The United States of America ranks first in the world for many reasons. The United States has more top ten universities than any other country (Bridgestock), the most medals in the Olympics since the beginning, the most powerful military (Johnson), the five largest companies and fourteen of the brands the most valuable in the world (Wile). ), but the United States is also number one in one of the most unacceptable categories. The United States has the highest number of school massacres in the world. School massacres are evident and pose dangers to campuses across the country. The worst school massacre in the United States did not involve a shooting, it was a bombing that killed more than forty people. While school murders represent less than one percent of all teenage homicides and suicides. During my first semester of college, I learned something very important in one of my political science classes. During a debate over allowing concealed baggage on campus, I learned that the average police response time was over nine minutes. A massacre will be over before the police even arrive on the scene. More school shootings end in a shootout with police or suicide by the mutilator. In both cases, the massacre of innocent civilians is over before the police arrive and have time to respond to the situation. Some attempts to exterminate the inhabitants of a school have been known to occur simply because the killer has developed an appetite for masculinity or for power and control over people. Allowing concealed weapons is the right solution because the idea of ​​people being able to defend themselves can deter a murderer. A power-addicted psychopath will not feel very powerful or in control if there is a possibility that he will be the target of a few guns, which former students would not have brandished, when he attempts to commit an act. of terrorism. Allowing concealed carry of weapons may deprive the irrational butcher of perceived power before he decides to act. Rationality can be restored before lives are taken and psychiatric assistance could possibly be provided to the troubled soul. There is no guarantee that this will stop any disturbed person from relentlessly pursuing fear of helpless humans. The only way to stop someone like this from killing is to disarm him before he can kill everyone in sight. A person with a concealed weapon may be able to diffuse the situation before there are casualties.
