Gun Control In Schools Pros And Cons
After the Columbine High School Shooting, the government partly put stricter regulations on gun control. The guns that had been used within the killing "had been sold from Colorado gun-show tables in 1998 by private sellers who took no names, required no signature, and called nobody for a background check” (CITE). This sparked outrage, and within a week after the Columbine High School Shooting, “President Clinton introduced legislation banning private weapons sales at gun shows” (CITE). However, when it got to The U.S. Senate, they “voted to reject Clinton's gun-show bill, then passed it two days later after a public outcry” (CITE). Within Clintons presidency, he created harsher restrictions regarding gun control to better the publics security.
