The Newsela article talks about how different students with conservative  political opinions view gun control. The article talks about how there are many students who believe that gun control would go against people's constitutional right. It also said "  Meanwhile, pro-Second Amendment students have taken advantage of the National Rifle Association’s show discount and signed up for membership." The NRA is the association that funds politicians who don't support gun control. This shows how divided we are. If your someone who identifies more as a republican or a democrat chances are you're gonna  have polar opposite views on gun control. Many republican legislators now oppose any sort of gun control laws and after every mass shooting the same laws are proposed but never seem to pass. In 2021 alone 147 mass shootings have happened and people have lost their lives yet nothing seems to change you see the same condolences and then it's business as usual. After the Parkland shooting many politicians promised change, yet their political alliances got in the way. Gun control is a very political issue and people who lose their lives to mass shootings go in vain because of it. The endless cycle of a mass shooting occurring, politicians promising change, and then the hype dies down until another mass shooting occurs.

The article states, "By the time the walkouts — sometimes called "blowouts" peaked a week later, 22,000 students had stormed out of class. Some delivered passionate speeches. Some clashed with police. Scenes of uprising filled the news." A mass of students deciding to walk out of their classrooms spoke volumes to their schools. Their schools were oppressing their students who were Mexican Americans. They were doing this by providing them with teachers who didn't have the credentials to teach them, are racist, or didn't care about their education/placement in life. These schools felt that it was acceptable to oppress these students because in their mind there is 'no where else' to go for them based on their environment. A lot of these schools are in low income areas where change is something abnormal.  Change has been abnormal for these areas because they have adapted these rules of life that consist of them having to most-likey struggle and try to survive. With these requirements of their surroundings,using their voices, can be dangerous for their lively hood.
So, the students ultimately standing up for their rights to a proper education was a brave and commendable thing to do. By putting their fate in their own hands, they were able to change the system that has taught them to weaken their voices when fighting with the "big dogs."]]> 2021-04-22 13:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/3029465/n79ps0ijja8s3yh/wish/1447253749 3024200 https://padlet.com/3029465/n79ps0ijja8s3yh/wish/1447255655 This article talks about the student protests against gun violence, in Florida. Students are organizing marches and claiming that they won't stop until the government does something to change the gun laws. The article says, "He said the students won't stop fighting until lawmakers finally make serious changes." Seeing their dedication towards these protests, students all around the country have been inspired. They are leaving class for 17 minutes, each minute dedicated to a life lost in Florida. Despite the support from students, not all schools supported these protests. Some teachers claim that they will give the students detention if they continued these walkouts. But is the fear of detention worth risking their lives? The students just don't feel safe in school anymore and if they want to take action and do something about it, nothing is wrong with it. This protest in Florida has turned out to be one of the largest youth protests in decades. I think that more people should support these protests because it is high time the government does something about gun violence. Unless they take action, more innocent lives will be lost.]]> 2021-04-22 13:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/3029465/n79ps0ijja8s3yh/wish/1447255655 3009240 https://padlet.com/3029465/n79ps0ijja8s3yh/wish/1447261188 What are some traumas that the people that have experienced it might have? 

The article "School Shooting Trauma is Hard to Heal For Survivors" talks about the outcome of many school shootings and the effect they had on many people's mental states. Many people who witnessed school shootings and lost friends/classmates experience mental stress and issues. They experience things like severe anxiety, depression, and they often get flashbacks. Not being able to deal with this trauma often leads survivors to suicide. Although suicide is the most common outcome for people who survived school shootings it's not just them who drive themselves to do this, in the article it states "In the weeks and months following the April 20, 1999, Columbine High School shooting, a slain student's mother died by suicide." Many parents can not deal with the guilt of losing their child, dealing with the pain that comes with it can be too overbearing, also making them want to commit. A way for survivors and parents to cope with their trauma is by using The Rebels Project. "The Rebels Project, a non-profit that connects trauma survivors with each other and with professional counseling. The organization is named for the Columbine High School mascot." getting some form help for these experiences they go through, even if it's just a bit can save them from taking their own lives.

• Will changing gun laws affect a shooter's mindset on harming others or will it provide them with more motivation?
• What part do political ideologies (republican, democrat) play when it comes to gun control laws?
• If any gun control laws were to be passed, what do you think they should be?
• If there were more members of the government who were minorities, would it have had an effect on the pace to change gun laws? Or would it slow it down, due to everyone (mostly white people) not trusting minorities judgement?
• When it comes to schools, should gun laws be a requirement to teach to all students for a curriculum?
• How does improving our gun laws protect people in situations that don't have things like secuirty for exmaple, for protection 24/7?
