We call on our congressmen and our President to pass efficient legislation on those who may purchase assault rifles in this country. We are protesting against gun violence and advocating for more proper gun reform. Over 30,000 people are killed from gun violence every year (particularly over the past decade). An assault rifle that can fire dozens of bullets a minute should not be in the hands of anybody with the vicious intentions, especially at eighteen years old.
Teachers must not be armed with firearms, but rather with the education of firearm safety and consequences of improper use of guns. More education on how to deal with bullying and/or mental illness without resorting to violence needs to be added to the curriculum. The more resources and education there is, the safer the society and environment.
We, the undersigned, urge those in office to pass legislation on who may have access to assault rifles. The time is now. Thousands of people have been killed at the hand of guns, and it doesn't have to happen anymore.
Numerous letters have been written to those who serve us in the United States federal government. If you wish, you may view it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aXm0blBjKTDkK9...

The letters sent to our representatives remain a focal point of our collective efforts. I am currently monitoring the responses from their offices to determine our next course of action.

The momentum behind this initiative continues to grow at an encouraging pace. This collective agreement demonstrates that a significant portion of the public demands meaningful legislative reform regarding firearm access.

Mental health needs to be the focus here instead of just putting more guns into the classroom. sick of hearing about these tragedies every single month.
STOP THE VIOLENCE. TOO MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST ALREADY.
Enough is enough. My kids are terrified to go to school and something needs to change right now.
I do believe issues in public schools should be addressed first and foremost. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
yes i agree with what you are saying i believe that by giving the teachers guns will just cause more problems in are communicate
Thank you for creating this, reform is necessary.
Agreed
