3. Why is this topic interesting to you? Why do you care about this topic?
-This topic interests me because there’s been a lot of school shootings happening but it used to be not as often that I heard about them. Each time when I hear about things that shootings have occurred, the more fear that it creates. It also made me aware of how much America isn’t as safe as I thought or just the community around me. Each time I think about how people are allowed to carry guns around makes me feel unsafe. I’m curious what the shooters were thinking when they planned to take the action. Why did they target kids? What is the purpose for them? The way the government has reacted, will it cause more problems in the future?
