Allowing guns to be in schools to use as protection against
intruders.
This affects families and our society because if this is implemented
it could protect the people of our society. I will also cause a lot of
controversy for the people who want this enforced and the people who are
against it.
As intense and outrages this plan to bring guns into schools
seems, at what point do we agree that more protection is needed. Since the many
shootings and violent attacks that have taken place, I believe we do need more
protection. Schools have more and more frequently been targeted for violence
making it a huge issue. I am skeptical of whether it is completely safe that there
be weapons so close to children but feel that they are already unsafe. Learning
that they are planning to put a fingerprint recognition would make it incredibly
hard for someone to obtain these weapons, especially a student. It may seem
drastic but might eventually save the lives of many. Just knowing that there is
some sort of protection will prevent people from wanting to attack. It will
hopefully bring a sense of security for the children as well as faculty
members. Hopefully the school resource officer will have thorough background
checks to have this privilege and is trustworthy. It is unfortunate that we
have been brought to these measures but I agree that it must change. To think
that people used to keep their doors unlocked all the time and we had so much
more trust is not comforting. Our country continues to keep getting more and
more violent and we keep getting more and more scared for our safety. The
degree we have come to to protect ourselves is unfortunate and limits us to a
great deal.
