Greetings everyone,
I hope you all had a marvelous break; hence, we are back active as it relates to our “BLOOGGING”, welcome back!!!!!!
On Saturday January 25, 2014 there was yet another mass shooting involving innocent victims. The mother of the U.S Maryland mall shooter described her son as ‘gentle person,’ but this offer no explanation or comfort to the victims or families that were impacted by this tragedy. The shooting that killed two people Brianna Benlolo, 21, and Tyler Johnson, 25 inside the Mall in Columbia stunned the community, especially those close to the accused gunman, 19-year-old Darion Marcus Aguilar. The teen's mother and a family friend said Aguilar, who had no criminal history, never showed any signs of violent behavior before the deadly shooting.
1. Do you believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States of America? Why or why not?
2. What should legislators do to deter or decrease the gun violence that is transpiring almost on a daily basis; in other words are they doing enough to prevent mass shootings in public area i.e., school, malls, movie theater etc. and if not what would you all propose?
1. Yes, public shootings are becoming more rampant, in the United States. I say that because it seems like we're hearing about them more and more.
ReplyDelete2. To stop violence in public place, I would have very skilled, and trained police officers in highly populated places. This could be expensive, but I belive could lower the public shootings.
I agree with Jessie, public places are becoming more rampant but because technology has it made it possible for us to know what’s going on every second.
DeleteI agree with christian , public shootings are becoming more rampant, i beleive that because thats all i hear in the news.
DeleteI do agree with Jessie that public shooting are becoming more rampant in the United States. I really do not think that there is many things that we can do to prevent these type of shootings because we can not always look at every single person and search every single person because it would take too much time. We do need more security or even officers in these public places probably walking around the area to just make sure people know that there is security everywhere.
DeleteYes, I also agree that shooting are becoming more rampant because we hear about them everyday. I also agree that we need to have more police to secure public places so society can be safe.
DeleteI agree with Jesse we need to have police officers in highly populated areas such as malls, theaters, parks, etc. It would cost money but it's be the best thing to do when it comes to protecting people. I beleive we are hearing more about them; therefore more poeple consider doing such a thing.
DeleteI agree with Jessie as well, there has been indeed continuous criminal reports of public shooting. I agree with the extra security to prevent these incidents, however, not all public places have tremendous amount of money to afford such skilled officers, but what those low budget public places can do is to have more precaution and always check the property of the people coming in the buildings. Because even the nicest looking people can be the most dangerous ones.
DeleteI agree with you Jessie. The mass shootings are happening alot more. I also think that people see it happening more so they think they can do it to. I also think having more highly trained police officers will be a good thing. He's right, of course it's going to be expensive but it'll be safer and hopefully give people peace.
DeleteI agree with you, Jessie. They should definitely hire more trained officers that can or at least try to stop these massive shootings that are taking over the world. Yes, it might be expensive but I think it will help a lot on reducing massive shootings.
DeleteFor question 1, I do believe that public mass shootings are becoming more rampant in The United States. I cannot really say why they are having all these massive shootings. Most of these people that are doing the shootings are most likely to be going through something or have something against someone. For question 2, public places should have more security in all public places, maybe even officers. People should not have to fear for their lives when they go to school, the mall, grocery shopping or anything.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you justice more and more rampant are going on and public place should hire more security guards for protections
DeleteI do agree with Justice that public shooting are becoming more rampant in the United States. I really do not think that there is many things that we can do to prevent these type of shootings because we can not always look at every single person and search every single person because it would take too much time. We do need more security or even officers in these public places probably walking around the area to just make sure people know that there is security everywhere.
DeleteIn a way i do agree with you all, but i would not enjoy being observed as i walk through the public places.its bad enough that from past experience I walk through some stores and as I look behind me there is someone behind me lurking.It's a great idea don't get me wrong but i believe that it would bring lots of controversy.
DeleteI strongly agree that public places are being targeted for there large amounts of people. This is because the victim has been targeted by many people in his/her life to were her/he feels the need to target as many people as they can then when he/she comes to a realization of what has occured, they normally lean toward sucide as there out cry.
ReplyDeleteAs far as preventing the outbreaks, we need more guards/officers in these places with a no weapon policy strictly in force. But even with having numerous amounts of possible safety procedures for the innocent the suspect will not stop until they have accomplished there
action plan.The best possible solution is to catch the disease when it starts, if signs are starting to show enroll them into a behavioral/cognitive psychological office to wear they can recieve treatment.
I strongly agree with your opinion with catching the disease before its starts but then again is there always going to be a sign to this. I love how your trying to not make all of this public places and amusements not look like prisons by providing stricter gun policies. If there are numerous amounts of possibilities then we can stop the suspect before he makes it to his goal or target.
DeleteI agree with you on monitoring people more closely. We also need to implement stricter gun policies and stricter laws. By doing this people will think twice before they commit a tragedy like a mass shooting.
Delete1. i Believe that public shootings are increasing in the unitedstates. Most of the people causing this shootings are eather crazy or have anger inside them for whatever reason and want to release that anger on innocent people.2 Public places such as malls should have more security so crazy stuff like shootings wont happen.Innocent people should not live in fear ,they shoud be calm and not live in fear and keep doing whatever their doing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the idea that there should be more security so people won't live in fear to even leave their homes. However, I partly disagree with the idea that the people are crazy. They don't necessarily have to be crazy to commit a crime, they can be regular people living in our community.
DeleteI agree that we should have more security in public areas at all times. I've noticed that whenever I go to the mall, I only see about 2 or 3 security officers and I don't think that is enough. Public security needs to be enforced more so more innocent lives will not be taken away.
DeleteYes, public shootings are increasing & I do agree with you that public places such as malls theatres etc. Should have more security.
DeleteIndeed, we should try to get more security so we can try to stop the massive shootings that are slowly taking over the world. Maybe if we try a little bit more we will see that having more security will help a lot.
Delete1. Yes I do believe mass public shootings are becoming more rampant. Mass shooting have always been around but it has become more of an easy access to know about them. Here is a link to the worst mass shootings in the U.S. http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/16/us/rampage-killings-fast-facts/index.html?iref=allsearch
ReplyDelete1. Yes, i do believe that mass shootings are becoming more and more common in this world. Its something you cant necesarily explain. 2. i honestly dont think legislators are doing well enough to prevent these certain situations; i would put much more security in public places and many more medal detecters for the protection of this nation.
ReplyDeleteIndeed you are right Rico, there is no action being made for more protection for the people of the United States looks like we have to take that responsibility in our hands. To protect our young ones from harmful people.
