Using a gun against someone else doesn't only affect the person it is used against. It can hurt many people around that person. People who loved the person can go into depression, and even commit suicide. Children can be affected deeply, becoming paranoid and going to gun violence themselves. I feel that people who have guns should be responsible, and if people can't do that, maybe it's better not to have guns at all.

Many people want to be able to carry guns around, but they don't realized how having a gun, and needing to use it can affect a child. If everyone was responsible enough for one, than it wouldn't be so bad. Unfortunately, there are gangs,psychopaths, sociopaths, and mentally ill people that will use guns to kill others. These experiences can hurt children a lot. If you impact a child like this, they can grow up with difficulty, and might end up the same way as the shooter they witnessed.

Gun violence is affecting the way people live their lives. People are more cautious, which isn't always bad, but they are also frightened. Living your life being scared is not a good way to live it. The fact that people are expecting to hear a shot is very scary.

Gun violence is a serious threat in the community. So many people are hurt by crazy people with guns nearly everyday.

Because the government is not willing to spend money to protect these birds, the population has decreased by a lot.

It's a clock. It's like preventing students from bringing in cellphones, watches, or other electronic devices because it "could" be a bomb.

It's quite silly that this question is being asked because a boy invented a clock. If it was an actual bomb or another dangerous thing, it would be more understandable, but creating a clock is not something that should be off-limits. He did not present it as a dangerous item, it was the people who misunderstood him (and possibly because of his race).

Although Ahmed never mentioned anything about the clock being something else, he was still suspended. He was just trying to show something interesting that he did, and instead of encouraging and praising him for inventing something himself, they called the police and got him arrested. Then, he was suspended, even though he was not at fault.

Why did teachers assume that the clock was a bomb when he was simply bringing a clock to school? If he was a different ethnicity, would he still have had been arrested?
