I wanted to write you about gun control. I like the idea of the teachers having guns and being trained in the schools. I would like to suggest some things I think might help. I think teachers and counselors should have more training in seeing the signs of what a person or child shows before they decide to take lives. I also think if a child has issues it should be a law that the school sends the child to get a psychiatric evaluation to get help. I think some parents don't want to hear that their child needs to see a psychiatrist or some just don't care. I see so many parents that their child does no wrong and no matter what you say they don't do anything. Also, some don’t have any one who is the person that is in charge of their medical or who is the one the school talks to care and won’t do anything so the child is just left behind. If the schools can afford it hire retired vets to protect the schools. I don’t like the raising the age of owning a gun. I don’t know what I would have done if that law was in effect when I was 18. I was a single female who just got out of an abusive relationship who stocked me for 2 and ½ years. If I could have not have had a gun how would I have protected myself. I would be dead right now! He would have broken in; raped and killed me or he would have made sure I would be disabled for the rest of my life. The cops did nothing for me. I would go to them and they did nothing. A gun is the only thing I had to keep me safe from him. This is something you have to think about before you do something like this. I should be able to protect myself. If you raise the age this isn’t going to stop shootings in schools they will find a stolen gun or use something else. Also, you are leaving young women defenseless against evil people. Please think about this it is also how many single moms are defenseless. That is not what should be done.
