EQ: Is removing guns the solution or is it just gonna make the students think that they're unsafe now?

Cons of having teachers armed in school:
-Having more guns would just cause more shootings and access to these guns. In order to control guns, you must limit them. Having fire arms in school would also cause students to feel less safe and more likely to be targeted if you are in a heated situation, you would always have to watch your back.
- What happens if the teacher doesn't lock it up right? A student could get it and it could be a 4 or 5 year old or it could be a 16 or 17 year old and it would cost more money that schools don't have to train teachers and what if the teachers use the training in the wrong way. Did you ever think of that?
- Why the heck would a teacher bring a gun to school!? The teacher may have serious mental problems plus anger issues. Plus some teachers might leave the gun unattended and the child might pick up the gun and play with it. And you know what happens when a child plays with a gun.
Pros of teachers being armed:
-Responsible adults who know how to handle a weapon properly should be able to carry with a conceled weapon permit. It's abserd to think that a good civilian with proper knowledge of weapons would leave the weapon on the desk or within reach of students. Conceled carrying permits means they are hidden so the student wouldn't even know.
- Teachers need to be able to protect their students. I do not believe in just giving some 🤬 teacher a gun. I think that the gun should be locked into a indastructable box that is only able to be unlocked in an intruder emergency. The principal would be informed when a gun is out and could unlock or lock the box if needed to
-Without the fire arms lots of people and children will be killed. Many schools have done it so why don't all schools carry weapons. Also the teachers would more than likely have to be trained. That would prove to adminastraters it is safe to let teachers carry guns in schools. In Sandy Hook Elementary school the weapons were brought in by an intruder. The children were not killed by a teacher.

EQ: Could removing guns make the solution for mass shooting schools good or bad, and why?
-some pros and cons by http://www2.gvsu.edu/alvestek/proscons.htm
"More schools are getting metal detectors. | Students are still bringing weapons to school.
Some schools are hiring police officers for enforcement.  | There are still many school shootings.
Schools are becoming more aware of the dangers and are taking more precautionary measures. | Students are scared to go to school.
A new organization, SASS (Students Against School Shootings) was formed and is helping people become more aware of the dangers.  | Schools and police officers are cracking down so much on this that children and teenagers are getting strip searched for only talking to their friends about other shootings." this shows pros and cons of having security measures to prevent from another shoting.
-Another shows on http://time.com/5158678/what-to-know-about-the-active-shooter-situation-at-florida-high-school/ were a students take out a rifle and started to shoot in the classrooms then blend in with the students and ran off.I think removing guns make the problem good because if that student did't have a rifle then i can't do mass shooting in school.
-Next is on Vox https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/6/16612014/sutherland-springs-shooting-good-guy-gun were they are saying "a good guy carry a gun" it showsthat when a good guy carries a gun it could save the problem before it get's worst, but there are some disclaimers about it.Like they might not respond to the shooting in time, and also guns could be the only solution that might cause shooting to happen.More guns,more death.
-Lastly on cnn news https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/16/us/20-deadliest-mass-shootings-in-u-s-history-fast-facts/index.html were a person shot 21people including children in a local Mcdonals in1984, soon technologhy will hurt more people and more damage to 🤬 people in the future.

https://hellochristian.com/4375-6-reasons-why-guns-should-not-be-banned

http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-guns-be-banned-in-america

One pro reason for banning guns is because civilians, including hunters, should not own military-grade firearms or firearm accessories. Also, People aren’t wrong to note that gun violence recently overtook deaths by automobile a cause of death in the United States, but the important context is that both of those numbers have been steadily decreasing—which is a good thing!

**(https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/03/whats-the-solution-to-gun-violence/462537/)**

One con reason is gun control efforts have proved ineffective.

**(https://gun-control.procon.org/)**

Second pro reason for banning guns is the Second Amendment was intended to protect the right of militias to own guns, not the right of individuals. Also, trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their duty weapon.

**(http://www.rulen.com/gunban/)**

Second con reason is the Second Amendment was intended to protect gun ownership of all able-bodied men so that they could participate in the militia to keep the peace and defend the country if needed gun possession is too widespread to be reversed.

**(https://hellochristian.com/4375-6-reasons-why-guns-should-not-be-banned)**

Last pro reason for banning guns is countries with restrictive gun control laws have lower gun homicide and rates than the United States.Also,unshackle the CDC: Restore the CDC's freedom to study this issue and provide science-based guidance.

