One problem in schools the last decade is the lack of security. The increasing amount of shootings and violence within schools causes students to feel unsafe and puts them directly in danger. Additionally, this affects their achievement in school which could potentially impact their future. There have been many attempts at preventing shootings and violence, but it still continues all around the country. Scholars agree that there should be more security in schools, but some disagree about…

Gun Control and the Second Amendment According to Schulman (1991), the text of the Second Amendment of the US Constitutions reads as follows: “a correctly structured militia, for purposes of state security; the right of the citizens to have and to carry arms shall not be challenged.” This is a paraphrased version of what is contained in the original constitutional document.

OWNERSHIP OF ASSAULT WEAPONS BE BANNED? Do you own a personal Rifle?. I feel that personal rifles should be banned by the government and no longer be sold to anyone. Personal ownership of assault weapons can be dangerous when placed in the wrong hands. They should also be banned because it’s increases day by day spreading like a disease across the world.
