A child, or a parent of a child, should not have to worry about their child getting to and from school safely. Children should be able to get to and from school safely, no exceptions. With all of the horrific acts of violence going on in schools, there should be stricter laws applying to firearms. ]]> 2018-06-12 16:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/266864823 gray211on https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267049433 But Firearms mean my freedom!

Therefore, lets give teachers guns! That will solve the problem!]]> 2018-06-15 15:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267386739 gray211on https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267386954 Actually, we wouldn’t be taking your freedom. We would be giving freedom to all the students that could still lose their lives in a horrific act of violence. I am not suggesting that all guns go away. I actually like the idea of being able to hunt for my own food, but I feel as though stricter rules could be applied; such as rigorous background checks to ensure that you are not mentally unstable, or that a mentally unstable person could not get their hands on the weapon, and to have a test like a drivers ed class, where if you fail, you don't get the gun. I do not believe that we need to take away any specific firearms, because firearms are not the problem, it’s the people who can get their hands on the firearms who do bad. I also believe that we as a country could be taking mass shootings with more solemnity, because the death of fellow people is NOT a joke. You, or your kid, could be the next victim of a school shooter. Think about that…]]> 2018-06-15 15:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267386954 gray211on https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267387279 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/14/us/school-walkout.html]]> 2018-06-15 15:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267387279 gray211on https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267387429 Giving firearms to untrained teachers is a good idea how? If anything, it will be endangering the students more, because there is a chance that the weapon will go off, or a teacher will overact and fire upon a student. Furthermore, the amount of training that you need to be able to fire a weapon in an enclosed public space is huge. The "training" that these teachers get is a 3 hour class on how to aim and pull the trigger. The number of hours that you need to fire a weapon in an enclose public space, is 900 hours. See the difference yet? If you don't, think on this: would you trust your kid to drive your brand new, expensive car the day he turns 15 1/2?]]> 2018-06-15 15:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267387429 gray211on https://padlet.com/gray211on/gray211on/wish/267392251 “I could’ve gone on and on but the truth was all that mattered.

“We bumped into other silent lines of kids going in the same direction. We looked like we were much younger and our lines were headed to the cafeteria or recess or the carpool line. Or it could’ve been a fire drill. Except for the stone-faced police officers weaving between us with rifles.”
