LaPierre (2013) says, “In addition, we need to enforce the thousands of gun laws that are currently on the books” (p. 23) The laws that we…

Imagine if you walked into the classroom tomorrow morning and heard birds chirping. Imagine if you sat down at your desk, prepared to start your day. You wave towards your teacher who just got back from their day off. The teacher stands up and begins to talk about the day's objectives.
