I'm feeling a little nervous because seeing that we go on lockdown all the time for someone coming on campus with, like, guns and stuff, and you see it on the news, like, all the time.

And it's like, oh, that could be me one day.

And I don't know.

It could be like I go to school or I go to the store

and could be my last day.

Personally, I can't say I feel like the government is doing anything

because it seems like with different states, everyone

has their own direction that they go in as far as Texas and, you know, even Georgia, like,

they have open carry. So guns can be visible in stores and stuff like that. Like, there's only a few

places that are off limits, which is kind of scary because you just want to walk somewhere

and you imagine, like, how many people have guns on them right now?

How safe am I in this place?

Coming from the South, I feel like guns are a pretty big part of our culture, so I understand

that the hesitance for gun control will not be taken by everybody.

But I also believe that people should be able to defend themselves with firearms.

But I also think that people shouldn't have AR-15s to do that.

I'm independent, so I'm neither left or right.

And I personally believe that there should be some sort of gun control.

When it comes to gun ban, though, I don't completely agree on that,

but when it comes to politics,

it kind of shocks me overall how at 18, you're not able to drink, you're not able to rent a car,

you're not able to go to the casino or anything like that, but you can easily buy AR-15.
