I agree with Ruben on his opinion that school shootings is a prevalent topic in US society, but it has been for years, maybe even decades now. It is something that unfortunately we keep seeing year after year in the news and in my opinion it is unbelievable how the government won’t do anything to change this situation. It is obvious that laws like the Texas Senate Bill 11 are not really laws that will improve this situation.
How can people and legislators actually think that allowing teachers and students over 21 years of age carry a concealed weapon will be the route to stop these massacres from occurring? Gun regulation is a more believable way to stop these shootings from happening, but as Ruben mentions in his blog post, it is something that has zero probability to happen, especially in the state of Texas. It is frustrating and sad how this is something that could basically happen to anybody but the government and legislators refuse to take real action towards this problem of society.
Even when this Bill 11 has gone through different amendments since the day it was first proposed in 2015, its clear how none of these changes is the solution that the society needs. It shouldn't be a normal thing for people to have automatic weapons at home and for basically anyone to be able to own one.
