Do you think kids should be allowed to take guns to school for protection?

No, I do not believe that kids should be allowed to take guns to school for protection. I understand that our schools need safety measures in place, but gun carrying should be left to the adults and law enforcement officials. For one thing, kids are not mature enough or skilled enough to wield a firearm safely - they could harm someone unintentionally and have no idea how serious the consequences could be. For another, gun violence in schools has only been exacerbated when it has happened- from Columbine to more recent events such as Parkland- those involved were armed students or adults with weapons who were not legally permitted to have them.  Kids should feel safe at school and gun control is the most effective way of achieving that- arming them isn't likely going ot produce any positive results.

It is dangerous for kids to take guns to school for protection, as it can create an unstable situation and potentially lead to risky violence. Students should be safe within the school premises regardless of whether they bring a gun or not and thus guns should not be allowed on school grounds.
