Just recently, Levi Tillemann, a democratic candidate campaigning for a seat in the US House of Representatives, released a new campaign video advertisement in preparation for the upcoming election. In the ad, which took idiocy to a new level, he absurdly suggested that the solution put forward by republicans to arm well-trained volunteers with firearms would lead to innocent kids being killed and claimed that arming them with pepper spray was a better alternative. The democratic House candidate

City of Bakersfield (2017), Vice Principal Williams of Tevis Junior High School worked in a district that had a gun free zone policy. In December of 2013, Williams obtained a license to carry a concealed weapon from the Sheriff's Department to protect his family and began taking his gun to school. In August 2014 he showed his gun to another teacher and mentioned that he always carries his gun, even on school grounds.

I think legally teachers should be able to carry guns at school because if anything bad were to happen then they would have some sort of armed Having more people armed would deter shooters looking for an easy targetprotection to keep the students and themselves safe from harm's way. School shooting happen a lot, And I believe they need to be stopped or at least get some type of way from inside of the building to keep students and staff safe. The Parkland shooting demonstrated police are not

short time ago, a commercial ad about gun control was shown. This ad shows a clock ticking down all the while showing young students, parents, teachers and an unknown person carrying a bag. This was a very emotional way for me to enter the world of gun control. The news seems full of school shootings lately, starting with Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook and the last one at USC campus. They seem to be growing on scale and frequency. School shootings and gun control have become tied together in

schools could carry a concealed gun. School campuses should have police officers. In addition, all entrances should be secured and have metal detectors. I believe that certain teachers should carry a gun. 172 school districts in Texas allow staff and/or board members to carry firearms on school premises (Beatriz.1). And out of the 172 school’s districts there has been no school shootings. If the schools where the shootings has occurred, if the teachers would have had guns there would have

security guards.” That is in fact true, but what if a school couldn’t afford a security guard? What if the security guard was gun downed by the gunner and no one else could stop the gunner? These are the questions that we must ask ourselves if we want to protect students and faculty in the future by these crazed gunners. However, what if we allowed the faculty to carry a gun to protect themselves and their students? We don’t expect to hand over a firearm to a teacher and expect them to know how to

life would be like without guns? Whether you’re for or against gun control, we’re all going to figure that out if something doesn’t change. Sure, some say that guns do so many horrible things, but in reality, if we enact stricter gun laws, things would only get worse. We need to protect our 2nd amendment right, because taking away our guns will not decrease violence, lessens our ability to defend ourselves, and will not prevent suicide. What would happen if there were no guns? Would crime rates increase

They were protesting about gun control and arming teachers/staff. The citizens of Florida wanted their government to finally add permits onto the guns. They asked Donald Trump to “do something about it”, other than sending thoughts and prayers to the students who have been killed during the shooting. In Florida, you do not need a permit to carry a gun. Even if you’re 18 years old. Also, if you’re 21 in Florida, you still do not need a permit, but expect open carrying a gun. As of right now, some states

On Jan. 1, 2016, new gun laws go into effect. This allows is for concealed hand gun license owners to carry openly. Members of Moms Demand Action are troubled with the new law.

Shortly after, Shannon Watts created a Facebook page and reached out to people, specifically mothers who were dissatisfied with gun violence in America and the inaction of

disappointing to me that the very symbols of our freedom are being questioned. A prime example of this was in the news about a week ago. Six students that attend the University of California-Irvine were petitioning to have the American flag removed from the campus grounds because it was not inclusive to all nationalities (Starnes). You heard me correctly! They felt our American flag should not be displayed unless flags of all other nations were also displayed. I had a strong reaction to the request of these
