“The only way to improve safety is to change and improve gun safety laws. For example, at gun shows and auctions, sell guns [only] with an extensive background check and a psychological test to see if the person is stable. I think raising the gun age from 18 to 21 may not approved be at the national level [but] if New Mexico did this, it would be helpful. … I feel that giving teachers guns is not a good idea since a student could overpower the teacher and get the gun. … Younger people showing their voice is important. … Teenagers are showing that we as young people can make a change.”
