Handguns Should Not Be Allowed In Schools

Imagine a world where school shootings did not exist. Parents could send their children to school without having to worry about them being shot. In 2013, thirty school shootings took place in the United States. The most devastating school shooting in U.S. history was the Bath School shooting. On May 18, 1927, Andrew Kehoe entered the Bath Elementary School killing thirty-eight people and injuring fifty-eight. Kehoe then returned to his truck, and committed suicide by using explosives. School teachers would have a better chance, in high risk situations if they carried guns.

What if a kid was left in a room with an unloaded gun in reach? In 2014, a psychologist ran a social experiment using young kids as subjects. ABC recorded the experiment results as almost every kid decided to pick up the firearm and point it at each other (ABC News). Overall a kid is exceptionally curious by the time they enter school. Teaching firearm safety courses, especially at younger ages, would help children to treat firearms with respect. As a main point, the most common gun safety trick for most teens at the DNR and other hunter education courses, Is that if you see a gun; leave it be, walk away, and tell an adult. At older ages, educated teens might be able to extend their learning experience by joining a trap team or competitive

Concealed carry is allowed in the public why shouldn’t it be allowed in schools? If adults had weapons they could protect students. I believe in school’s adults should have the right to carry a concealed weapon.

“I’d Feel More Comfortable knowing teachers aren’t armed” - Ben Carson People feeling that guns will make schools safer are usually on that side because most are afraid of being a victim of a school shooting, when most don’t realise that if there is a person in the class already that is armed there will be a more chance of being shot if the teacher has problems after they were “trained” .Teachers being armed at school might be a good thing for people and bad for some others that really just don't like guns at all. According to The New York Post, the Majority of people 82% wouldn’t feel like a teacher having a gun would be necessary. The other 18% feel like it is needed for a less chance of a school shooter to take out people. Guns should be held away from teachers and there are many people that can agree with my position. If teachers were to be armed with guns, the students wouldn’t really be paying attention to what the teacher is trying to teach, but mostly focus on what if the teacher pulls out

With the recent events of school shooting occurrences and student led protests, the media has been buzzing about new gun law proposals. We wanted to know “should teachers be allowed to carry guns in schools”. We figured people's response might differ based on our approach and what groups of people we surveyed. We then decided to ask a group of students and teachers, to see if they’d have different perspectives.

“The first thing Violand saw was a gun, then the gunman, ‘I quickly dove under a desk, ’he recalled, ‘that was the desk I chose to die under.’ “(Maraniss). While the U.S. constitution says Americans have the right to bear arms, firearms continue to threaten our schools, work and religious areas. Regardless of the danger that guns possess some states have passed a bill to allow campus carry, which grants professors and college students the choice to carry a firearm on college or university campuses. Although, we have seen the amount of influence that firearms have caused in the past a good amount of public still supports the claim that guns are a reasonable source of protection. However, while many in favor of campus carry view it as a safety precaution, campus carry should not be allowed because there is no evidence that proves campus carry will keep students safer and carrying a concealed weapon can distract from the learning environment.

All around the world we hear about school shootings. Parents worry for the safety of their children every time they send them off to school. There have been many solutions to help decrease gun violence and one solution that they have come up with is to have teachers take guns to school. According to the National Conference of State Legislature, more than 30 states in 2013 considered proposals to provide training and firearms to school staff. South Dakota became the first to actually pass a bill allowing educators to carry concealed weapons ( ncsl.org paragraph 2).

Even though guns are used for good every day, they are also used for situations that are not good for our safety or the safety of others. Gun violence continues to rise in places where handguns are illegal. In the United Kingdom, where hand guns are illegal there are more violent crimes than here in the United States where handguns are legal. Even though we have less violent crimes, we still have a major problem with violence. The article “Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence” states, “On average, thirty-two Americans are murdered with guns every day and one hundred-forty are treated for a gun assault in an emergency room” (“Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence”). So it shows violent crimes are still a big problem in this country. One of the biggest problems is how much it affects the children of our country. The author also says, “Youth children which live in the most rural U.S. counties are as likely to die from a gunshot as those living in the most urban counties. Rural children die of more gun suicides and unintentional shooting deaths. Urban children die more often of gun homicides” (“Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence”). Reading this fact is very alarming as children should not be around guns as they are very dangerous to them. Overall, guns can cause a lot of deaths, but it shows where they are legal there is less violent crimes.

