    Gun violence has reached our Indian Schools; No longer just a USA Problem

    For all his immature actions, there was one statement made by President Donald Trump that we can agree with. The heinous acts of opening fire on unarmed, innocent civilians portray a deep-rooted mental health problem, a problem that reflects on the inadequate upbringing of a child.


    Digital Desk color:#0E101A">: An eighteen-year-old boy carried a firearm to his school in
    Jacobpura, Gurgaon putting 600 other school children in impending danger.





                 



    color:#0E101A">What is more disturbing is that he brought the firearm to school
    to show it off to his mates..



     



    color:#0E101A">While the boy and his friend from whom he took the gun have been
    arrested, this new anomaly in violence troubling our schools and putting our
    children in distress seems only to be gaining momentum.



     



    color:#0E101A">The previous month, a similar incident occurred when a teenager,
    aged about 17, walked into the principal’s office in Swami Vivekananda School
    in Yamuna Nagar and shot her three times. A few hours later, the principal died
    in a private hospital. The principal refused to accept his late project report
    submission following his record of dropping class attendance due to which the
    boy got angry and shot her dead.

    color:#0E101A">A recent report estimated the number of firearms in the hands of
    Indian civilians to be as many as 40 million, of which only 6.3 million are
    registered weapons. 



     



    color:#0E101A">The news of Ponty Chadha, the liquor baron, being gunned down at
    his family farmhouse near New Delhi by his brother did the rounds a few months
    ago or that of Jessica Lal, Pramod Mahajan, Journalist Jyotirmey Dey and
    Gulshan Kumar, and a few prominent victims. 



     



    color:#0E101A">When this problem crosses the entrance of schools where our
    children are supposed to be safe - a second home away from home, there is
    nothing to feel except heartbroken and helpless.



      



    color:#0E101A">India needs to introduce stricter punishments for owning firearms
    illegally. In present time, our laws are lenient for illegal possession. Still,
    this July, the Indian Cabinet has ordered that a verification report has to be
    looked for by the police before issuing gun licenses. While the debate on both
    sides of the gun ownership fence is strong, there is no contest that an
    increased number of firearms in the hands of civilians can only lead to more
    life threatening danger.



    color:#0E101A">  



    color:#0E101A">We cannot be inattentive when teenagers are waving around guns
    in their classrooms instead of tiffin boxes.
    The matter needs
    immediate attention and solutions needed to be found out as soon as possible.
