Safety officers should be armed in all schools in order to minimize crime. Many people believe is it completely ludicrous in fact unbelievably insane the fire arms should be kept on school grounds. Allowing for safety guards to have access to using gun power in an elementary school can increase a young mind’s thirst for violence. Under no circumstances should a gun be visible to a child
The media puts this image in children’s heads that there is something fun about having a gun and also that it gives you power and you can control people with it. This is most definitely the wrong message to give out to children, and with gun education in schools students can be taught the practicality of gun use. Similarly to being taught the reality, being taught gun education in schools disappears the glamour surrounding children are exposed to and brings forth the consequences of gun use and abuse. By removing curiosity children have in guns we will see a decrease in the misuse of firearms and media influence as well as stronger boundaries in gun use. Secondly, by having
One thing that might help get the job will be performing really well at the job interview to get the job cause usually there will be someone who will also want the same job your applying for. The reason for the expanding in the career is for the continued interest for public safety and changing the world and getting criminal off the street. Another reason for the career expanding is from the number of loved ones being killed. Some people will get effect from this and they know only one way to help and that joining the force. Like if someone was a kid no more than 14 years old and one day he headed how from school and his finds out his mother was murdered.
They feel that these policies will help in keeping their schools safe and it really has for years. Even with the effort our country makes in gun free policy litigation and legislation is being forced on our colleges and universities to allow concealed firearms on campus. "The states allowing for concealed firearms are Utah, Colorado, Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, Oregon, Kansas and Wisconsin" (Armed Campuses). Statistics show a high percentage of violent crimes are done off school grounds. Parents and students are the voices to keep the firearms off campus we need to be heard and tell our
Staff received identification badges and school doors began to be locked during the day… [and that] the school campus was cut off from the surrounding area by a fence (Shootings 2012).” What they failed to realize is that these security measures will mean almost nothing to a shooter. A door could be easily shot off the hinges and the lock on the door could easily be shot off, and the fence they put up could easily be cut or climbed over. Schools should also make sure to not have a “Gun Free Zone” sign in front of the school, because in most cases the most common places for shootings to occur are in places where there are those signs. This is due to the fact that anyone who is thinking of shooting the school will know that everyone there is defenseless. The shooter will decide to go to the school with the sign rather than the
People who own guns need to keep them put away and out of the reach of children. Parents cannot think that because they taught their children all about guns that it is ok to keep the guns accessible to all. Parents needs to understand themselves how much peer pressure a child gets and what peer pressure will cause someone to do something they knew was wrong, but they still wanted to be in the cool bunch of kids. Or the only way someone will like me is if I pretend to shoot my best friend. So truly it is about the training of guns not the
To prevent school shootings, and other future gun crimes, it is important to help kids with mental problems at a young age. More mental-health counsellors and anti-bullying resources for schools would be a good place to start, because that taking away the American’s right to own a gun is probably not going to happen anytime soon.

Random searches for students should be enforced to make the students aware that they could be caught with a weapon at any time. Teachers having a closer connection to each individual student should make the student feel more of a bond with their superiors making it easier for them to express their problems and issues to prevent any further altercations. All of these factors could be used in the prevention of gun violence in schools. After all of my reading and researching I have a new outlook on the issue of gun control and all of the factors that are involved with it. The statistics are scary, and even more shocking is the reality of the violence just knowing that at anytime and anyplace you can be in the middle of gun violence or even a victim.
Kids should be aware of guns while growing up. I think children should be properly educated on the use of weapons. Toy guns are used for play, they expresses power and emotion. I feel it is important for children with their growing imagination and curiosity, to understand that guns are serious weapons that can protect people from harm and also cause harm to people— wrongfully. Although many people are totally against children playing with an imitation of a deadly weapon, I however feel it is necessary to inform the minds of our future on the proper use of guns, what happens when a gun is misused, and also, how to safely store a registered gun, to prevent it from getting into the wrong hands.
Getting involved with your children and loving them more unconditionally can dilute the madness that can be an offspring of childhood remorse. Growing up in a dynamic generation, setting a foundation where they know the one thing that will not change is self respect can also make a leader out children as well. In conclusion, Houston may be known for a plethora of things, but one things that does not bite come to mind is the issue with bullying being a school safety issue. With the social network famous fight “starring” Sharkeisha, Houston has made a name for itself to be the one to fight back. Even the Mayor Youth Council along with media campaigns have tried to console the issue as well.
