I love the fact that Arizona is a right to carry state. I think the biggest thing that people need to think about is this.. Most people that commit crimes with guns did not go to their local Wal-mart and buy a gun and go kill someone. Most people that use guns for violence came across those guns illegally. Whether they were stolen or bought from an illegal arms seller, they were obtained illegally. These are the guns that need to be controlled, not the ones that were legally obtained.

The pro gun control voice could certainly gain influence if they establish a more united voice.The pro-gun rights voice is rapidly gaining influence while the pro-gun control voice has tapered in recent weeks. The pro-gun control voice is split between Obama and several gun control advocacy groups which dilutes the message.

DogPile Original Much like those on the opposite side of the issue, the pro gun control crowd feels an enormous amount of passion towards their cause. They are also an incredibly diverse group. Some of those in the pro gun control movement want to see certain guns taken off the shelves, while others believe that they should be outlawed entirely. There are a number of gun control statistics that these individuals tout to help get their point across. One set of statistics that the pro gun control crowd likes to discuss is the increase in school shootings over the past two decades. Statistics like these are not exactly shocking to people these days, especially with all of the coverage that the mainstream media gives to them when they occur. Paraphrase Those who are pro gun control are rather diverse and feel just as strong about gun regulations as those opposing them. This group consist of people that feel anywhere from no guns being allowed, to only certain guns being allowed. gun control statistics are vast in favor of gun control. For example, school shootings in the past twenty years. Although, these statistics are losing effect on the crowd as they are being over exposed on the media. .

This article talks about four different high school shootings that happen in Arizona. Students are bringing guns to school and are found inside their vehicle. Rumors on social media have been reported to the police thta a student was suspected to bring a gun to school.

Even coming from somebody who carries, I think schools are right to punish a student for having a gun in their car. One because its not allowed, and two because its not allowed! Keep it at home.

I completely agree with students being punished for having guns in cars at school. If it is against the rules then there should be consequences. In my opinion, it is the same has taking a gun to a sporting event or in a hospital, if it is it allowed it is simply not allowed.

I don't like the idea that "gun ownership deters crime." Criminals are criminals, because they don't consider the consequences of their actions.
