Guns Shouldn't Be Used My Everybody

Guns Should Be Used By Licensed Owners Only On December 14, 2012 twenty six people- 20 students and six adults- were shot and killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut. The classes were under way at the school and approximately 700 students were present. Earlier that year, the school principal ordered a new security system installed that requires visitors to be visibly identified and buzzed in. As part of the system, the school locked its doors each day at 9:30 a.m. When the gunman arrived, the door was looked and literally shot an entrance into the building. The school psychologist Mary Sherlach and vice principal Natalie Hammond went out to investigate and only Hammond returned from the hallway alive but wounded. At around 9:35 a.m., announcements were read over the loudspeaker to the students, and shots were heard across the school. Students described being rushed into bathrooms and closets by teachers after hearing the first shots. In one classroom was Lauren Rosseau, a substitute teacher who was filling in for a teacher on maternity leave, the gunman shot all 14 students in the classroom. In another classroom was Victoria Soto who moved her first-grade students away from the door and the gunman burst in and shot her, according to the father of a surviving student, six children were killed in that classroom. Dispatchers from the police station began to take calls from inside the school at approximately 9:40 a.m. and police arrived on scene about 20 minutes after the first calls. Police reported that no law enforcement officers discharged their weapons at any point. The gunman killed himself. He took out a handgun and shot himself in a classroom as law enforcement officers approached. Twenty students, ages 6 and 8, and six adults were killed at the school. I think people shouldn’t be able to use a gun because some people don’t know how to handle one and use them at appropriate times3 Even though in
