Every year hundreds of people lose their lives to gun violence in the United States and Kentucky is no exception. In recent years, the state has been the site of several mass shootings, leading to intense debate over gun control and safety.

The problem of gun violence in the United States is complex and multifaceted. The reasons behind the shootings are diverse, but one of the main causes is the easy access to weapons. In Kentucky, it is legal to carry a gun without a permit.

This means that anyone over the age of 21 with no criminal record can purchase a handgun, rifle or shotgun without a permit. However, easy access to guns is not the only cause of shootings in Kentucky. Mental health is also an important factor.

Many of the perpetrators of shootings often have undiagnosed or untreated mental health issues, which leads them to commit violent acts. Lack of access to medical care and the stigma surrounding mental illness are two of the main barriers that hinder the treatment of these illnesses.