DeleteI do believe that public shootings are becoming rampant in the United States. There are more people committing crimes like this every day. This is sad because you are not safe in any place. You never really know who’s around you. I think that the legislators should push more the no gun law. Because they want to prevent people from committing more crimes. I believe that no matter how hard they try to take guns from everyone, there will always be someone that will find a way to get one. The problem is not the GUNS; the real problem is the people. I propose that every person that wants a gun should take a mental class to see if they have a problem.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Cindy, people who buy guns must be extensively looked at to make sure they’re mentally stable. And you are also correct about anyone being able to get their hands on a weapon. A lot of people buy their weapons in the black market. People bring ammunitions that are not only illegal but harmful for the community, and they sell them.
DeleteI agree with you Cindy, people shouldn't have any deadly weapon unless they have the rights to have a gun. If the laws do no gun law it would be less crime.
DeleteI also agree with you Cindy people shouldn’t be allowed to have the right to bare arms unless the age requirement is met so the ones who want hurt will have to wait. No gun may equal a chance of evening out crime.
DeleteI too agree with you Cindy, since most of the suspects who comitted a crime like this previous one at the mall. It was proven that they were crazy people who needed help. This way our community will be a lot better.
DeleteAs for me I also agree with you Cindy, whom ever wants to own their personal gun has to have an official up to date mental examination. As well as has to attend to target practice for up to three days per week for six months.
Delete1. Yes, I do believe that mass shootings in the United States are increasing. We are hearing so many different crimes happening every day.
ReplyDelete2. I think legislators should be more cautious and observing to prevent these crimes from happening. They obviously aren't doing enough because there the amount of crimes keep increasing. I suggest they have better security in public places. The more security in an area, the less likely there is to be a crime. I would also suggest more police or even metal detectors in certain areas such as the theatre, mall or school.
I agree. With these crimes increasing, there should be an increase also in weapon restrictions and were weapons can and can't carry weapons. More security should be enforced and the public should be more aware on who gets the weapons and for what reason.
DeleteI agree with you that they should increase the security in public places. They should put metal detectors in all public places, and the government should start hiring more police officers even if it means using more money.
DeleteYes, I totally agree with you thay the legislators aren't doing good enough on public safety.
DeleteYour right about the more security less crime thing. And i agree with putting metal detectors in malls.
DeleteJackie I totaly agree, with more security around us everyday we will feel a lot safer. As well as there being less chances of innocent peopls lives taken away. The world would be a safer place if there were more security.
DeleteI do believe that shooting in the United States are becoming a huge problem. I’ve come to this conclusion because in the past few years there has been a heavy inflow of devastating shootings that have occurred in schools, malls, and other public areas. I do not think they are doing enough to prevent things like this from happening. I mean anyone can go buy a gun. I think that by doing extensive background and psychological research on a person before handing them a gun would help reduce gun violations. I also think that since many of the criminals are young men and women who take the guns from their parents there should be some sort of regulation that says parents have to keep their arms in a secured, isolated facility. I propose that the parents keep their guns in a locked place instead of their closet where their kids have easy access to it.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you Juanita. I don't understand how easy it is to buy a gun that can soon be the deadly weapon used in a public shooting. I personally believe that just having a license to a gun is enough. It's actually the least that they can do. I agree that they need to go into depth with this like doing the whole background checks, psychological tests, etc.
DeleteI agree. Not enough is being done and there should be more done about this. Security in public places,( like the mall, theathers, major stores) should be enforced. The public should also be aware about the increase in these crimes and should be more precatious. Things need to start happening to decrease these actions.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Juanita. The mass shootings have become a huge problem in the United States. These suspects are targeting the public because of the large population. I also agree with you and do not believe that they are doing enough from preventing the shootings. They should be more strict about who buys the gun and from where because nowadays people are able to purchase a gun almost anywhere.
Delete1. Wow. It's almost sad to say that these public shootings are becoming an everyday thing. I remember being really shocked when I would hear something happened in a school, store, etc. that involved a shooting. Now it's not even that much of a shocker. We're, unfortunately, getting use to these kinds of events.
ReplyDelete2. I do believe legislators are trying their best to at least try to prevent these kinds of things. I say it all falls back onto the gun control subject. There's really no reason for someone to have an automatic weapon. It would suck if they had to start putting metal detectors around every public place we go to just because of these shootings. Hopefully we never have to go to that extreme.
I agree with you on the part that it’s very sad that we are now getting so used to these kinds of tragedies because we should never be comfortable around this kind of thing. But I must say that I disagree with you that we should not carry guns, but there should be stricter restrictions when buying a gun. That way no dangerous person gets a hold of a weapon.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Anaruth, it is very sad the fact that these mass shootings are becoming an everyday thing. The legislators should be more strict because these guns are in the hands of criminals. Nowadays people are able to get a gun from anywhere. We should not be living in fear.
Delete1.Yes, i belive that mass shootings are occuring more in the schools due to lack of security at the entrances.
ReplyDelete2.There should be more security at the schools, more gun restrictions, signs that show that no weapons are allowed in this area. I believe there isnt a lot being done with gun regulations and there should be more done about these actions.
I agree I do think we should have more control on gun regulations and put a stop of having people who do not really need guns from buying them.
DeleteI certainly do think the shootings that are happening now are becoming more rampant in the USA. Why? Well honestly I think that is beginning to become more dangerous for everyone in the US. As the days pass the more you hear about tragedies that happen all over the social media. It’s now becoming a daily basis where a crime happens every single day at least every hour. It’s really sad because now we have to go around frightened and be extra careful on who we now talk to and interact with. The legislators should do more on protecting our community because obviously nothing seems to prevent the suspects from doing a crime or any kind of offense. Personally I would hire more police officers to go around and metal detectors such as the mall, theaters, hospitals just to keep everyone more secure. Sure it may cost more money but it’s the best decision for everyone else.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Angelica, as the weeks, days, nights that pass becomes more dangerous for the people. In fact, like what you purposed that we need to be careful who we talk, and interact with. I also agree with the legislators should focus more on protecting this nation.
DeleteI do believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States of America because more and more are happening all over the country frequently. There’s really not a day that goes by without a shooting occurring, and a lot are becoming mass public shootings. I don’t think legislators are doing enough to prevent mass shootings in public areas because they continue to happen. I think security should be upgraded everywhere including metal detectors. Even if going through a metal detector at public areas could get annoying, it’s all worth it at the end.
ReplyDeleteI agree I think we should have more security even though it would be a pain it is for the good of the public safety. Security would not be a problem if the people doing the protecting actually did their job and not get corrupted.
Delete1. Yes because there is almost a shooting everyday people are getting injured and killed.
ReplyDelete2. I propose that they should check peoples background extra good when they are going to buy a weapon.
I agree, but this 19 year old had no criminal record and he still had a weapon. Regardless of whoever buys a weapon they shouldn't have an automatic weapon. There is no need to "protect yourself" with an automatic weapon. Also how is a simple background check going to determine if they will ever go on a rampage and start shooting people just because they feel like it?
Delete1. Yes, I do believe that mass shooting has been increasing more and more in the United States such as schools, malls, and other public places.
ReplyDelete2. I do believe legislators are doing their best to prevent these crimes from happening, but also need to more often pay attention to prevent these crimes from happening, Also, to increase the security in public places.
I agree with you in the part that mass public shootings are becoming more often so often that they are happening almost every day. The part that I disagree with you is that I do not believe that congress is doing their best. I believe that they put more focus on other issues like the legalization of marijuana instead of focusing more on the security of the public.
Delete1.) Yes, I believe that mass shootings are increasing everyday that passes by because that's all you really see and hear on the news today.
ReplyDelete2.) We should have more security at every store just to make sure that all customers are safe when they are shopping.
I agree with Francisco these shooting have been happening way to much. The police need to step up because to many innocent people are dying for no reason, and of of course there should be more security less people dying.
DeleteI do believe that mass public shootings are becoming more frequent. Just two weeks ago four shootings happened in different states each one happening one day after the other. I believe that the congress should pass a law that makes malls, movie theaters, and other public areas increase their security a little more. They should put metal detectors in the entrances of this public places to ensure the safety of the public.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you with public shootings becoming more common in our generation. If the congress made malls, movies theaters and other public places then wouldn’t it be as bad as it is in airports. There would need to be other alternatives to this problem
DeleteI agree with what you say Rolando, but like you said it is up to the government to stop all this nonsense that is going on in the United States. There has to be someone that can come up with some type of law that can bring this crime down.
DeleteI agree with you they should put more secure in public areas and start using metal detecors for the safety of the public. However, the legislators should figure what else they can prevent from the mass shooting in publics.
DeleteI believe that mass shooting in the United States is becoming more rampant. We are seeing in news and articles about shootings happening in public places that end up in someone getting killed or fatally wounded. I suggest legislators should propose laws that make it harder for the public to obtain weapons easily or put metal detectors to lower the chances of a shooting from happening.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you, the shootings are becoming more rampant because anyone can obtain a weapon. There should only be certain people who should own a gun, not just everyone. Most of the citizens in America are not responsible enough to own a weapon because if they get angry all of a sudden they want to kill you. There are just too many bipolar people out there. More security in public places would help, such as metal detectors.
DeleteYes Rolando, I agree with you. Just as the airport has security other public places should have the same amount of security there. This will not stop unless we figure out what is triggering these occurrences. I agree that stricter laws with guns and other weapons of destruction should most definitely be enforced.
DeleteIn my perspective, I believe that mass shootings have become a large conflict in the United States. I believe that these suspects are targeting the public because of the large population. The legislators should have more control and be stricter as it relates to guns. People are able to get a gun anywhere these days and the legislators should do something so it wouldn’t be so simple and easy to get a gun. I also believe that there should be more security in the public to prevent the mass shootings from happening again
ReplyDeleteYes, suspects are targeting people in public areas, but yet I believe that there has to be a reason of why they are committing this crime. Obviously I’m not defending the perpetrator, but there is always the other side of the story. We only get to see the story that the news provide us. On the other hand yes I believe that the legislatures should do something about this be3cause it is totally getting out of hands.
DeleteMass shootings are becoming more and more common. If you were to look back to the 1990's. After the 911 attack, we have received humorous accounts of mass shootings and bombing. This may be as a resort of people angry at the economy or, they work so much that they lose it. To prevent this, we should implement cameras in public building and areas as well as places were large groups meet. This way we know who is in the area and what is happening
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Juan Carlos, the surveillance cameras should be added in public areas and to inform us who is around, and what is occurring. However, we have received tremendous accounts of mass shootings and the legislators have not done as much as they could have.
DeleteI disagree I don't think that cameras in places are going to help stop someone from shooting people in a public place. Especially if the response time isn't fast enough. Just sitting in a room watching a camera isn't going to stop the act from transpiring.
DeleteI agree with placing more cameras in a public building, but more security guards would be better too. This way we can have a fast response if something were to happen in the building.
DeleteI agree with Shawnise , I believe that the surveillance cameras aren't going.to do anything as far as preventing the shootings from happening. Especially if there is not enough time and if there is no one monitoring the cameras.
DeleteNowadays shootings in public areas are becoming more usual than ever, but usually it’s because the person that shot the individual was having some type of problem with the individual. In other cases is because the perpetrator has mental problems, has problems, or simply is being bullied. Yet crimes are on the rise when it comes to dealing with people shooting others in a public area. So therefore, yes they are becoming more often but there has to be something that the Criminal justice system should do about it. Certain rule that can prohibit the use of guns to some extends, yes people that are towards not wanting to keep their guns with them are going to talk back. An important role has to be set on this because if not these types of crimes are later going to be so common to see on the news. The legislatures are not doing enough to keep this from happening but they should definitely settle a law that prevents this from happening. So we can also keep people from going to jail and we would not have to worry about this crime.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that mass public shooting is becoming more rampant in the United States of America. As the days pass the more you hear about the tragedies, not in the US, but all around the world. I certainly think legislators are not doing enough to keep this from happening. I also think legislators should upgrade their security in public areas and more visual of their surroundings. Although, with more security can be infuriating it is all worth it at the end.
ReplyDeleteI agree our government could upgrade security. I’m not for sure if that will stop the shootings from happening but I think that it will definitely decrease the mass shootings. I truly believe that the homicides of all those people are just the effect of some very trouble children.
DeleteI agree with you Stephanie how there is mass public shooting all around the world not just the United States. Also, how they need to put more security in public areas maybe if they do there would be less mass shootings.
DeleteI agree with your opinion on upgrading the security in public areas, Also that this is happening all around the world, but more security could be worth it at the end.
DeleteI agree that the legislator are not keeping up with the mass shooting that's occuring more often. I believe they need more security for the safety of others and as well as for our safety.
DeleteI agree with you, the security can be infuriating at times. Unfortunately, we constantly hear about mass shootings in public places all across the country. Increasing public security can reduce these mass killings of innocents. In the end, it is better to have security than no security at all since we now know that security could have saved lives.
DeleteYes, I do believe that that shootings are becoming more rampant because every time you turn on the TV, or the radio, or open a newspaper someone has went inside a public place and killed or injured multiple people. In my opinion there isn’t anything the legislature can do because they have no way of knowing that these people would kill anyone. This has to be taken care of at home, parents should pay more attention to their kids because if not this will be the result. The government cannot give a child the love and affection that a parent can.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Shwanise, legislature can't really do anything because no one knows who will turn out to be a terrorist in the future. They just happen to transform over time. And parents do need to speak to their kids more about gun control.
DeleteIn my opinion, I do believe that the shootings are becoming more rampant every year. Because there has not been a day where I have heard that there was no shooting. Instead I hear the opposite some times two or more occur every day, and night. The only thing I think the legislators can do is upgrade the security in public areas. Nothing else could possibly be done to stop such a violent act like that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Cesar. Everyday more and more shootings are in the news. Legislators should increase security more in order to prevent violent acts like those. More police officers in public places would help a lot more.
DeleteI agree with you cesar, but even if we were to increase security at these public places, there are always some people who study police enough to out smart the system. When the police finally catch word about these people, it could already be too late.
DeleteI disagree with you Cesar, well only on your last statement. There are other ways to prevent a mass shooting; such as creating more mental facilities where people can reach out and receive help so that they wont have to release their feelings in such a matter.
DeleteI agree with you Cesar. There's possibly more ways but i believe that way is the best thus far. We can't stop criminals now these days with what they want to do
DeleteYes, I believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant because there becoming more frequently in the news such as schools, malls, and other public places. I also believe the legislators should be more secure in public areas to prevent mass shooting. Not just to be secure, but to protect our community and start using metal detector for the safety of others.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Crystal. The increase of mass shootings in the U.S is getting out of control. Legislators should use more security in public places to prevent such horrible accidents. Metal detectors would be such a great help for better security.
DeleteI agree with you Crystal, the legislatures should enforce safety in public areas. The use of metal detectors sounds like a great way to prevent mass shootings. I also believe that the buyers or people will feel more secure in public places. Hopefully one day, we can completely reduce mass killings of innocents.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Crystal this is very true but we must remember that we can not just place a metal detector just anywhere. There must be a cause to everything and that cause must be stopped. The use of carrying guns should also have stricter laws, not only with the use of using them.
DeleteI highly believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant in the U.S. I think the reason why people shoot up places is for the attention. I think the lack of attention at home leads to incidents like shootings. Also the use of violence in a video game can also mess with a person's mind. Although legislators are doing good I believe that they are not doing good enough. Metal detectors should be used as a safety procedure. I think all public places should be treated as the airport, and use the same security procedures for the citizens .
ReplyDeleteFlor, I strongly agree with your opinion about people commiting these mass shootings due to the lack of attention some individuals recieve at home and the violence the video games withhold. These two things are the keys to peoples' mental dreak down and wanting to harm others and themselves.
DeleteI agree with you Flor, lack of attention and these violent video games could be contributing factors as to why people feel the need to commit such a horrific crime. I also agree with your opinion about the legislators , I just believe that they aren't doing as best of a job as they can to prevent things like this from happening.
DeleteI kinda agree with you Flor. Yes there should be more metal detectors at places. But I kinda have to disagree about having us get searched like an air port. I understand how safe airports are now due to there procedures but I don't see getting searched to get in a grocery store.
DeleteHello other CJ students! Hope you all enjoyed your break.
ReplyDelete1. I do believe that mass shootings have became more rampant in the United States. In my eyes, crime gets worse every day as time goes on. It increases, and the crimes done by younger individuals increase as well. Innocent people die everyday as a result of these mass shootings.
2. I think legislature is slowly trying to do everything they can about weapons in general, but I don't think that its the weapons, it's the people who are using them. I think that when weapons are purchased, there should be some procedure or paper test to see if the individual trying to purchase the weapon has a stable mind first, then he or she can take the weapon home.
I totally agree with you about the legislators trying to do everything they can about weapons & your suggestion about taking a test before purchasing a weapon is a great idea.
Delete-Jose Turcios
I agree with you Jona because you may never know what is on that persons mind at the time. You may not even know what happened to them before they got there to buy the weapon.
DeleteI agree that the weapons are not the problem. It is actually the people that are using them for horrible crimes.
DeleteYes I believe that mass public shootings are becoming mor rampant in the USA. In the past 2 years there have been major shootings. There was the theater shooting in Colorado and the elementary shooting in Connecticut. It doesn't matter where, when, what time, there is a shooting happening. The public shooting winded down for awhile until the gun laws started getting stricter and were being more enforced .
ReplyDeleteI feel as if legislators are not doing enough as they think they are because the same things keep constantly happening. Also schools, malls, movie theaters, etc. should be more protective and high on security. Places that sells guns should watch who they sell guns to. Certain people should be allowed to buy and be able to operate guns. They should really only allow officers operate and buy guns.
I agree with Alyssa there should be no reaso why mass shooting are happening in schools. There should be alot more protection for these kids. Yes metal detectors in a school might seem weird or not in place but, with the things going on in this world they are really needed.
DeleteIn my own opinion, there has been many mass shootings all across the nation. We can easily see that the Columbine and Maryland shootings are few examples of how individuals are dealing with their problems. It is unfortunate that innocent lives have been lost due to inconsiderate individuals. Our government and voters have tried to regulate gun control, but many are opposed to this government intervention. Hence, people as well as our government should aspire to control guns to impede any more bloodshed.
ReplyDelete1) I absolutely believe that public environments are being big targets for mass shootings. Due to the amount of people circulating these public places there is no doubt that a shooter may start a huge issue with taking the lives of innocent people that just wanted to buy or even take a look at something that caught their attention. Shooters with mentality to take the lives of these innocent people will not stop their rampage towards anybody who steps in their way until they’re stopped or until the last bullet with their own name on it hits their head
ReplyDelete2) First off there should be major change difference in the age required to be allowed to buy these dangerous firearms. Second these public environments can be more safer with the help of more skilled, trained, and prepared officers instead of these basic officers on duty. Finally knowing that many young kids are being mentioned more on the news because of this problem some parents may want to buy a more secure safe or find a better place to hide these dangerous firearms.
I agree, with the age you should be to buy these guns. All the mass shootings that are taking place are happening by our younger generation’s .So yes we should raise the age limits on who is able to purchase these weapons.
DeleteI agree with you Jose. I think if there is a age limit on who can operate and buy an firearm then maybe some of these mass shootings may die down.
DeleteI believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States because we are not taking enough precautions. We see more and more shootings everyday and the perpetrators target places where people are most vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteI understand that we have the right to bear arms as Americans but honestly the only people that should have a weapon in their possession are police officers. Due to all the shootings that have occurred by people who have no criminal record there is no point of doing background checks or any kind of procedures to let citizens have weapons. Because you never know when they will all of a sudden go crazy and shoot another human being. There should be more security in public places honestly, and just be alert of your surroundings.
Yess I do agree with you, we need to become more cautious of our surroundings due to what this world has come to with all these public shootings but I slightly disagree with you about only police men should have weapons, we the people have the right to near arms we just need more safety rules like medal detectors & things like that.
Delete-Jose Turcios
I agree with your opinion to an extent, I like the idea you have about police officers being the only people with the ability to posses a fire arm, but that should only pertain to public places. The reason I believe people should still have the right to bear arms is due to all the other crimes that happen such as home robberies and things of that sort.
DeleteYes, I agree these mass shooting have been happening alot in the us . There should be something dime to protect these innocent people getting Killed . The government should have to pass a law concerning guns in public places such as schools, movies, parks,and restaurants. So yes there should be something done to stop all this innocent killing and devastated families.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you my big boy Joe the government should pass a law where you can have gun in a public place.
DeleteThe government has made a law about guns in public places. You are not allowed to carry around guns in public places like schools or entertainment businesses even, if they are registered guns. What the government should do is make these places add more ways to find when people are actually carrying a weapon with them.
DeleteI agree with you Joe because by doing that many innocent lives will be saved and many people will have a hard time purchasing and owning a fire arm. i believe they should at least hire a security gaurd and some metal detectors ?
Delete1. Yes, because a lot of mass public shooting are happening in the united states and mostly all the shooters are teenagers.
ReplyDelete2. I think that legislators should put more guards in buildings or put metal detectors so that public shooting would go down.

ReplyDelete1. Yes public shooting are becoming a big thing in the united states.
ReplyDelete2. This country is becoming dangerous with all these shootings, legislators need to come up with somethinf to protect citizens of the U.S yes it will cost money but we the people cant always live with fear.
- Jose Turcios
Yes, I strongly believe that mass shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States. From the year 2006 it is said that one mass shooting every two weeks takes place. The FBI defines a mass shooting as there being four or more victims not including the killer. As for the legeslators I do believe that they are doing just about eveything they can without violating the second ammendment and having the public go through metal detectors everywhere they are. If society wasn't so cruel, closed minded, and payed attention to those around them the people who commit these hanious crimes wouldn’t even think about it in the first place, whether it be due to their mental state or other circumstance.
ReplyDeleteI agree that our legislators are trying their best. It’s one thing for schools to have metal detectors, but it would be harder for most individuals to agree with having to go through a metal detector just to get into the mall.
DeleteI agree that the second amendment should not be violated. There is other ways to decrease these mass shootings. One of them is to provide more help to people with mental illness.
DeleteI agree that the second amendment shouldn’t be violated but I disagree that the legislators are not trying their best. I believe that they can do much more to protect the public instead of making them go through metal detectors everywhere they go. Legislators should really take this into consideration because mass shootings are becoming more rampant and a lot of innocent people are losing their lives for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The public shouldn’t go out panicking and thinking if there is going to be a shooting or not.
DeleteI definitely agree with you. I don't understand how easy it is to buy a gun that can soon be the deadly weapon used in a public shooting. I personally believe that just having a license to a gun is enough. It's actually the least that they can do. I agree that they need to go into depth with this like doing the whole background checks, and psychological tests.
DeleteI agree that the public shooting are becoming more rampant in the U.S. We here these types of events on the news ,and it seems that they are becoming a faster and more effective way to killing mass amounts of people. In my opinion one way to deter the gun ,and mass shootings is to put more security ,and police officers in these facilities .As for the guns we should make stronger gun laws, and I’m not saying take guns away but I don’t believe that we should make it so easy for just anyone to buy these weapons. Especially for those who have no good intentions for these weapons period.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Precious there should be more security to help deter the gun problem. We should make it difficult to get a gun but yet not stop selling them.
DeleteThere should be more security to help prevent the massive gun shootings in America. I agree with both of you.
DeleteThere should be more security in public places.people's need to feel safe.I agree with you.
DeletePublic shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States because many of the shooters are not receiving mental help. There are not enough mental institutions where all these mentally ill people can go to. Legislators are not doing enough, so I purpose that Legislators should focus on increasing the budget to open more psychiatric hospitals. There are not enough of them for the community. Providing Psychiatrists could decrease the mass shootings.
ReplyDeleteZaira, I also believe your statement. Legislators are doing enough, there are not enough of them for the community. Providing Psychiatrists could decrease the mass shootings.
DeleteI agree with you Zaira but putting them in an institution after they have already commit the crime won't help what already been done. I believe Legislators should put an effort in helping the public from harm and hire trained security to make public places safer and more comfortable to be at. Adding metal detectors to some well known and highly visited public places could be useful.
DeleteI also agree with you Zaira. We could have prevented some tragedies by having more available spaces in mental institutions so they can get help before harming anyone. However, sometimes the shooters don't even have a mental pronlem. So we will need to find a solution to that too.
Delete1. I do believe that public shootings have become more rampant in the United States. I don't really know the real reason, but in my opinion I'm guessing It's one of their ways of getting all their anger out.
ReplyDelete2. I don't believe the legislators are doing a Good job by keeping these things from happening. I propose that they increase their security, that only the authorities have the right for a gun. Alot if people are buying guns for No reason. They should have a very strict policy on purchasing guns.

ReplyDeleteMass shootings in public areas such as schools, malls, businesses,ect. Have taken a drastic increase in the U.S over the past few years. In 2013 alone there was 365 mass shootings. Everytime we turn around there is yet another shooting In a public place that has taken the lives of innocent people.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the legislators , I believe that they are only doing what they think is good enough but sadly with the unpredictable world we live in sometimes good isn't good enough. With that being said I believe that more officers should be hired, metal dectors in more public places and cameras that are to be monitered at all times.
Yes I do believe more mass shootings are becoming rampant in the United States because you hear and see it more often on the news. For example, last week an 17 year old student in Hawaii went into his school and stabbed a person. Don't forget about the movie theater shooting when batman came out and or the Sandy Hooks Shooting. I would propose the legislator should hire more trained police officers to protect our community such as school and malls.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you gabrielle.There has been aa lot going on in this world and someone needs to put a stop to it.
DeleteI agree with you gabrielle. There's so much crime and it's increasing by the minute and we need to stop it
Delete1: My opinion over the mass shootings in public places is that there may not be a way to completely stop them but there are ways that they can be prevented. As for preventing them, it may take time effort and of course money, which would mean we could add metal detectors, more security and cameras In blind spots.
ReplyDelete2: As for the legislators doing something to prevent these horrible incidents, none have taken the next step into doing any type of extra work to come up with ideas. Adding a bit more security or cameras won't completely stop a mass shooting but it can give us time to possibly try and prevent them.
