The United States bears the title of having the highest rates of gun-related murder and manslaughter globally. This issue has permeated our society so deeply that even our schools are not spared from its devastating consequences.

What's truly disturbing is the pattern we observe after each shooting incident: the stocks of gun manufacturers skyrocket, with people easily turning non-automatic guns into automatic ones by purchasing add-ons on eBay. To make matters worse, the government's response is to consider arming teachers. The urgency is crystal clear – it's time to disarm this disturbing paradox and march for our lives.
