Essay on gun debate

In the recent years, there have been cases of increased attack by a terrorist in the campus and colleges were majority lose a life while a few escapes with injuries which could be a bad image to the nation because it’s her mandate to protect its citizens (Carlson & Jennifer, 369-377). Some states have set rules and regulations that allow concealed carry of guns in the colleges for the purpose of self-defense, for example, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin well many nations do not allow this because of believed to be a threat to the national security. There has been I debate on whether students with possession of guns should be allowed in colleges and the impact it may have on the nation or the colleges.

Many scholars have discredited the idea while a few others are in support of the idea. This essay paper will focus on the reasons for concealed gunfire and the reason why it should not be accepted at all (Thompson et al. The enactment of the various carry laws can be said to have reduced crime rates in the colleges at a higher rate and thus it could be supported and legalized (Rasmussen et al. Therefore, the main reason for concealed carry laws can be said to be for personal defense in states where security is not much guaranteed thus it helps reduce cases of human assaults and victimization of any type. Though to many people who are not familiar to such situation it can have a negative impact because it provides a harsh learning environment for some people (Carlson & Jennifer, 369-377).

In another view, some scholars and research do not support the carry laws on the campus for some reason. For example, there are many problems in the society which are given different approach by people, for example, we have various cases of suicide in the society which can be as a result of stress, stigmatization or other social problems like family problems (Spitzer & Robert, 57-84). In others cases where a violation of human rights and human assaults are common like sexual assault, human trafficking, as well as adult victimization, are common then this law is a good defensive measure to this issue and thus the law should be encouraged and legalized, (Sulkowski et al. Generally, this law is very important to learners while still in the institution because they are assured of their personal security while still in the school environment as well as when they are undertaking their daily business or when they are fulfilling their spirit of adventure in different places In a negative few according to research, concealed laws can be a way of increasing or promoting death in colleges because it provides an alternative for individuals who have been thinking of committing suicidal acts (Thompson et al.

Thus, for the purpose of the students and protection of all members in the colleges then carry laws should not approve but the state should take that initiative of providing security to the people. The college should also form councils that guide students to avoid cases of suicidal death due to social problems like stress, and isolation. Although concealed carry law is legalized and constituted in some countries and states, the demerits attached to this law outweigh the merits in a big margin and thus though it’s a good attempt to improve both national and personal security it is more dangerous to the state in case of conflict and misunderstanding because it can lead to the loss of innocent lives.
