Why wouldn't we want more kids to carry guns to school to protect themselves? Shouldn't kids be allowed to protect themselves?

No, kids should not be allowed to carry guns to school. Children need to be protected, and allowing them to bring weapons with them is far too risky. Not only could accidents happen if the weapon is misused or mishandled, but there is also the potential for guns being taken by other students or used against teachers and staff. We need to do whatever we can to protect our kids from harm and prevent any more school shootings from happening.

We would not want more kids to carry guns to school for a number of reasons. The risk of accidental shootings and the potential for weapons falling into the wrong hands create an unsafe environment. In addition, relying on children to protect themselves is not a long-term solution; it does not address the root causes of school violence, nor does it provide real solutions.
