In Sovana Dangol’s editorial “Passing law for Carrying Concealed Hand Guns on the Campuses!” she talks about how the Texas Senate is considering on passing a law that would allow individuals to carry concealed handguns to school. Dangol voices her opinion by persuading the readers that this is a bad idea. Not only are professors and students are endangered, schools will no longer be a safe environment to be in.
This is my commentary on Dongol’s editorial:
I completely agree with you about how the public will be affected tremendously if people are allowed to carry concealed handguns to school. If everyone carried guns, chaos and violence are bound to happen anytime at any place. Although I do believe that people should have their own rights to carry a gun, they should not be able to carry it public where they have potential in hurting innocent people. Weapons should only be kept in one’s home where they are able to defend themselves if anything happens. In public, we have police officers who are trained professionals that can help us if we run into any sorts of trouble. Taking matters into our own hands will only stir up more problems.
Of course if the bill is passed, people would still have to be over 21 years of age and must have a handgun license before they are able to carry them to school. Overall, I still think that this is a bad idea. Violence will eventually increase and will just leave the public in fear. In my opinion, I think the bill should not be passed because we already deal with a lot of school shootings and we surely do not need more of them. The safer the environment, the better place it will be to live in.
