School Shooting

When placed in the hands of the wrong person, a gun can cause horrific damage. Each branch of thelocal and federal government and the general public talk about limiting access to guns based on age, legal records or mental illness, still guns end up in the wrong hands due to irresponsible gun owners and current law.

The guns are accessible to people who cannot be trusted to use the weapon for its intended legal purpose or appreciate the danger.Too often innocence is lost when the firearm ends-up in one of our local schools. That is unacceptable, we should feel secure sending our children to school.

The website Everytown For Gun Safety indicates that each day 96 people are killed with guns, of that number, an average of 7 kids and teens killed by gun violence. That number is startling in and of itself, but it is heartbreaking when you look at school shooting statistics from 2018. The first 5 months of this year year have seen our local schools become more deadly than a warzone, with 26 children and adults shot and killed, only 13 members of the military were killed in battle during the same period. These children and teachers did not sign-up for war.
