The question remaining from the Second Amendment is if the document still remains relevant and if so does it entail or law bodies to go against modern society.
One of the main reasons the topic of gun control has become so popular in our media and personal lives is the mass shooting at schools and other public places. Some examples of these shooting could be the Columbine shooting, the shooting at Sandy Hook, and even the Aurora shooting. More and more these type events are popping up on our television screens, casting the audience into disbelief. These type of events are extremely cruel and unbelievable, and some even doubt they happened. There has been a recent Youtube movement of saying the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. Whether you believe the documentary or not, their main point is that the government is using these events to push for gun control. Should there be a few freak accidents and everyone loses their logic? Some research says that mass school shootings are the worst possible reasons to support gun control (Kleck). The main shooting that they use for their research is that of the Columbine incident. The research says that gun control laws will not prevent and type of mass shooting, whether strictly enforced or not. One of the big topics in the gun control debate is that of owning weapons that possess the automatic fire option. The problem with this argument is that none of the weapons, of the four, had the ability to automatically fire (Kleck). Possibly, the gun control debate won't even make a dent in mass murder incidents. The New York Times also erroneously wrote that the Columbine shooting displayed "the largest death toll in an act of terrorism at one of the nation's schools." Actually, this was wrong and the event didn't even involve guns, it involved bombs. .
The actual event can be quoted from Gary Klecks work, "On May 18, 1927, farmer Andrew Kehoe set off a series of explosions in the Bath Consolidated School in Michigan, killing 45 and injuring another 58 mostly schoolchildren.
