A Matter of Safety: School Shootings

Victoria Soto is a 27-year-old teacher who is courageous but not armed, tells Sandy Hook elementary school gunman that he is in the gym in front of her, and there is no way to protect himself, after hiding the students. It was killed. Suppose the "gun banned area" is not limited to schools. In the shooting at the Aurora Theater in Colorado last year, 12 people were killed and many others were injured. Some people think that they are aiming for a specific theater closest to his family, especially because there is no different gun policy from the others in the area, and movie spectators are not armed I know.

According to Michael Bloomberg's gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety, the shooting at this school was number 18. This means that one average school and one school opened so far this year so far. Fortunately, most of them are not fatal. Shot is coincidence. Unfortunately, they continue to happen at this rate, we have not even heard of much of them

Since I can not even protect children's safety in the first place, I feel sick. We are one month and a half in 2018. This is the eighth school shoot that caused the casualties and the second large shot of the week. Politicians send their absurd cliches and keep on working as usual. We will have the same conversation after each major shoot ... wait a moment. This is not a fact. Shooting at school is currently very common in this country, with little media coverage. That is an explanation. This has become commonplace for us - the idea that children go to school may never really go home.

Of course, all the gunfire at school seems to happen to black men who are not armed, but is our child safe at home? Children should be safe wherever they are. So then why do not you protect our children from home? We have always said that it started at home, but we did not take any measures to protect our children at home. The incident of killing the death of a child at school is a terrible and tragic thing, not because the children in the hands of the mother have lost them as badly miserable.
