Jamie O’Meara’s Idea is that for children to lose interest in using guns there should be gun education as part of the school’s curriculum. He believes not only that it will remove the mystery but teach children to be responsible with guns. With that, gun education in schools is an idea which needs support. Teaching gun education will remove the curiosity and glamour of guns, cut down on accidental injuries and deaths, and promotes the idea of a gun being a tool and not a weapon. Firstly, exposing children to guns and gun education will take away from the curiosity they might have later in life that would have led to an issue or incident.
When carrying a gun, you will better be able to protect yourself and your family and you might even be able to scare away the criminals or attackers just because you have a gun at home. Although, there are also disadvantages of owning a gun that all people needs to be aware of. First of all, having a gun at home can increase the risk for accidents inside the home. If you have a child, it is possible that they will get a hold of the gun. Since children do not understand the risks with guns, they might haphazardly shoot a friend or a sibling, thinking that that they are playing.
Guns are interesting toys so that kids will find gun around and will play with them. For a depressed teens convenient access to a gun may make it easier for them to commit suicide when they think they cannot do anything else or life no longer has any meaning to them. Can you imagine children bringing guns to school so they can play with them? If it becomes true, it will kill the future of country. Children are the hope of the future, and how the country grown if children know only bad things?
Would allowing teachers to carry firearms make them feel safe and secure while teaching in our schools? This is a question I’m sure does not have an easy answer or solution. I don’t believe that a teacher carrying a firearm is the best approach to take on this matter. Our schools is a place where students come to learn and grow, a place where teachers provide them with these tools. If we provide teachers with firearms, what message are we sending to them and our students?
However, thinking a gun in the hands of an “octogenarian” makes them safe is fooling themselves. The gun does not make them equal to the “gang banger,” it makes them more likely to get shot, because once again the “gang banger” has no qualms about using the gun. Consequently, the “octogenarian” is at a disadvantage as they try to become the police and prevent a

Because of the legal limitations on guns, people can become discouraged from owning a gun, children are kept safe from gun violence and the chance of homicide or fatal accidents with a firearm are lessened. When legal limitations are put on firearms, it makes people feel that guns are unnecessary to own. Gun control laws help protect our children and teenagers from pointless violence that could lead to death or serious injury. The regulations put in place will in turn lessen the amount of homicides and fatal accidents. Now, think back to that horrible scenario, with limitations put on guns, hopefully no one will have to experience that tragic
This is because, if you put more resources in one place, it will dispose of some of the crime. There would be rules though, such as signs and warnings like “Students are armed”, if it’s a school. A person who is against guns could say that the streets would become a more dangerous place, and more frightening. In reality, it would become a safer place. Since everyone has a gun, a criminal is less likely to attack anyone in public.
Some believe that children who go on shooting rampages should be tried as an adult. Other solution proponents proposed were new technology devices such as trigger locks and personalized guns. Opponents of gun control in schools believe that stricter laws and regulations are unnecessary. They believe that children will commit crimes regardless if they have a gun or not. They say that “it’s not the gun that pulls the trigger, but the person behind the gun that does.” If a child cannot use a gun, then he will use a knife or any other GUN CONTROL AND PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICANS 13 Weapon.
There are some gun activists and concerned parents who believe that teachers and school administrators with gun licenses should be allowed to carry guns in schools. They claim that this could provide a first line of defense in the case of an emergency. Also, they argue that not allowing guns in school makes the school an easier target. Dr. Patrick Jonston states, “Criminals prefer a disarmed population. Defenseless people are easier to victimize.
