Washington Post

       The post from the Washington Post, White House softens tone on gun-control measures after Trump meets with NRA, by David Nakamura has shown some major issues in what had been said by President Trump. President Trump had mentioned that he believes that all teachers should be armed with a gun to prevent major issues like that incident that had just happened at Parkland, Florida with Nikolas Cruz shooting 17 students. As I talked about in my last post I still do not feel like teachers should have guns, we should leave the guns to the pros like the police officers. Even though in the last post the deputy who was on at the school did not do anything I still feel like teachers are not fully trained enough to be able to have a gun. The teachers in my opinion would be more scared to shoot at a student especially if they know who the student is. It would give the teachers more of a higher authority and even so something scary could happen with a teacher having a gun. With the zero experience that certain teachers may have with guns it could actually cause them to feel like they have more power and it may even get to their heads and cause more issues.

      I think it is a good idea to raise the age limit on being able to purchase a gun. Personally, I still feel like 21 is such a young age to purchase a gun. I still feel like people are not very mature to maintain and handle a gun, especially in a serious situations. A person who is that young I still feel like would be scared and frightened and would not know how to handle a situation if they needed too. I would probably changed the age to at least 25 years old because at that age I feel like the brain is actually more developed and could handle the situation at the time being verses the age of 18/21 years old.
