Gun control is a very controversial issue, especially when it comes to the subject of guns in schools. Many people believe that allowing teachers or anyone over the age of 21 to carry a gun onto a college campus is perfectly reasonable. They believe that it allows for protection of oneself and self-defense of others. Other people believe that guns should not be allowed in schools at all. They believe that it would end badly for everyone involved. I am one of the latter.

If the teacher carries a gun in, what is to stop a student from taking the gun and using it? The answer is nothing. My second point on the guns in colleges is training. Just because someone is allowed to carry a gun doesn't necessarily mean that they know how to utilize it properly. I know of many people that own guns but have never even shot one.

If you shoot a gun you need to be prepared for the recoil, know how to aim, the proper stance, and milieu of other items of knowledge. An amateur carrying gun doesn't know this. A teacher who has a gun but never shot the gun is just as likely to
