Gun control has been an issue for as long as I can remember. Whether or not to make guns easier to get, harder to get, ban them altogether, or have everyone that can allow them to carry them. In today’s society there have been many occurrences of shootings in public places, for instance college campuses. One reason killings happen is because some people can’t carry a gun or they just don’t and therefore not able to defend themselves. Another reason is because people that are doing the killing have guns and use them for crimes of many natures. In some cases peace officers aren’t able to get to the scene of a person wielding a gun fast enough to prevent anything from happening. Karen Johnson a senator from
Karen Johnson’s motivation is that of protection of the people, and I agree with her. I think people should be able to carry a gun on campus not only to protect others from possible rogue gunmen but to protect their self as well. There are more situations than just stressed out students going on a killing spree, such as any crime that someone is felt threatened by a criminal with a knife or gun.

Stock Issue 1:
There is a problem with gun control and who is doing the controlling of guns. Criminals have guns and we don’t, if we have guns as well then it’s an even field.
Stock Issue 2:
The proposed solution could solve the problem but it’s the reaction of the people is what the deciding factor. Will we be terrified of guns if everyone else has them? Will we feel safer if we do have one? If people are responsible enough then everything will be fine. People drive everyday and get upset and stressed out cars can kill people and yet we don’t.
Stock Issue 3:
The issue could be solved easier I think without disturbing the status quo if there were a lot more peace officers on the streets, campuses and highways. When buying any firearm the process could be more involved, such as a mental evaluation, full background check with references from multiple people.
Stock Issue 4:
I think that the solution really could be practical and be enacted as well. Not only do people already own handguns (firearms) but they have for a long time. Not everyone has to have a concealed handgun license if going through a more thorough process. If selling a gun then it should have a title like a car that has to be registered.
Sock Issue 5:
Starting off the negatives would be that this would become the Wild Wild West and everyone will be doing showdowns in the hallways. Positives would be that everyone is aware of the guns people are carrying with them and it acts as prevention and in extreme cases a defense/offense.
