The allowance of guns to be concealed by students and professors on public campuses can cloud the campus officers’ duties during these chaotic times, potentially cause mislead shots. Every college campus employees certified and trained security to protect their campus. For instance, if a largely debated rally was to be held in an open college court yard, then campus security would have previously notified, but while this controversial meeting is being held, passionate advocates get too passionate and an altercation occurs. With many students and possibly outside students in an open area, shots can be fired by non certified parties. The act of fired shots in a mix of chaos leads to confusion for the on staff security.
If the game continues at Mile High, what suggestions would you provide? Discussion issues include: • the consumption of alcohol; • the amount of time between permitted tailgating and game time; • the amount of responsibility given to each of the schools regarding fan control issues; • the location of locker rooms; • pre-game information/warnings about unacceptable behavior; • etc. 3. Do you think that the fact that the fans who were originally targeted by police were college students as opposed to a “traditional adult population” factored into the action taken by the police? It’s hard to say for sure what was on the mind of the police.
Also it has been observed that the issue of concealed carry has gained national importance as we have the issue being debated in the congress even in the legislature if it is the right way to follow in trying to deal with the attacks and crimes within the college campuses. This clearly shows the magnitude of the issue and that it is of importance in terms of personal security because the government as much as it tries cannot provide security to every person all the time (Bradley, 6). Recently, it has been observed that there is an increase in college attacks and as a security measure some have suggested that professors and students in these campuses be allowed to carry concealed weapons so as to be able to defend themselves in instances of attack. But it has been observed that in most
Jeremy De La Cruz Pre AP English 2B Mrs. Brogan 23 April 2013 Word Count: 500 Will Gun Laws Stop Future School Shootings? The saying “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” has always been said. With recent school shootings, many people are wondering if gun laws will prevent future shootings. Gun laws will only keep guns out of the hands of bystanders who could stop the shooting, and allow criminals to easily kill innocent children. Gun laws pertaining to schools prevent people from saving more lives and stopping shootings in the making.
Due to the recent upheaval of violent crimes on campus, many pro-gun activist have suggested that both the students and teachers should be allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus. Those for this may claim that their rights have been violated because many college campuses refuse to allow weapons of any kind on campus. It is not the right to carry a gun which is in debate here, but rather it is whether or not guns should be allowed on a college campus. The Constitution of The United States of America already grants citizens the right to carry guns, and being in the south, I am by far no stranger to seeing a gun from time-to-time, but it is not appropriate for guns to be in a vulnerable area such as a college campus. There are already too many guns available to the public, and allowing them on an educational facility would greatly increase the likelihood of injury or death.
put too much restrictions on guns and the whole NRA will be in a uproar, put too little, and guns will find their way into the wrong hands. many people can agree that at least some restrictions on guns need to be in place. In a survey taken by teenagers in Churchville Chili high school, over 50 percent of the students agreed that the government should institute stricter gun control. However, over 75 percent of students agreed that at least someone has to have guns (Gmitter 2013). This shows that even teenagers understand that there is a balance that needs to be achieved in gun control.
They government is emphasizing more on the fully automatic weapons, explosives, armor and other things that only the military should have access to. Some people do not see that the violence taking place in the U.S. has to do with the access to guns and the mental health of the individual. The people who are victims to some of the most recent shootings should speak up and tell others why we need to make obtaining these types of weapons much more difficult. Many individuals choose what they want to see, hear and believe, as in seeing the massacres happen and believing the government is taking their right away and not letting them have what they have the right to have, which is “the right to bear arms.” Most citizens do not see that making further background checks and regulation on the amount of ammunition that is
Fights in schools happen all the time, but usually the worst of it is a couple punches thrown. What would happen if those students had guns because they were allowed to? I just don’t see the thinking in why people would allow something like that to happen. I understand why people would want to protect themselves on campus because of those school shootings but wouldn’t the better idea be to prevent another one from happening such as making stricter laws on
If an intruder were to break in, and you're without a gun you're defenseless. Reenact the break-in with a gun in your hands, and watch the intruder run. Guns help intimidate and protect when law enforcement can't reach the incident in time. If any laws against guns were made, don't outlaw them because regardless guns can be obtained and used incorrectly. Instead, set restrictions and require a certain level of gun safety knowledge taught in a school based on the idea of self defense.
The National Rifle Association of America is an American nonprofit organization that advocates for gun rights. The advocates for reducing gun violence fail by focusing on fighting the NRA instead of winning over the public with specific proposals. In a recent article published by Brandon E. Patterson, two of the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School appeared on Fox News Sunday to lay out what they wanted to accomplish with the Washington DC protest against gun violence and arguing for stricter gun laws. Stated in the article, “Fox’s Chris Wallace asked Kasky (one of the students) to respond to a clip of one of his classmates seemingly accusing supporters of the march of wanted to take guns away from law-abiding gun owners during an interview.” Kasky also said, “The NRA wanted people to think that. They’re fear mongers.
