But Hylton does not think so. It is up to their constituency, not the NRA, she added. Strong controversy between both sides of the gun violence issue is one reason why legislation has been slow to be enacted. While the Second Amendment allows U.S. citizens the right to bear arms, not everyone agrees with who can have a gun. The community can play a direct part in preventing gun violence in their schools.
Parents are an important part of prevention, also.
Davis claims gun violence among children is also related to domestic situations in the home. The family unit has an extremely big impact on the child according to Davis. That is why it is so important to teach children when they are young. This is an issue in which both sides of the gun violence issue share common ground. He adds that possible answers to gun violence include working with parents so there is an understanding of its importance, and requiring parents to lock up guns.
