Gun Control U.S.

Following the shooting that took place Friday morning at Sandy Hook Elementary, the issue of how to stop unstable individuals from being able to possess guns in the United States is on the minds of millions of Americans. At this point in time, it's too easy for anybody to get a hold of a firearm in the United States. Individuals with extreme mental illness find a way to get their hands on guns. I believe the solution to prevent school shootings is beefing up school security and making it a law to require schools to have one combat-trained employee who carries a firearm. The little extra tax money required in each community for this costly law could prove to be a literal lifesaver. Gun control laws will not stop people who want guns (criminals, mentally-ill individuals) from getting guns. Gun control laws aren't the solution to this issue, but it remains the government's responsibility to protect students at school.
