In this article former governor Sarah Palin talks about why gun free zones are not a good idea. She feels that if more trusted people carry firearms in public public buildings it would reduce the number of lethal shootings. Another thing that she talks about is how the current counter terrorism efforts are lacking.
It does not connect to what I am currently learning. However, it does go along with what I learned last semester in Civics and Economics. I learned about the different amendments which is what this article mostly is based around.
I am for trusted people carrying guns in public buildings. I think that if more people that are trusted carry firearms it would cut back the number of shootings. This would be due to the people being able to fight back if someone would happen to attempt a shooting.
The author supports his claim by directly quoting what Sarah Palin said during her speech. She said, “Maybe our kids could be defended against criminals on the spot if more Mama Grizzlies carried [guns].” This proves that Sarah Palin feels that teachers specifically should have guns to protect the students. She goes on to say, “Yeah, I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.” This shows how she doesn't only speak about it but she actually lives it by caring a gun with her.
