Students could take the gun from their teacher. Teachers's gun training is not enough.  

 Points, Pros & Cons of gun control  + Gun control laws are racist: current gun control laws are often aimed at black communities who are perceived as more dangerous than white owners. More gun control laws are unnecessary: few people are killed by guns. Gun control laws won't prevent criminals getting guns. More gun control laws is not needed, but gun education is to prevent gun deaths.  Less crimes in the USA are committed, because if a criminal breaks into (rentre par effraction) a house, he can be killed. 95 % gun owners thought children should learn about gun safety. So everyone could own a gun. According to the NRA, guns are used for self defense, 2.5 million times a year. - More gun control laws would reduce the number of deaths. Guns are rarely used in self-defense. Carrying a gun can lead to violence.

  At first, we could see things, and we could see 2017 (twenty seventeen) written on top of the photo, and then we deduced it was a calendar. After that, we could see 10 months. In the calendar, we could see gray squares.  At first we thought those were terrorist attacks. But those squares really represented threats of the year in the USA. These attacks were mass shootings.  A mass shooting is an attack by a single person that kills or injures 4 people or more.