I agree Crystal, we can add more cameras to give us a opportunity t stop and prevent a act such as this one. With more cameras you can keep a eye on everything and you might notice someone carrying a weapon.
Delete1. I do believe that public mass shootings are becoming more rampant and not being held with more importance to stop them and saving more lives including the people who cause the shootings
ReplyDelete2. I do not think the legislators are not doing enough to help the people in who are not mentally stable. The people who do the mass shootings need help and no one pays attention to them and they seek attention so they end up looking for the wrong kind just so they can say that they need help.
Nangel, I also believe that legislators are not doing enough to help the people in who are not mentally stable.
DeleteI agree with you. Legislators are not doing everything in there power to help the people with mentally illnesses.
DeleteI agree with you. Public areas are being easily targeted by many shooters quite often now. Also you ate correct, legislators are not doing everything in there power to help.
DeleteI also do believe that public shootings have become more rampant in the United States of America. From the year 2006 it is said that one mass shooting every two weeks takes place. The FBI defines a mass shooting as there being four or more victims not including the killer. As far as preventing the outbreaks, we need more guards/officers in these places with a no weapon policy strictly in force. But even with having numerous amounts of possible safety procedures for the innocent the suspect will not stop until they have accomplished there
ReplyDeleteaction plan. The best possible solution is to catch the disease when it starts, if signs are starting to show enroll them into a behavioral/cognitive psychological office to wear they can recieve treatment.
I totally agree with you. There should be more done in America.
DeleteYes I do believe that there are more public shootings in the United States. We live day to day hearing about how public areas have been more dangerous. Also I believe the legislators haven't done much in order to protect the people we should feel safe when we go to a public place when there are massive crowds and enjoy the time that is given not taken away from someone that puts innocent people in danger. I believe a lot more can be done to protect the people but some people don't have a way to show it of to America.
ReplyDeleteI believe you are totally correct crystal. There should be more done about What's going on in the public eye.
DeleteI agree with you. Public areas are being easily targeted by many shooters quite often now. Legislators haven’t really addressed this problem nor have they tried to fix it. I agree that they haven’t done much to protect the people. They need to protect the safety of the public so innocent people can stop losing their lives.
DeleteI completely agree with you crystal! Public areas such as schools, theaters, libraries, parks etc. should be safe for people to enjoy and have a good time without having to worry about being shot at. I believe the government should be stricter.
DeleteI do believe that there are more public shootings in the united states. We hear more and more about these kinds of crimes on the news.
ReplyDeleteIn order to control all of the shootings there should be more highly trained officers in public areas. This would cause the government to spend more money but it would be more secure for the citizens of this country.
Mass shootings are becoming more common. Between 2000 and 2008, there has been an average of five mass shootings every year in the United States. Compared to 2013, there has been at least 12 mass shootings. Also, I believe that legislators are doing what they can about this matter.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/21/eric-holder-mass-shootings_n_4136003.html
I do believe that there are more public shootings in the United States. There are people that talk about them all the time and when the news report it we hear about the crimes that happen.
ReplyDeleteI believe we should take precaution in what happens in public places. We shouldn't feel scared to go somewhere If things are there its for the publics use. We should put more security in areas lime that.
Yes, I do believe that shooting are becoming like a trend or a cry for attention. There are many poeple who have psychological issues and they resort to doing extreme things in order to get attention. For the second question i think that legislators need to make gun laws that are stricter. Public places should also be forced to have mandatory security in case anything like this were to ever happen. There is no one thing we can do to stop these mass shoting, but we can take serious measures in order to decrease the chances of something like this to happen again.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant. Almost everyday something about mass shootings is on the news. I think it’s because people just don’t think things through. The shooters probably have a lot of issues bottled up inside them and that’s when they finally snap. Then they go out and start shooting at innocent people. Mass shootings are becoming better known in the states. The shooters are targeting innocent people in crowded places or children. The legislators need to put a limit on how many guns a household can have. Many households have a lot of guns that are very dangerous. The crowded public area is going to start becoming a target for most shooters. I think there needs to be more security outside the mall near the entrances so they can see if anyone looks suspicious. It may cause more time and money but at least they’ll be safe.
ReplyDelete2. I believe legislators have done a great job creating policies and laws dealing with security. Sadly today it doesn't seem that way. People feel insecure about going to public places because they fear being shot at. But i believe the legislators are aware but are accoupied with something that is more convinient to them. Thats why i believe we as a community should pressure them to solve this problem.
ReplyDeleteI firmly agree with you one hundred percent Trejo.Legislators have done their best trying to find ways to stop these cases from happening. So what more can they do to stop people from carrying out these malicious acts? Nothing but what they've been doing from the start and that's trying their best
DeleteYes, public shootings are becoming more rampant, in the United States. I say that because it seems like we're hearing about them more and more. The shooters may have alot going on and something upsets them and they finally explode, on innocent people.
ReplyDeleteTo stop violence in public place, I would have very skilled, and trained police officers in highly populated places. This could be expensive, but I belive could lower the public shootings. This would also keep not only the staff, volunteers , but also all the innocent victims.
Increasing security in highly populated areas is a superb idea. I think that would make the public feel more safe and might prevent future shooters. And there has been many shootings that we hear now.
DeleteI agree with you, Lourdes. More security might prevent all this current events that have been happening but that would mean that we would have to put in more money and our economy would be more unbalance… But yes we do need more security so people can feel safer and things that have been happening won’t happen and occur again.
DeleteYes, I believe mass public shooting is becoming more rampant in the U.S . Its crazy how many mass shootings there has been in such short time period. Innocent people lost their lives and are just a memory to there loved ones. I do think legislators are doing there part . However one thing they should do is limit the limitations of owning guns. There has been a study of most of the suspets that participate in such horror behavior that they have some sort of mental illnes , or are known to be psyco paths. Only their family know they are , there for I strongly propose for the family to take action and watch over these sick people.
ReplyDeleteYes Erika i agree with you. That there has been many shootings in these past days. Also familiys sould take there part in action. By helping there kids keep there life in order,and show them the right way of life.
DeleteI believe that mass public shootings are being rampant everywhere due to the lack of security and precaution. There's news everyday reporting about these crimes and yet legislators aren't working hard enough to change it. Now I know there is no way to completely remove all shooting crimes, but the most they can do to decrease the rate of public shooting is to put the precaution level to the max and always perform a property check on people entering the building.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Legislators are not doing everything they can to decrease gun violence, also I like the idea of searching people were there is a huge gathering of people.
DeleteJavier is right legislators are not doing anything about this crime rate going up rapidly of they were doing something then you would have seen the crime rate in mall shooting a little more less in the news and the legislator making laws.
