should

not be allowed

to carry guns

April 26, 2014
After recent mass shootings
pro-gun advocates wanted
to arm teachers.
Arming teachers can do
more harm than prevent it.
Reasons to not
arm teachers
The Federal
Government should be
able to ban guns in
schools
Provide legislation that allows
states to make laws to protect
children.
Second Amendment should be
respected.
State and local enforcement of
laws.
The Harms that occur
should teachers be
armed:
Arming teachers could be more
fatal
Schools lack the fund to help
troubled students
Children could get caught in
the crossfire and cause more
fatalities
Arming Teachers
could be more fatal:
Schools lack funds to
protect trouble students
Bindley argues that schools need
more funds to provide students
with psychological problems and
help them.
Teachers says that focusing on
guns ignores the fact that some
students need psychological
help.
Inherency:
Second Amendment
Congress will not act on gun
control
Citizens will not give up their
rights.
The Plan to stop
shootings at our
schools:
Agency: Federal, state, and local governments
Mandates:
Congress should pass laws that allows states to have their own
gun control policies.
Congress to set types of guns allowed for public use.
Must have database of people unfit to acquire guns.
State lawmakers to set regulations
Local enforcement to provide training for teachers for such
emergencies.
Enforcement:
Fines and incarceration with increasing penalties on violation of
the law
Funding:
Normal means and the NRA should provide the funds for
training and the funds to provide help to students.
Timeline:
Immediately
Solvency:
Harm 1: Less guns
could save more guns
Prohibiting guns on
campus could
prevent students
harming themselves.
With proper training,
teachers could act
accordingly in an
emergency
Harm 2: Taxing gun
owners and NRA
Taxes can be
use to provide
the help needed
to students
State and local
taxes can
provide teacher
training
Advantages:
Stricter laws will make it more difficult to
any individual to obtain guns.
Supporters of the NRA and such
organization will pay taxes that can
provide training and help to the ones
that need it.
Non-gun owners will not pay taxes to
provide these services.
Conclusion:
Gun violence might not be
stopped but it can be minimized
by implementing stricter laws
and we need to protect our
children from access to guns in
school.
