In the year 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut 20 children and six adults were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As from January 2014, to December 2017, there has being a least one instance of gun violence in a school in America every month except for only six months (Campion, Edward W., et al. 1681).This together with other breathtaking statistics compiled by The Gun Violence Archive explains the risk that Americans particularly students are subjected to with circulation of guns in the streets.
