But this characterizes so many adolescents and young adults and makes it impossible to predict who is going to take murderous action. Mental health is easy to see as the target of root cause and preventative efforts. Instead, we need to establish limiting access to firearms if one is considered a danger to self or others. ]]> 2022-04-26 17:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/23110711/nztgnwvshgc8krn9/wish/2158995669 23110711 https://padlet.com/23110711/nztgnwvshgc8krn9/wish/2159031984 This source presents multiple methods to strengthen gun control in the United States, some more restrictive than others. This article also effectively illustrates through the graphics it contains how each gun control method could have potentially prevented specific shootings, therefore saving the lives lost in these shootings before they were taken. Overall, this article emphasizes how important each of the measures are, with the main goal being to prevent mass shootings from ever happening. ]]> 2022-04-26 18:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/23110711/nztgnwvshgc8krn9/wish/2159031984 2304034 https://padlet.com/23110711/nztgnwvshgc8krn9/wish/2160845870 This article highlights gun control laws in other countries in comparison to the lax gun laws in America.

Additionally, since school shootings have been on the rise in America, nearly every school district in the country has adopted some sort of lockdown drill. However, these drills are no solution, even just practicing the lockdown plans put in place they negatively impact student mental health and increase fear. However, if stricter legislation was made and enforced, school shooting drills would most likely not need to be practiced as frequently.]]> 2022-04-27 18:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/23110711/nztgnwvshgc8krn9/wish/2160877778 2304034 https://padlet.com/23110711/nztgnwvshgc8krn9/wish/2160888924 It is extremely important to look at an argument from all angles and all sides. This article starts off with the pro of gun control - for example  lower firearm fatality rates,  reduce mass shootings, protect vulnerable populations, and reduce suicide rates.

The article goes on to discuss the dangers that accompany this idea and how teachers did not sign up for this when becoming teachers. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/23110711/nztgnwvshgc8krn9/wish/2160899639
