America today. Gun-free zones are seen as a way to make the American population safer by preventing gun violence and mass shootings. Gun-control advocates want to enact these gun-free zones in many areas throughout the country. In a time where mass shootings and violent crimes seem to occur all the time, gun-free zones sound like a viable solution.

I disagree with the article “End the Gun Epidemic in America,” for a multitude of reasons.

On the contrary, I believe banning guns leaves citizens defenseless while presenting criminals with

Most of the mass shootings that occurred in the U.S were by legally purchased guns.

By having this kind of protection or guns possession, it can delay the security and order by causing threat and violence. Gun empowers individual which can be seen as an object of power.

into the Students for Gun Free Schools. Recent controversy on Concealed Carry within school grounds has some students feeling safe while others feel like they're stepping into a war zone waiting to erupt. Discomfort, increased risks, and flawed background checks- all these problems have led me to side against Concealed Carry, because without guns, we would be safer.

over thirty-one thousand people die annually as a root to firearms.