The US in 2015 that was down from 824 deaths in 1999,. Centers of disease experts attribute the decline has changed from a mix of gun education. 489 people killed from unintentional shootings.2015 in the US that was down from 824 deaths. The disease experts in 1999 started to change the way you handle guns and were you would keep them. studies show that "children taught about firearms and thwn feir legitimate uses by family members have much lower rates of delinquency than children in households without guns" and "children introduced to guns associate them with freedom, security, and recreation—not violence. Young kids that were taught how to handle guns they have followed rules and did not commit crimes. Whether in the field, at the range or in the home, a responsible and knowledgeable gun owner is rarely involved in a firearms accident of any kind Evan if you're shooting in a field or a range if you are taught you will probably not ever have a firearm accident. of any kind

Teachers should not be aloud to have guns in school!! Teachers having guns in school or around school property would cause many problems. As I thought about this change that could happen, it came to me immediately, three problems that could occur. The first problem would be the danger that kids would be put around. The second problem would be all the changes and new rules that would have to be made in order to try to keep people safe.

Handguns in the United States have always been a debatable topic since there's people who don't agree with the freedom of carrying it and there's people who do. Specially in a college campus, where handguns are argued if they can be carried around by students, or be kept for government officials only. On June 1, 2015, Gregg Abbott signed the S.B 11 or also known as “Campus Carry Law” allowing licensed holders to carry concealed handguns around university campus starting August 1, 2016. Concealed carry on college campuses in Texas is controversial because people disagree about whether or not it's dangerous for students to carry handguns to class.

School shootings, it seems like every time you turn around there is a crazy person shooting up a school. all you can do is shake your head and wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to go to a school filled with innocent little children and shoot them. the problem here is that people who shouldn't have guns get guns and stuff like this happens. in my opinion i don't think it will help to amend or repeal the second amendment. but if i had to choose i would choose to amend it.people should be allowed to take a gun into and building except church people would be able to protect themselves if something were to happen. there is no reason to get rid of it because people who want a gun that bad will get one. getting rid of the right to own

In the article, “What We Don’t Know About Guns,” by Ted Alcorn discusses the common denominator in most gun related accidents. Last year at least 278 children accidently fired a gun and injured or killed someone. We found that the main problem for this is irresponsible gun storage. According to surveys about 15% of gun owning households with children store their guns unlocked and loaded. It is tracked that about two-thirds of all the unintentional child shootings came from the those households. Alcorn states that nearly two-thirds of all gun related accidents happen in children’s homes where they are sure to feel safe. Furthermore many people get injured or killed every year because the leading cause of gun violence is irresponsible gun storage.

Owning a gun of any type puts more citizens in danger than keeping safe. Accidental shootings happen in dramatic and regretful situations. There has been many occasions of accidental shootings that happen to family members. A case here where two boys were playing around, “Police say a 3-year-old was fatally shot in the head by his 6-year-old brother while they were playing "cops and robbers." According to authorities, the older brother found their father 's loaded revolver on top of the refrigerator and shot his little brother” (Miller). The father was arrested. That firearm tore a family apart forever. The mother lost

Laws in many governments prohibit carrying a knife. However, carrying a weapon is permitted in come cases, such as the Kirpan, a ceremonial sword worn at all times by followers of the Sikh religion. Nevertheless, ethics and morals do not determine a law. Instead, what is just and unjust is what matters, as John Austin believed, and to some, religion is not a recognizable purpose to carry a weapon. Possession of a knife in itself is not evil; rather the potential for violence creates a need for control and so elimination of the possibility is vital.
