Umpqua Community College

Today in Human Geo we talked about the Oregon shooting that happened yesterday at Umpqua Community College. Mr. Schick told us about how he used to go there for college, and it was really kind of shocking, especially for him, because that was his old school. We talked a lot about what happened and how many people died and how many people were injured (over 20 people involved). We talked a lot about gun control and if there was any way we could fix this problem, because school shootings are just such a "common" thing for us that we don't even think too much about it anymore, we just shrug our shoulders and move on. This should change, it's kinda sad that America has the highest rate of people killed with guns than any other country. Some ideas of how to solve this problem we talked about were: more background checks, more expensive bullets, and more gun control laws. Mr. Schick's daughter also came into class for the discussion and everything and that was really cool. We also found out that you can just buy a gun off amazon, and literally get it to your house in a day. America can be really scary and we just need all the more good in the world as we can get, because God knows there's too much bad.
