Argument Essay

Your argumentYES Teachers should be allowed

to because they are in the classroom with the students

To keep the students safe They should have to be

trained and many security guards have training (not teachers, only security)

If “criminal” knows there is guns in a school they might pick a different one

Possibly use a different kind of non-lethal bullet

There would need to be security in place for the guns (safe, etc.)

There should be guns in the school, but not in the classroom and specially trained people can have access to them

NO You may not know

enough about a person’s background to trust them carrying a gun

There will be more access to weapons in a school with guns (criminal knows that)

There could be accidents Students could get

access to the guns if they know they’re in the building