Delete1. Yes I do believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States of America. To me it feels as if every day you hear of some extreme shooting somewhere in the country. In the past when you would hear of a incident of this magnitude you would be stunned,shocked and just hurt by the hearing of a case as this one. Now all America can do is shake their heads and pray for the victim's family
ReplyDelete2. I think no matter what legislators do to try and prevent cases such as these, extreme cases like this one won't and can't be prevented. We can't save the world from every little violence case. The way I see it we've done all that we can.It's the matter of knowing that any thing and everything can happen at any point in time. Although if we try to maximize security and find a better watch force maybe we can find a way but, America is starting to look hopeless in trying to prevent something like this from happening.
Yes i believe shootings are becoming more rampant in the united states. This is because there's alot of news about it and it's increasing. I also think the amount of punishment should increase to the criminals. This would probably help decrease the amount of shootings.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, if there were more severe punishments then maybe people will think twice before doing a crime.
DeleteI agree with you Jocelyn. When the news inform people about the pampant shootings it inspires some people to do the same or something much more similiar. I also disagree with you. How does increases the punishment stop this? Some people might think twice and some might not care. Increases the punishment will not help this kind of crime.
DeleteI do agree with jocelyn that the ramped mall shooting are becoming more and more frequent in the news. Since there was one mall shooting people are thinking they can start committing them since there crime rate has been increasingly rapid.
DeleteI do believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant. I say this because with the technology that we have to day can let us check the news when we want and every time I check there seems to be a mass shooting that recently happened. To me the legislators are doing everything they can to prevent gun violence from becoming a massive problem but it isn’t enough. I propose to prevent another mass public shooting from occurring that we should have trained personal in areas that many people gather at.
ReplyDeleteThe personal in public gatherings are typically already trained. Maybe having them multiplied will make the offenders think twice about their decision knowing that they won't get away with it so easily. The frequency of these events is actually scary not knowing when or where it will happen next, but more precautionary methods should be implicated to keep society safe.
DeleteI believe that mass public shootings are indeed becoming more rampart in the US. The main reason for this might be because psychiatrical problems. Many mentally disabled people are not being treated due to lack of space in mental hospitals. The government needs to open more mental institutions so we could prevent the shooting from happening before our even starts. As to decreasing gun violence, there will always be danger when it comes to guns. We cannot take them all out. Increasing security to possibly scare suspects is an outstanding idea that might possibly prevent future shootings.
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with you Lourdes, but how would you know if the mentally disabled people would do the shootings? That's kind of discrimination against the mentally ill because some shootings occur with people who aren't mentally ill. So, what about them? How would they be handeled? We never what anyone's capable of until it happens and when it happens, it's like WOW!
DeleteI agree with you , Lourdes. I also believe that the reason why this shootings are becoming more frequent is perhaps because the person has a psych iatrical problem or mentally disabled. Then again some people are just born with the intension to do bad.
Delete1- Mass shootings in public environments are becoming more frequent. That's an apparent matter. I think a strong influence on the actions taken by those individuals, is the media. We have desensitized so much behind a screen or a keyboard, that the repercussions for any sense of bullying taking place almost becomes unimportant as long as the attention seeked is being brought forward.
ReplyDelete2- One thing I feel strongly about is letting the public keep their fire arms. It takes a person to shoot a gun. If legislators really want to prevent the violence in regards to guns, then security at any public event or place should be stepped up in numbers. Also, it wouldn't hurt to look more profoundly into the individuals being registered for the weapons. Of course some people will buy them illegally; a lot will fall through the cracks, but Rome wasn't built in a day.
1. In my opinion, mass shootings are becoming more frequent and rampant in he United States. Everyday there's something new about a rampant shooting. And how the generation is today, once they hear about an incident as such some feel as if they should do the same. They're basically influenced by the situation.
ReplyDelete2. WHAT CAN LEGISLATURES DO? Make a public announcement stating to stop the rampent shootings? No ONE is going to listen, so that's why I believe no matter what legislatures do the shootings will be a continuum thing. Even if there's a rule, the rule be avoided and broken.
I agree with you D'Angela. No matter what legislators do people are going to do what they want at the end of the day, and if they want to kill somebody they're going to do it. Legislators can make an announcement or additional laws, but people are going to get a hold of guns whether it be legal or not.
DeleteI believe the shootings are becoming more frequent in our country. You see more and more shootings now in days. Apparently its something normal to see ..well eventually its just something that wouldn’t be abnormal since there is more and more shootings going on now.
ReplyDeleteLegislators should decrease the guns in our country and only give permission to use guns to those who go through mind exams as in psychological and other test to be sure that the person can use a gun with purposes of protection or so .
Mass shootings are becoming more fequent and it's sad that it is. I believe we should not really decrease the guns and weapons, but make it a little more challanging to get a hold of. For example, no criminal history, liscense for the weapon, etc.
Delete1. Mass shootings are definitly occuring more in the United States rather than in other countries and I think reason being is because we have a lot more freedom.
ReplyDelete2. Legislators can make more laws and rules to try and prevent mass shootings and crimes, but at the end of the day I believe if someone wants a gun they're going to get one whether it be legal or not
1. Yes I do believe that the ramped mall shootings are becoming more and more frequent than anything else in the United States because all in the news you see is about mall shootings and the young suspects that committed the crimes are not known what is wrong with them.
ReplyDelete2.The legislator should be more cautious on who buys guns and that they should get a thoroughly background check and see if they have any kids that live with them and make sure the parents take specific precaution on their gun safety and putting the gun in a high secured place.
I agree with you on the part where each individual should go through a background check and to see if they have any children that live with them. The individual must be cautious to make sure their gun is on safety because their children may grab it and no one wants to come home to a child that has played with a guy and shot their self.
DeleteIn our times violence has become more frequent in public places. You would think after horrific events such as the Columbine, Sandy Hook, Batman premiere in Colorado. You Would think that there would be more precautions taken in place to prevent some of these dangerous acts that has caused the lives of people. Or at least safety procedures in case a incident like this does accrue. As for gun control they have some kind of structure but maybe not enough to prevent these catastrophes from happening. there should be background checks criminal records being reviewed. Guns are not something to take lightly to.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion , mass shootings are becoming more frequent and rampant in the U.S. Everyday theres something new about a rampant shooting ,and how the generation is today .Once they hear about an incident as such some feel as if they should do the same.there should be background checks criminal records being reviewed. Guns are not something to take lightly to.They are basically influenced by the situation. The Legislators should install metal detectors in some public places. I know I will fell more safer than ever. But just by them telling us not to shoot in public places . They wont listen at all
ReplyDeleteYes Bianca I do agree with you, we are hearing a lot more about massive shootings in public places. Like u said people/kids take guns lightly. They think they can play or go hurt people with guns but they are a major threat. Also by putting metal detectors we will all feel safe at public places.
