School Shootings and
Gun Violence
There have been many school shootings since 2000. The most recent one has been the Sandy Hook
shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. School
shootings affect people who experienced them, and the people close to the
victims greatly, just like Caitlin and her dad, Harry. “I thought we were all gonna die,” says
Kaitlin Roig, a teacher at Sandy Hook elementary, in an interview, fighting
back tears. Many people like her were
scarred, and the fear and pain they experienced will never leave them. One student even said in an interview that
she was scared to go to school now. It’s
horrible to think that somebody can have the heart to kill innocent students;
it’s absolutely sick.
Gun violence is now the center of attention. Should we stay true to our constitution and keep
the right to bear arms, or should we take away that right to reduce the loss of
lives each year.
Guns are there to protect us, some people say. Others say they’re evil. Guns can be used for self-defense so, there’s
a plus. But then again guns can be used
to inflict pain and death. Really, we
shouldn’t go against our constitution and we shouldn’t allow for so many lives
to be lost due to gun violence. People
who are for guns are saying they need guns to feel safe. The National Rifle Association is fighting to
keep guns. But is there really a need to
keep guns that are specialized to go through
police vests?
Is there a way to keep guns so that we won’t go against our
constitution and reduce gun violence at the same time? Perhaps there is, but to me, the best way to
save people is to completely eradicate guns.
