Gun Control and Societal Factors Surrounding it Gun control is a heated topic with many opinions only further complicating the matter. But one thing is clear: people are dying and nothing notable is being done about it. Schools appear to be at an elevated risk for gun violence, as troubled students have access to weapons of military caliber. If nothing gets done, our nation’s tragic history will only escalate; if something is done, however, many will insist that regulations “infringe” their rights to bear arms.