Delete1. In my opinion I do think that mass shootings are becoming more frequent now due to the fact that many teens or young adults are getting bullied by other peers, random people, and even maybe their family members. Another thing is that now many people have really fast and easy access to guns. They could be either their parents, family member, or you can even buy one in the streets.
ReplyDelete2. I believe that legislators should become tougher now with the sales of fire arms and require a certain license to own a gun because any U.S. citizen with a clean background can buy from a variety of pistols, shotguns, Assault Rifles, & even a Barrette 50. Cal. I think the government should reinforce the security public areas like school, malls, Movie Theater etc. because it bothers me now that people can’t go with their friends or family members to spend a good time or watch a movie without having to worry about getting shot at or killed.
Yes Oscar I agree with you 100%. Many kids do have easy access guns because many parents own guns in their homes. Also kids do cause shooting because of getting bullied. They feel hurt so they feel like they need to hurt others.
DeleteYes I do believe mass public shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States because this is happening a lot lately. I have been hearing about public shootings a lot more than before so it is more rampant. Also, no I don’t believe that legislators are doing enough to decrease gun violence because like I said it’s happening a lot more often. I think legislators should change laws and make them stricter to prevent events like this from happening. For example putting a lot more metal detectors in every school and every public place there is. That will reduce the amount of weapons in public places and can prevent shootings.
ReplyDeleteI agree wtih you Ivan shootings are occuring more often. I belive people are trying to stop the shootings but its not working. I agree with you a lot that the childrens parents need to have the part.
Delete1. Mass shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States. The people who start the inconvenience probably have short tempered atittudes that tempts them in doing such violent actions to innocence. Its crucial for the people to check their surroundings. in addition, whoever is doing such violent actions may have problems he or she is going through that flashbacked their memories.
ReplyDelete2. Lastly but not least, for the sake of saving innocence they have to provide strict security to public entertainment places.
Javier i agree with you they are replying more and more. But peoples tempers has nothing to do with this. People are able to control themselfes but parents have alot to do with this.
DeleteYes i do belive mass shootings are occuring more often then previous years. I belive people are trying to prevent the mass shootings. Metal dictectorsd are being set before school starts to prevent these occursions. Parents should do there part in seeing there child to see the problems they face outside of school.
ReplyDeleteI agree wtih you carlos shootings are occuring more often. I belive people are trying to stop the shootings but its not working. I agree with you a lot that the childrens parents need to have the part.
DeleteIn agreeing with you carlos, mass shootings are coming about the previous years. Metal Detectors are to be held at places to bring safety to the people.
Delete1.YES, I do believe that mass shootings are becoming frequent because now what you mainly hear in the news is about shootings or teens comitting crimes.
ReplyDelete2.The legislator should be more strict with selling fire arms to people. They should require a license to own a gun because most of the people that own fire arms don't even have a license to own a gun.
In also agreeing with you Aide, mass shootings are coming about. Also in beleiving you of stricting the owning of a gun. If someone is in the holding of a gun there should be the order of showing their gun license
DeleteI highly agree with you on the part where the legislator should be more strict with selling fire arms to people. The individuals that want a fire arm should do a full application on why they desire to want or need one.
DeleteGreat story and a great way to relate to our teenage life. But to respond to your questions, yes I do believe mass shootings are accruing more and more often in the United States, Because of all the story’s you hear on the news. Also to answer your second question there’s nothing the government can do. They can't reduce United States weapons because no matter what the guns are going to get into the country ether the right way or the wrong way. It’s all on the parents to enforce their own rules. To let their children know of the effects and the consequences there could be for these violations on the laws.
ReplyDeleteI think for question one the mass shootings are becoming a huge problem in our surroundings. Most people have easy access to have hand guns and they find any reason to use it. Therefore shootings are very frequent now.
ReplyDeleteFor question two . I believe that legislators should increase their safety issues and become tougher about thier locations.
Shootings are becoming more prevalent especially around the United States, perhaps there could be a rule of having to go through two metal detectors surely it would take longer but it would be twice as safe than having to walk around insecure about yourself.I do understand that weapons are dangerous, but I beg to differ that guns don't kill people, people kill people.Teenagers shouldn't even have weapons but we cant really blame them for everything, because the parents also failed to realize to keep their weapons in a secure environment.
ReplyDeleteMaybe to keep the crime low, legislation could pass a law of a requirement that shows that the owner is capable of handling a weapon.Even though they might be sold in the black market at least it will decrease the gun violence.
I agree with you . Having security is safe . I don't think having metal detectors in every place that should be a place to enjoy is right . It's not something people would enjoy . Who wants to go into a mall but have to be stuck in a line just because others can't take proper responsibility . Yes safety is a big priority but its to much . Gun violence is big problem so maybe the law needs to tighten up with guns.
DeleteYes, I honestly believe that mass public shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States of America. Its like everytime we go out in the public, each individual has to be cautious about their surroundings. The generation today has changed from way back then from not too bad to horrible. It is not fair that plenty of people have to go out in fear, knowing that someone may be ignorant and start a mass shooting. The legislators should look into having more security in the public places with metal detectors, to decrease the mass shootings or any violence. If the legislators decide to do something like this, the violence should decrease and the world will be a better place, especially in public places.
ReplyDeleteI agree today's time isn't the same . Crimes have increased way to much . I don't think have metal detectors in each public place is the right thing . Going to enjoyable places shouldn't feel like a prison to others .
DeleteI do believe that shootings in the United States are becoming more rapid . Anyone and everyone more likely have access to guns . Getting a hold of one isn't so hard no more . We least expect it from young teenagers but this becomes more known now due to access to hand guns so easy .
ReplyDeleteI don't really believe that in a mall you can really have more security . A mall is suppose to be a place for us to enjoy and have time with our family members . It shouldn't have to feel like a prison . So I honestly wouldn't know what we could do to fix this . Unless you have a security person inside each store to feel more secure . This means higher budget but if it helps then better than nothing , right ?
Yes, I truly believe that massive public shootings are becoming more rampant in the United States because we lack of security in public places. We do not have enough safety in public areas like malls. Anyone can just walked in the mall and point a gun at someone, this world isn't safe. We can't do something that will stop massive shootings right away but we can add more security to public places and I'm pretty sure that will help.
ReplyDelete1. Yes I believe that shootings are becoming more rampant because as time goes by there is more and more shootings happening in the United States. We need to have more security because we need to feel safe when we walk into a public place.
ReplyDelete2. I think legislators should have more trained officers in vastly spread places where they could start a massive or just simple shooting. It doesn't matter because are both very dangerous.
