Guns control has always been the problematic subject in the country, but now we have to worry about guns control on campus. We as a country haven't do anything to decrease mass shooting in public, school ground and college campuses. Almost every week we have to hear of a mass shooting somewhere in the country. In Texas alone, there are 16 mass shootings this year. I got at least two notify texts and emails from ACC about a suspect with a gun around the Eastview campus. Just about one or two weeks ago, Eastview campus was locked down because of a suspect pursued. What other evidences do we need before the national, states and locals government step in and do something?
I do not agree with allowing a student to carry guns on campus. That's just asking for trouble. Many college students are underage, even those that are 21 years or older is not mature or psychologically stable to handle a gun. I don't trust most adults out there to carry a gun. If we let college students carry a gun on campus, it will be the last and biggest mass shooting we'll see, or we'll just have more mass shooting every day. And, it will become an everyday thing. Oh wait, it's already an everyday thing right now.
The State and local governments need to work together to work out a solution for gun control. We need to have stricter guns control. We're living in a country that the government control and monitor how much pseudoephedrine we can buy in a transaction and a month. But, we do not have a proper way to prevent people from using a gun to harm the innocents.
I disagree with Rachel Doan in her blog, TX a State of Mind. Mass shootings can happen anywhere a any time, and knowing that you can protect yourself and others by carrying a licensed gun. Being stricter to the people about carrying guns will only help the people who intend to do harm. If they are willing take innocent lives, what's to stop them from obtaining a gun illegally to do their harm. If we are able to carry on college campuses, the bad guys might stop doing shootings in schools knowing they won't last long because other guys are also carrying. Many students will stand vulnerable to anyone pointing a gun at them.
ReplyDeletePlace yourself in a situation where you are sitting in your class room and a stranger walks in holding a gun with the the intention to kill, and before he can start your classmate gets up and stops them. Not only saving you but everyone else around
