School Shootings And The Shootings

Guns are becoming one of the top issues in the newspapers (The Monroe Evening News). There have been 394 incidents of students bringing guns to school in the United States since 1998 (Sutton). Legislators say that the law cannot prevent the tragedy of the fatal shootings in the schools

Mass shootings have become one of the most fearful events that could happen in elementary schools, high schools, and College campuses. These violent actions committed by a number of individuals have happened for many years and will continue happening unless prevented. Individuals like James Holmes opened fire in a Colorado movie theater, killing twelve individuals and injuring twenty, John Sawahri shot five students dead in Santa Monica College also injuring four individuals. However Eric Harris and Dylan Kleibold executed the most horrific act of school violence in United States History. These two individuals managed to take the lives of twelve students, a teacher and managed to take their own life in the process. This act of crime has spread through America, leaving no one safe.

The first recorded school shooting in America dates back to 1764, during Pontiac’s War. Since then, hundreds have occurred, claiming many lives (Galvin). In the modern era, the rarity of these events has been steadily decreasing, which may be caused the confusion that surrounds gun laws and regulations. The new debate over this issue is likely due to the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. Since that event, about 65 people who have committed a school shooting have referenced Columbine as a motive. Also, there has been over 250 shootings since that fateful day in 1999 (Pearle). To deal with these tragic occurrences, the government has opened the debate on gun laws and regulations. But this debate often leads to officials being unable to make up their minds or whole groups of people being split on their opinion. This causes a stalemate that does not help our nation's current situation. Currently, the government is not doing enough to prevent school shootings.

Throughout the years there have been numerous of debate confrontations about regardless of whether weapon control is a decent answer for the United States. Therefore, two extremely particular sides have shaped: one for gun control and one against it. As of late, the pro weapon control side has contended that the numerous school shootings were halfway an aftereffect of our nation 's negligible firearm control. To numerous this might appear like a sensible contention, however in actuality it is an over-speculation; there are numerous different variables that have impact in horrendous occasions like school shootings. Those against firearm control have contended that weapon control laws are an infringement of subject 's protected rights

We never thought that a day would come where parents would be weeping over their child’s death, and such little hands could hold such a weapon that determines if a person lives or not. School shootings are on the rise more than ever in today’s society. We imagine school to be a place where we make new friends, learn about our society and gain an education. We all picture a safe place where our future all begins. Lately we often ask ourselves why do high school shootings occur and what goes on behind the minds of these individuals. As an average American we often overlook things and say “that could never happen at my school, school shootings rarely happen”. Communities all over the county live in fear of school shootings. Instead, we should feel secure in sending our children to school and not be afraid of what happens at school five days a week, seven hours each day. American schools have now become a dangerous place and high school shootings have been occurring all over the county leading to more and more deaths each year. Due to the number of school shootings each year we often have to ask ourselves who are these shooters and why do these events occur?

Mass shootings have become a grim occurrence that seem to happen more frequently, no matter what repercussions they have. From the club shooting in Orlando to the violent attacks on students in schools, these events have unfortunately transpired repeatedly over the recent decades, with no end in sight. However, the recent Stoneman Douglas high school shooting may have begun the movement to change legislation so that these shootings present themselves, if at all, considerably less often. Most will say the government isn’t doing enough, but the likelihood that they will reject funding from the National Rifle Association (NRA) or amend Americans’ right to bear arms is so miniscule it is almost pointless to argue, however there may be a more plausible alternative. Congress and the President have the power to intensify the background checks and exams that citizens must undergo in order to purchase these weapons. More thorough criminal and mental examinations may prevents felons from obtaining these weapons of war, or could lead to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as depression or schizophrenia.

Currently in American society, gun control is a hot topic due to recent gun-related crimes such as the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. According to CNN, during the shooting 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and murdered 20 children and 6 adults due to gun violence. It was discovered that three guns were used “…a semiautomatic AR-15 assault rifle made by Bushmaster and pistols made by Glock and Sig Sauer” (Sandy Hook Shooting: What Happened?) to shoot his way into an elementary school and killing everyone

School shootings are a big problem in the U.S. right now. There have been about eleven school shootings since the beginning of 2018. Should teachers have a firearm in the classroom at all time to fire at the shooter if they get in the classroom? Teachers should not be able to have a firearm in classroom because one of the children could get the gun and it creates more problems.

In today's society it's not drugs and alcohol at school were worried about anymore, It's guns. Gun violence and school shootings have been all over the news in 2018. The question everyone keeps asking themselves, is why? A few things that play a factor in most of these school shootings are the shooters home and school life, their easy access to the weapon, and their overall wellbeing as a whole.

    The first recorded school shooting in America dates back to 1764, during Pontiac’s war. Since then, hundreds have occurred, claiming many lives. In the modern era, the rarity of these events has been steadily decreasing, which may be a cause of the confusion that surrounds gun laws and regulations. The new debate over this issue in likely due to one of the worst school shootings in recent years- Columbine High School shooting in 1999. Since that event, over 150 shootings have occurred on school campuses. To deal with these tragic occurrences, the government has opened the debate on gun laws and regulations. But this debate often leads to officials being unable to make up their minds or whole groups of people

The article discusses the effect of school shootings in the U.S. It highlights the U.S. 2nd Amendment in the Constitution that provides human rights to keep and bear arms but prohibits individuals from owning loaded guns in the country's several states including Washington, D.C. and Illinois. Also mentioned is the increase in cases of mass school shootings from 1760 to 2014 despite the implementation of gun-free school zones in 1995.

There's been another school shooting. This phrase is one that should never become second nature. Unfortunately, the frequency in which these atrocities are happening are making it a phrase with which many are becoming numb. After all, according to a Washington Post article based on a Department of Defense numbers claimed there have been twice as many students killed in school shootings than adults who lost their lives will actively deployed in the military.

School shootings have grown and become a big problem for the United States over the past four to five years. The issue is a hotly debated topic and has divided people because of their views. The truth is, there isn’t just one answer to this problem and people are so worried about their views and their guns they are slowing the rate of change. To truly reduce the number of shootings we need to, stop bullying in schools, improve support for the victims of bullying, make the ability to obtain a fully automatic weapon more difficult for the mentally ill, create a checklist or steps for schools to identify and deal with the problem, ban certain weapon accessories, and improve school safety.

The shootings that occur in schools throughout the Unites States have created a great divide among Americans on what we should do as a nation to prevent further violence with guns from happening. Many people believe that imposing laws when purchasing weapons and requiring background checks, holding adults responsible for the actions of their children and requiring gun locks on weapons to prevent children from obtaining such weapons will stop these massacres in our schools from happening. There are many issues that need to be looked at in order to decide which laws are necessary.

In the 21st century people to a certain degree care more about pets of their own or strangers other than a human baby. As they put a dog on a carriage and a toddler on a leash as it is shown how to raise a child in the century. It seems as not many will care about a kid’s death but will sob tears of despair over a dog even if they do not know nothing about it. As well as being protected from such parents or other people such as pedophiles. Then there is also the fact the kids are not told the rights or wrong in the United States laws and the consequences. Therefore, children need rights as there are times when parents act like children therefore also need help along with other troubles in their growth. Kids will have neglectful parents, terrible
