How To Stop School Shootings

According to the video, there are many ways we can do to prevent the school shooting. First, never bully others. You many bully other just for fun, but you can’t image how much damage will be made to others by you rude behavior. Second, pay more attention to people around you. Just like the video shown, if you notice somebody show the signs of gun violence, you may have a talk with him(her), try to understand what he(she) is thinking and help him(her) release his(her) repression, and get out of his(her) own depressed world. Or you may tell teachers to help that person. Third, to be nice with the person who has communication problem. Those people usually feel they are inferior, don’t be respected by others. That causes they feel hopeless. Therefore,

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.

2 of the 5 deadliest mass shootings in modern American history have happened this year. The United States constitution ensures that every citizen has the right to firearms, the question at hand however is to what extent these firearms can be regulated or where should the government draw the line to ensure that the safety of American citizens is prioritized? There comes a point where sending thoughts and prayers just isn’t enough anymore. However, one thing is for certain: something must be done. Guns should be strictly regulated to reduce gun deaths, threat of mass shootings and to be completely true to the promises of the constitution.

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

School shootings are terrifying to think about, but there are ways to help prevent the massacres from ever happening again. The first known school shooting was at the Texas Tower at the University of Texas in 1966 where Charles Whitman shot and killed 16 people while injuring 31 others. Who would have known since that date that we would have more then 200 deaths on school campuses? The most storied shooting in the 90’s was probably the Columbine massacre where on April 20, 1999 Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 32 students and faculty before turning the guns on themselves. The horror scene from the day will always be remembered in many lives and will continue over the years. There were many other horrible shootings over the years as

A very controversial topic throughout the United States and the world is guns. As American citizens, we have a constitutional right to own a fire arm. But why is a gun so important and why is it such a huge part of the United States division of its people? The division starts with people using this Second Amendment to harm people. In recent years, mass shootings have become the norm for the United States and that outcome is not the purpose of the Second Amendment. These mass shooting happen everywhere from movie theatres to concert halls. But the majority of these mass shootings seem to happen at schools with innocent children aging from kindergarten to high school students. With the deaths of children in school rising, the urge to find a solution and develop prevention tactics have become top priority. Not only limiting the access to guns but finding out the reason behind the shootings will help aid in the fight to stop gun violence in schools.

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

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

School shootings have been going on ever since the 18th century. However, they have become more common. Ever since the 1999 shooting at Columbine High, people have been trying to come up with ways to deter school shootings. Below is a list of things that are being done to deter school shootings:

School shootings continue to happen so something should happen to prevent. There are different options to help prevent them. We can do something like putting more bans on guns, arm teachers, or reach out to kids to make them not want to do something so tragic. In my opinion none of those would create a full solution to the problem. A ban on guns would not help because like drugs, guns can be obtained illegally. Arming teachers I do not think would prevent help kids. It gives frustrated teachers power to end a life. Teachers can be strange too and could shoot up a school as well. Helping kids may cause some help, however it would be so hard to reach every kid. Or some kids are just too far gone and will only want to cause harm.

The reason why our nation is allowed to bear a large quantity of firearms is due to the Second Amendment of our constitution, which specifically states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." (U.S. Const. am. 2) Because of how vague this amendment is when it comes to law interpretation, it is often used by gun advocates to argue for lenient gun laws. Even though the Second Amendment prevents the federal government from completely banning guns in America, there are still restrictions on the distribution and possession of firearms. Each of the states have their own specific gun laws but generally, a person must obtain a license or permit to purchase or possess a firearm. Also, another thing to note is that all states allow some form of concealed carry, which is carrying a concealed firearm in public. Despite the laws that allow the bearing and distribution of guns, society has multiple viewpoints concerning the usage and appropriateness of the freedom of having the "right to bear arms."

From 1966 to 2012, nearly a third of the world's mass shootings took place in the U.S. According to a 2016 study, it surveyed 292 incidents and found that 90 of them occurred in America. While the U.S. has 5% of the world's population, it had 31% of all public mass shootings. According to the Gun Violence Archive, which compiles data from shooting incidents, a mass shooting is any incident where four or more people are wounded or killed. By that definition, we've seen 136 mass shootings in the first 164 days of this year. With these statistics we must figure out how to stop mass killings, some examples would include media responsibility, gun control, and helping the mental health.

Gun control is an extremely controversial issue in the United States, and the debates around this topic has started many decades ago. According to the article “Gun Rights vs. Gun control” by Brianna Gurciullo, these debates are fueled by the people who defend the gun rights and the people who advocate in favor of gun control. It has been difficult to prove that gun ownership is directly related to an increase in violence due to the fact that researches tend to disagree on the impact of gun ownership in the American society. These debates tend to be brought to the spotlight whenever there is a mass shooting in the United States, which according to Abbey Oldham, who is a reporter from the PBS News Hour, happens quite frequently. However, organizations, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), defend that the laws for gun control violate the Second Amendment of the constitution, which states “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” stated Gurciullo. Due to the distinct interpretations of the constitution and the difficulty to agree on the best approach to tackle the issue, this controversy seem to be almost unsolvable.

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.

Seeing the word ‘shooting’ in a news headline is becoming way too common nowadays. It’s unfortunate that the frequent deaths and mass shootings has started to divide the nation rather than bring us together in order to fix this epidemic of gun violence. Whether you are pro gun or anti gun, you are likely pro preserving the lives of your fellow citizen also. So in order to prevent these frequent shootings, we must come up with a solution. I believe that the easy access and type of guns available to everyday citizens needs to changed. The second amendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I absolutely agree with our constitutional right to protect our families and property yet I do not agree with ALL types of guns being accessible.
