The ongoing debate on gun violence is continuing to raise controversy among the American people as school shootings and threats of shootings heighten panic among students and parents alike, leaving many concerned about whether their child’s life will be at risk every time they walk onto a school campus. On September 4, 2024, at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia CNN News reported that a 14-year-old teenage boy killed two fourteen-year-old students and two teachers, leaving nine others wounded with an AR-15 style rifle. This young boy, barely a teen, attained ownership of the AR-15 style rifle as a Christmas present from his dad. In no world should it be legal for a teenager to own such a gun, and no parent should be allowed to purchase this deadly weapon for their child. This recent Georgia school shooting is marked as the deadliest of the forty-five school shootings that have occurred thus far in 2024.
