when I first heard about the shooting I was a little dumb founded. i couldn't believe that a grown man went in to a junior school and gunned down about 20 children and a few teachers. i was shocked to find out that his mother was actually a teacher there as well.
To hear about this is terrifying because if a man can easily kill a group of young defenceless children in a country thats suppose to be" the land of dreams" and that promotes freedom and safety, it make me wonder what could of caused such a greta act of violence.
in America access to guns is what caused this problem, thankfully in Canada its harder to acquire guns especially automatic ones. why america has such easy access to guns especially after the high school shooting a few years ago is beyond me. it only encourages violence. after the shooting news stations would ask people what they felt about the gun laws and shockingly some people said that if the teachers had had guns they would of been able to defend themselves and the chirldren. but you got to ask if a man went into a school with an automatic rifle when the teachers didn't have guns. what kind of weaponry would be needed to when teachers are armed.
the violence displayed in this school on that friday really opened my eyes to the kind of violence present in society. it taught me that even when someone is not provoked intentionally or even at all no matter who you are or how old you are, violence could be apart of your life. I personally find that scary to think about and it makes me question what kind of society we really are living in.
