I believe that ppl should be able to carry firearms if they think that it can benefit them and other ppl. Say someone tries to kidnap you or another person, if they have a weapon (gun, knife, etc) then you should first, confront them and try to not let anyone get hurt, but if you feel that you or another person is in danger of their life, then you should be able to have a weapon to protect yourself. Also if you are being robbed, dont do the stupid Tik tok thing where you just say "no" then they cant legally take your stuff, what they are doing is illegal in the first place and they will not care. If you feel like your life is threatened you should be able to defend yourself. But on the school shootings topic, the only ppl that should be allowed to have a weapon is the cops/guards. I also think that they should not even pull their gun in the first place, they should only pull a Taser if needed. The second amendment says we can bear arms, and we should be able too. But the problem is that you can always go and buy a weapon from the black market so even if you take away the second amendment ppl will still be able to have guns. Even though they are evil, horrid, and disgusting, we will never be able to end church/school shootings. If we cant legally have guns, then criminals already dont care about the law, and they will still be able to get guns. Overall, it is better for ppl that want too to be able to carry a firearm, but they should have to have a thorough background check first. I am sorry if you dont agree, but that is how I feel.
