This is a website which I found off
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/12/us/a-face-off-outside-dallas-in-the-escalating-battle-over-texas-gun-culture.html?_r=0
This site is written by an organisation made up of mum who believe that they find guns very intimidating and don't think that they are necessary to have carrying on them at all times. They believe that guns pose too much if a danger and can be a huge safety hazard. There have been many many incidents where there have been terrible shootings killing over ten people at a time. This organisation believe that this should not even be possible and would like guns to be banned.
I can understand the point of view of everyone int he organisation. As carrying guns can pose a threat and result in deaths even if it wasn't intentional, anything could happen and they pose too much of a risk. Many teacher say that they wish to have firearms in the school desks but the risks I believe in a school especially are too high. As although the teacher says that they would be able to protect the children there are other ways to protect them. Firearms are not needed and it only takes a child to accidentally come across it when their unsupervised and result by accidentally killing another child. An accident which could have been prevented.

This website links to the moms demand action group. This group all held a protest to make an impression and whilst the moms demand action group where having a meeting on mass the group of open carry Texas came to the parking lot with their guns to prove a point. How it is fine to hold arms in public and if people wish too as the laws says they are allowed to they believe that they should be able to. On the site page for the open carry Texas they state how they want to make sure people feel comfortable around them whilst they are carrying their guns.
On the website it presents what their aims are and these are all very legit. Some people in America feel that they are safer carrying a dun around with them as it makes them feel safe and secure. In the past there have been many shootings and people whom have been involved have said that if they where allowed to carry a gun in their purse, freely and openly, they would have been able to help minimise the death toll.
Can this be argued as a good point to carry a firearm with you at all times? The chances of mass shootings happening is very low it does not happen all of the time and here are services who can come, such as the police, within minutes to help sort out the situation. It also suggests that the people who carry firearms would be able to cope with the possible chance that they could kill someone and live with that.
