Anti Guns in School

 

We have run this page and message everyday for 5 years to advocate students' safety and protection. We will continue to do so until congress acts to pass gun legislation or gun restrictions that protect students.

​

 

Students Ask:

 

Q: I am back in school now ,but I still feel unsafe. Two shootings just before school opened did not put my mind at ease. What can you say to ease my fears?

 

A: We answered that question for a frighten graduating senior previously. We do not believe anything has changed. Congress refuses to take any action to improve gun safety, or remove the proliferation of guns in society. We have reproduced part of the answer we gave to her below.

 

 

Students should never go to school and be shot. They do not enter school houses to hear bullets whistling through classrooms. No student should ever have to run for his life, step over the body of a friend, or wear home the spattered blood of a shot classmate. Students should not go to school and be worried about dying from gun violence. They go to get an education, not to be victims of a massacre. Mothers are tired of shedding tears, and fathers are tired of trying to hold themselves together while they try to console family members, knowing that a child has been taken in a senseless school shooting. Students want adults to stop the madness of school shootings. Students don't need another speech. Because of speeches, and no action, some parents will never again feel the embrace of their child. Being shot at an educational institution should not be the price of admission to high school. Children should not have to worry about their safety at a school. They come to learn, not to die.

 

Some politicians say school shootings are the results of persons with mental illness. Tomorrow, they will say they are studying the situation , and in a week, they will say nothing at all, it will be forgotten and the status quo will return. In short, nothing will be done until the next shooting, and the next mental illness excuse will be re-echoed in the halls of Congress. In reality, mental illness is not the problem. Guns are the problem. Gun proliferation, easy gun access, gun culture, no meaningful gun back ground regulation, lack of effective gun control , and lobbyist money for some politicians is the problem.

 

You ask what could be done?. There are several things that can be done to impact the problem and save the lives of students. However, we must warn you, although we can suggest workable, effective solutions that will reduce gun violence, it will not be done by politicians in Washington. Some are in bed with the gun lobby, gun manufacturers, and gun advocates of business. Nothing will be done with the present members of Congress, but here are some suggestions to answer your question, "what can be done"? These things can be done when the present bed partners of the gun lobby are voted out of office:
