Up and Coming MGA Topics - Maddie Long



            With the many events occurring in the world lately, one could think gun laws/safety will be a popular topic at MGA this year. Everyone has a very voiced opinion on this topic and it needs to be worked on. Should someone feel safe going to get food after school with friends? Should someone feel safe in their school? Should someone feel safe in their school? Should someone feel safe in an amusement park full of people? They should, but the gun issues we’re having a lot of people cannot. Things could be changed.
            In House Bill No. 12 discusses that any person 21 years of age or older, or 18 years of age or older and have been or currently in military duty. The patron of this bill is Faith Christian School. I interviewed Rachel Hall to discuss more of her outlook on this bill. Having a strong feeling on gun safety in schools, Rachel was asked about helping gun safety in schools using this bill. She says that this bill would not affect high school safety. This bill is more for college campuses and college aged students since it is an individual safety precaution. Refer to bill #8 that talks about allowing guns on college campuses.

            Rachel is for this bill. She says that if we are trusting these men and women to fight with bigger weapons, then they should have the right to carry and purchase an armed weapon. She thinks that this bill will go far in MGA, but it is “common sense”.