**(https://www.preventioninstitute.org/focus-areas/preventing-violence-and-reducing-injury/preventing-violence-advocacy)**

Last con reason is that more gun control is not needed; education about guns and gun safety is needed to prevent accidental gun deaths. Also,guns don't 🤬 people, people 🤬 people.

Notes -
EQ - Is getting rid of guns the only solution to stop mass/school shootings?
1

- There are many solutions to gun violence and mass shootings. One of them being the main one stricter gun regulations

Some senators/congress members do not want to pass these laws.

March 14th is a national walk out due to it being exactly one month from February 14 when the shooting took place. This walk out is to put pressure on our state and federal lawmakers to pass and vote for the gun regulations.

Mass shootings barely take place anywhere else besides the U.S.A

Pros/Cons:
Pros;
- These tools should sit in glass cases right next to the fire alarm and fire extinguisher. (U.S. News/Teachers Should Be Allowed to Carry Firearms)
- Dave Workman, the senior editor of The Gun Mag and communications director of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said arming guards or teachers could act as a deterrent so that no one had to draw a weapon in the first place. (New York Times/Should Teachers Carry Guns?)
- Teachers who were qualified to handle a weapon — Mr. Trump estimated between 10 percent and 40 percent — would receive “a little bit of a bonus,” he said, adding that he would devote federal money to training them. (The New York Times/Should Teachers Be Armed With Guns?)
Cons;
- In the creation of the carceral state, in the expansion of drug laws, and in the extreme militarization of police in recent years, people have argued that placing more guns in the hands of authorities is the only way to keep people safe. But why would pro-Second Amendment enthusiasts be in favor of providing more firepower to the government? (The Atlantic/Arming Educators Violates the Spirit of the Second Amendment)
- Accidents happen. Guns can fall out of holsters, be taken from the classroom or accidentally discharge. (The New York Times/Should Teachers Carry Guns?)
- “You don’t want to have a gun that’s available to a student or another worker who may have mental health issues,” said Maureen S. Rush, vice president for public safety and superintendent of the Police Department at the University of Pennsylvania. (The New York Times/Should Teachers Carry Guns?)

-Teachers should not have a gun in school because it will cause more problem
-addition training to teaching and learn how to shot a gun and protect students.
-Not alwayś accurate.
-Teaching = 1000 hours of training + another 1000 hours of training on using a gun.(over training)
-Confusion on which person starting it and which one is a teach and which one is the one who shoot.People could lie in front of the fully trained law enforcements.

teachers shouldnt have guns

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should be armed but they should take classes on how to actually shoot and aim well and they should only use it when there is actually a shooter and not aiming at their kids. BUt i also think that teachers  shouldn't be armed because that's why schools have security  guards and schools should have like this button that banks have when there is a robbery but a button for a school when there's like a shooter so that way they don't need to use there phones to call and there ain't any noise all you have to do is press the damn button and they should have like a button by there desk and there wouldn't be any noise and the shooter wont be able to hear anything. Schools should also have something in there class that can protect students or put students in like

Donald Trump said that a Police officer wasn't investigating in where the shooting happened because he stayed outside. The lady was addresing was Donald Trump was saying and said that if people hear gunshots then the option would take is to run. And if you have a gun then you have the power to stop a shooting. The Lady's opinion on arming teachers with guns to stop school shootings is that teachers could turn on students. She made a point that teachers have training to be a teacher and that is a lot and they are adding on training to assess a school shooting. An they have to be comfortable with using guns and know what to do in when to engage the shooter. Some students want teachers to be armed with guns because they think they will  be safe

Essential question: How are students protesting for safety and what are the steps  to students safety?
Students in Wisconsin are organizing a 50-mile march to Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) hometown later this month to demand action on gun control.
"We have grown up experiencing school shootings followed by this inaction, and we refuse to let it happen this time,” she said in a press release.
students are willing to waste there own spring break to follow through a protest - 4 days long -  students plan to sleep in high schools.
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/377923-wisconsin-students-to-march-50-miles-to-ryans-hometown-to
There were 464,033 total gun deaths between 1999 and 2013: 270,237 suicides (58.2% of total deaths); 174,773 homicides (37.7%); and 9,983 unintentional deaths (2.2%).  Guns were the leading cause of death by homicide (66.6% of all homicides) and by 🤬 (52.2% of all suicides). Firearms were the 12th leading cause of all deaths. American children under age 15 were nine times more likely to die of a gun accident than children in other advanced wealthy countries… About 200 Americans go to emergency rooms every day with gunshot wounds." guns are causing deaths!
