Freewrite about your thoughts on the shootings in Buffalo (May 14) and Texas (May 24). You may also choose to freewrite about gun violence in general. (If today’s topics trigger any strong emotions, and you need a moment, just let me know).

In some cases, gun violence can be a very preventable thing. However many states make it extremely easy to get a gun. Most states don't require a mental health check and they will only do a background check on the past 3 years. If you don't have a criminal record then you will be able to receive a gun fairly easily. In many states, guns can be bought at Walmart. People should not be able to buy a gun in the same place children toys are bought. Even if gun reform laws are made stricter, people will still be able to buy guns illegally. This is an unpreventable thing. However making the laws stricter will still help.

Its a shame that these kids had to go through something like that and over 10 passed away. I believe it is way to easy to get a gun in some places and they should change something about it.

I think that it a horrible event to happen. I feel as if gun violence should be stopped by laws that require background checks in multiple different aspects.

My thoughts about the shootings in Texas are very heartbroken and I feel very bad because innocent children were killed for absolutley no reason, I dont think that teenager should have acess to that gun. I also feel bad for the parents who should still have their children today. I don't think guns should fully be taken away, I think only certain people should have acess to guns like Law Enforement and Secret Service and Military but they should not take guns away from parents because it is their property and if they Legally have them they should be able to keep them for their protection.

I don’t really have any thoughts about the shooting

I felt like what happened yesterday and at Buffalo was very tragic and depressing. The people who did those crimes are very sick people who did that. The innocent lives of the children that got their lives ended before it began is truly disgusting.

I think that the shooting was terrible and it was crazy that the person lived streamed it and thought it was ok to shoot innocent people

It is very sad. My friend sent me the footage of the whole thing and he was just shooting people from left to right. Gun laws do not need to be made stricter because people need a gun to defend themselves. They need to lock away the people that are doing this and they are not doing that.

It was a devastating event that never should have happened, gun control in America is getting out of hand.

I think that it is a horrible thing that happened and it’s terrible that people that would do something like that exist in this world.

I think things like that need to stop its so sad to hear this happening , you as well should not be shooting in a little kids school, school should be a safe place not a place for parents to wonder if their kids will be okay

I think that this school shooting was really horrific and sad. Multiple innocent lives were taken for no reason and it's not ok. I feel bad for the friends and families affected by this, and hope that tragedies like this will stop.

It's a shame that these kids have to go through something like this and over 10 kids passed away. I feel like fun violence should be stopped.

It was so sad to hear how many families lost their loved ones.. Gun violence is an issue that comes up way too often, and our government needs to put a stop to it.
