Another issue I thought of when reading the timeline was where kids are getting these guns. I watched the film Bowling for Columbine for one of my movie reviews and was instantly reminded of while reading this. When I saw the movie, I wasn’t exactly agreeing or disagreeing with Michael Moore (the reason being I didn’t know whether to believe the film or not; the facts seem so blown out of proportion). This whole thing just go backs to the issue of gun control and gun laws in general.
I don’t know if I’ll cover this in my paper. I’m sure I’ll touch upon it, but I don’t want my paper to turn into an entire report about it. My topic is school assessment after all. But, after looking at this timeline, school violence and gun control just seem to go hand in hand.
Even more so than guns, the psychology of it all was confusing me. Just what is it that causes people to do these things? Obviously there’s no one answer, and there can be a million different factors. I’m sure every case is different in some way. I feel like I’m going to go into this too once I start writing the anecdotes and other portions of the paper.
