They think weapons belong to people trained to use them for a specific purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other countries like Canada, rifles are usually reserved for hunting, and people usually see a handgun on the belts of police officers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, my position on the subject is a reflection of a given culture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why people in America trust their rifles so much would be the topic for another discussion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people say that owning a weapon is taking more responsibility for their own security. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To come back to school, I think it is better to reinforce the security system than arming individuals themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The security guards and the school police units are doing a good job so far. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I understand the fear of some people but let\u2019s not add to the problem by introducing weapons where they don\u2019t belong.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should guns be allowed on the campuses of public, private colleges and universities?
