My National History Day Project is all about the second amendment (right to bare arms) and how it is intertwined with school shootings. I chose this topic because it is one of the most hot-button issues in our society today, especially with recent tragedies like the Aurora movie theater shooing, Sandy Hook, and the Boston Marathon bombings. My research focuses in on events like Columbine, Sandy Hook, and the VT shooting, analyzing different aspects of each.
You should care about this topic more than any other NHD project at EHS, or anywhere for that matter. Nothing even touches the importance of this one. What if a strange man burst into your classroom with an automatic weapon and killed you and your friends? What if in thirty years the same happens to your children. The point is, school shootings are a heck of a lot more important that fracking (sorry Norton Field Guide, you had it coming).
This week, I am checking out my sources, revising my annotations, and maybe even adding a few new ones. I will make some notecards for my topics and gain an even deeper understanding of my topic.

I also agree that a topic on the right to bare arms and how it deals with school shootings is very important. I believe the research on your topic should be used to inform other schools and communities in our society to help prevent these ridiculous shootings and bombings in the future.
