Research Topic

Hey pal! Let me tell you about my NHD project. It's on school shootings in America, and how they can be prevented. I learned that it is way too easy to get guns and schools do not have enough security. Overall, I think that the government and the community needs to make a change. More laws should be passed, and there should be a bigger emphasis on protecting America's future.



My research topic is gun control today in America and how it affects school shootings. Throughout my preliminary research this year, I have realized how big of an issue this is today, especially with the recent tragedies like the VT shooting and Sandy Hook. I have learned how shockingly easy it is to obtain weapons, even with the recent crackdown last year. I have also learned that the kinds of people that commit these crimes often have some type of anxiety/depression or something along those lines. The thesis that I have formulated over these few months is that violence by way of school shootings is an issue in America today that affects many people. More laws need to be carried out that prevent guns from getting into the hands of people that are capable of committing these heinous crimes, and that protect children at school.
