A Gun-Free Zone?

     The American government has promised to prevent mass shootings through gun control by limiting gun types and the number of guns that can be sold to buyers. As the article says, the type or number of guns that people have might not be the problem: it's about where these "gun-free" locations are available to criminals. A large majority of mass shootings (Virginia Tech, Delaware State University, Sandy Hook Connecticut, Aurora Colorado Shooting) have occurred in places that are "gun-free." People from these "gun-free" zones are concerned that signs showing that the area is gun-free leaves them vulnerable. 

Though guns are seen as a huge problem in today's time, it is the states' rights to decide whether or not to establish a system of gun control. In the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment clearly states, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms... shall not be infringed." The people should be able to defend themselves in order to prevent falling victim to a world of criminals.
