security guards.” That is in fact true, but what if a school couldn’t afford a security guard? What if the security guard was gun downed by the gunner and no one else could stop the gunner? These are the questions that we must ask ourselves if we want to protect students and faculty in the future by these crazed gunners. However, what if we allowed the faculty to carry a gun to protect themselves and their students? We don’t expect to hand over a firearm to a teacher and expect them to know how to

disappointing to me that the very symbols of our freedom are being questioned. A prime example of this was in the news about a week ago. Six students that attend the University of California-Irvine were petitioning to have the American flag removed from the campus grounds because it was not inclusive to all nationalities (Starnes).

Gun control, is it really necessary? The United States is the "so-called" free country that allows its people to bear arms. But as seen from current events, this broad privilege has caused millions of deaths around the nation.
