In wake of all the recent mass shootings, as well as school shootings, I believe there needs to be a stricter policy on gun control.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I understand adults keep a gun in their homes for security purposes, as well as for hunting or just shooting at targets in the woods. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Yet there doesn\u2019t seem to be any rule changes when it comes to purchasing a gun. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n I understand the fact that it isn\u2019t easy to point out a mental illness from someone who looks and may act perfectly normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n But we need stronger, more thorough background checks <\/span>to ensure guns don\u2019t fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Also, keeping guns safe and locked up in the house with children or teenagers present is very important. Children don\u2019t know the capability they have to do serious damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n There have been incidents of kids in elementary school bringing guns to school, not knowing how dangerous they are. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n There also have been reports of children actually shooting themselves, unaware of how to work a gun. Parents don\u2019t lock up their guns.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Having stricter policies on guns is more important than what most people may think. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n With these rules being more informed and enforced, I believe we can lower gun violence, especially mass shootings that have been occurring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2013 Kylie Dalton<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In wake of all the recent mass shootings, as well as school shootings, I believe there needs to be a stricter policy on gun control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-5869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5869"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5869\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5869"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=5869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
