Solutions to Gun Violence in Schools

As discussed before in previous blogs, the problem of gun violence in schools has many causes and impacts on our society. And it has also been discussed how this problem is a very complex one and how its causes interact with each other to result in the formation of an attacker. It is now time to discuss and criticize some solutions for the problem at hand. Right now there is a huge amount of “gun control” laws in the country. I believe it is pretty obvious that the only thing that these laws have done is make it easier for criminals to commit their acts of violence on a helpless citizen. Once again I am proposing that gun violence in schools needs to be looked at in a whole different way. The way gun violence in schools and the public’s perception of guns portrayed by the media needs to stop immediately. I know that this is something that will not happen over night, it is something that needs a lot of attention and a lot of years to bring about the change that we are looking for. We need to construct a plan of action and implement it in way that helps us achieve this change is shortest amount of time. So lets start with education, as you may see, the schooling system concentrates on the sex related subjects all the time. Kids learn how to put a condom on before they learn their ABC's. Apparently this has really helped decreasing the number of uncontrolled pregnancy. We can use this method with gun violence as well. Along with teaching kids about putting condoms on we can include some info about guns and their harms. Kids need to be taught that guns are “tools” and should remain like that no matter what.

Once the youth of this community are in the right mind about guns and gun violence we can then more forward and become a step closer to stopping gun violence. All the BS and spin that the media and politicians feed us and force us to believe will no longer be accounted. This helps move to the next step in our plan which is “crime control,” this term is different from gun control. Crime control refers to trained personals with guns that work to stop or limit gun violence. Gun control is pointless because there is no way of ever stopping someone from getting a gun if they truly want one. But with crime control it is possible to train a number of people and have them handle any kind of gun violence incidents. People might argue that these trained persona's might misuse their firearms and use other incidents to support their claim. But think of it this way, crime control is pretty much the purest from of gun control.  Any solutions will have a down side to them some we might be able to solve and others might need more complicated solutions. This is why gun violence is such a complicated problem. Finally, if we think about, the police did not take very long to arrive during the incidents of Sandy Hook, and Virginia Tech. If one person was armed how many kids and college students lives would have been spared and saved. “When seconds count, the Police are but minutes away.”
