Should Kids Have Guns In School

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.

The debate of whether or not teachers should be allowed to carry guns in school is very heated and continues to dilemma the minds of many. However, both the supportive and opposing parties have good grounds that can be used to choose. Recently in the year 2012, 26 people in elementary school in Texas were shot dead triggering public demand that teachers should be armed with guns in order to protect our students. A local resident of the area around the elementary school opened fire on 20 students and 6 staff before he shot himself dead. Maybe, just maybe this could have been avoided if the teachers were armed with fire arms. This however might send the wrong message to students, making them believe that it is okay to carry guns around or shoot people. Are our children safer with guns in school or without? The answer lies only by examining the cause and effect of this idea.

For over a decade, There has been an alarming rate of gun violence in schools from middle schools to college and many people have debated on how to stop this. Currently, it has been proposed that in order to combat school shootings, teachers should be armed with guns of their own. Although in some ways it may sound like a good idea, this is not an idea that would eliminate the issue nor make classrooms feel any safer. According to an article in the huffington post, they make it apparent to remind people that kids know how to get their hands on anything if they desired it bad enough. “ask your mother” Ken Corbett, author of the article states, “Better yet, recall how you knew where she hid the Christmas presents. Or where your father kept his

During the past few years, the number of school shootings has increased markedly. In 2013, there were 19 school shootings that occurred, taking so many innocent lives. Some may remember the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14th, 2013. It was the second deadliest massacre shooting in United States history, behind the 2007 Virginia Tech Massacre. Adam Lanza shot twenty children, six staff, his mother, and himself that day. School shootings are tragic. Violence continues to increase with these shootings, as well as with violence within the schools among the students. The big question is, how do we protect ourselves from these horrible occurrences? How do teachers protect the innocent lives of their students? One common suggestion is for the teachers and administration to be armed. The premise is that if the school staff has possession of firearms this would discourage shooters, thereby making the schools much safer. However, it is my belief that teachers should not be able to have access to weapons. There should never be any type firearm on a school property, excluding trained security personnel, such as police officers and security guards.

he first main idea, that has been argued much more then needed, is that teachers will be trained to not shoot kids that are acting up. The teachers would be attending a gun safety class. Many (as in people against this argument) say that the teachers wouldn’t attend this class, but a recent survey, conducted by the NRA, shows us that 40 million teachers would like to be armed and would take the Gun Safety Test. The course, that which is mandatory, would likely e sponsored by the NRA. The course that the teachers would be attending, is a 40-60 hours a week course (in the summer time), and the course doesn’t stop until the teacher can pass the exam. The exam is simply being able to hold a gun, reaction time, and being able to know when and when not to shoot. Just recently, 04/10/2017, a school shooting killed two teachers, and injured two students, both kids being injured severely. If those teachers in San Bernardio where armed, they could have saved their lives and those children’s futures. Also in 2013 teacher aids, the principal, the school psychologist, teachers, and 20 children ranging from 6-7 were killed in Sandy Hook, making a death total of 26 people, plus one. That plus one should not be accounted for, that plus one was the

Ultimately, this comes down to which solution can fit best between the two groups of those that want guns and those that don’t. A solution that can be in favor of both sides is introducing guns into our children education at school. Not an education use obviously, but on how dangerous it is and what mechanisms to identify when they

I do therefore humbly propose it for public consideration that we allow and encourage the children of North America to bring a gun to school. In the hands of a properly educated, innocent child, a firearm brings no harm to the one who wields it. A gun cannot fire without someone of ill-intent

The president of the united states donald trump suggest that teachers should carry guns to school, I totally agree with the president trump. The trump admission doubled down this week on its support for arming teachers announcing that it wants to help states provide teachers with “ reigorons” firearms training. Trump support the idea that teachers should carry guns to school and i agree with that because me as a student i would feel more safe and comfortable to go to school. I also support the idea that teachers should carry guns to school because i want other students to feel more safe and comfortable to school.

The big question in a lot of schools today do to several shootings and terrible incidents is whether or not a teacher should be able to be armed with a gun in case a situation of self-defense. It is a concern from regular citizens to teachers and all the way up to the government itself. Realistically, there would be a lot of problems trying to implement guns in the first place but seems reasonable in some ways as well. Teachers having or not having firearms will probably be decided soon enough, but is looking like they won’t have any in the near future. There are several reasons why a teacher should be armed in a school building.

In 2015, 13,367 people lost their lives due to gun violence according to Gun Violence Archive. The Archive also states that out of that number, 693 were children from ages 0-11. We can all agree that there is indeed a problem that we have to address. The solution to that problem, however, has been debated by many. I believe the solution to this problem exists in three parts: Mandatory training and licensing along with more heavily secure gun storage, stricter regulations on the purchasing of a firearm—disabilities and criminal records should be more deeply looked into before transaction—and finally, equipping teachers at highs schools with the right kind of weaponry to prevent mass shootings.

If teachers were allowed to carry guns it would prevent school shootings from happening. A mother doesn't get to see her child anymore because they were shot, a teacher could have prevented it with a gun. Our president, Donald Trump said himself allowing 20% of teachers to carry guns could stop school shootings all together, and I agree teachers could end massacres at school.

After the tragic Sandy hook school shooting the National Rifle Association released a statement saying that “all American schools should have armed gunman or cops in schools to prevent these type of mass shooting happening in the future”.This statement was not taken lightly to left wing democrats that said things like,“dystonia vision," about the NRA statement. But the only problem I can see with the NRA's proposal is that it does not go far enough. All of these grievous situations can be prevented with the arming of the people most at risk in these situations, aka the children. Forsome reason nobody in this country is willing to admit the obvious, which is that the kids in that school would have been able to protect themselves and their peers ,if only we'd let them.

According to the Washington Post, American children are nine times more likely to die from a gun accident compared to children in other countries. Gun safety is a hot topic that is constantly debated in the media between the differing viewpoints. However, raising gun safety awareness among children is something that every parent and responsible citizen can agree upon. Here are three reasons why children should learn firearm safety.

A controversy that have been going on since the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012. Three years ago twenty, first-graders between the ages of six and seven were killed along with four teachers the principal and the school psychologist. The shooter age twenty is responsible for this massacre. This has every school in America asking the question, should we put guns on our campuses? No, you shouldn 't though it sounds like a great idea now you must think about the future impact in would have on the student population. College campuses are having an especially hard with this considering the age group in which their student body lies. If this law was passed campuses around America would have to face the fact that student would be able to carry around dangerous weapons. More guns on campus would create additional risk for students, shooters would not be deterred by concealed carry permit holders and those who do carry guns aren 't even required to take proper training or gun safety classes.

In the state of California, an issue has formed regarding who should and shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms on school grounds. For twenty years, it has been considered illegal to possess a firearm within 1000 feet of an elementary school, secondary school, or on the grounds of a college, trade school or university. The Gun Free Zone Act supports this measure, however, it exempts persons possessing a permit to carry concealed weapons. In this case, retired police officers. The Times Editorial Board believes that during a time where school shootings are an issue, this exemption should be addressed and reviewed, and although Sen. Lois Wolk has proposed a bill, it doesn’t do the job.
