "it is both sides that are going to have to withstand some level of discomfort."

I strongly recommend reading this editorial and allow yourself to become uncomfortable and push the government to make the changes.  To read the article click the following link: It's going to have to get uncomfortable
