Why Is It Ethical To Have A Loaded Gun In Schools?

In the late 90’s it wasn’t too common to hear about a student bringing in a loaded gun to school. In the case of the two students arrested on gun charges is a different story. It was the beginning of the school year, so there shouldn’t have been any quarrels. However, in Clearwater, Florida local high schools have been receiving bomb threats and fights have been breaking out at different schools in Pinellas County, Florida but that didn’t stop Christopher Bloom and Christopher Brown from bringing a gun to school. In our days it’s becoming more and more popular that there are people shooting up schools and malls. In the case involving two students arrested on gun charges one student had a .22 caliber handgun on the school grounds. The gun was found in Bloom possession. Bloom already has a prior record for
burglary, shoplifting, petty larceny and grand larceny.
The ethical decisions involved in the case with Christopher Bloom and Brown arrested on gun charges were those normative ethics and imperfect duties. Webster defines ethical as a conforming to a standard of what is right and good. The first ethical decision that both Bloom and Brown did wrong that day was bringing a loaded weapon to school. After police officers got a tip from students at the Clearwater high school that there was a gun in a student’s book bag. The officers concluded that it was Christopher Bloom, he was searched by police officers that day was they found bullets in his pocket. So the normative ethical thing for Bloom and Brown to do in this situation would have been to not bring the caliber gun to school. If they did bring it to school, which they did then they should have left it in their car. The charges that Bloom and Brown have to
make it difficult for society to trust them and this is before the gun incident occurred. Bloom was charged with burglary, battery, petty larceny and grand larceny. Before the gun incident happened but it’s like we don’t know if he was going to beat somebody up and then threaten them with a gun. Brown was charged burglary, grand larceny, and larceny almost the same charges as Bloom. We don’t know if their partners in crime or they commit the crimes separately. Bloom and Brown didn’t plan out whatever they were going to do with the gun. The plan was not thought out thoroughly which you would call it an imperfect duty; they brought the gun on impulse and didn’t plan out the whole situation. It’s still unclear from the reading as to why Bloom brought a .22 caliber gun to school. We can conclude that he wasn’t going to use it for good intentions, due to his prior records.
