ROCKFORD, Mich. (WOOD) — After another mass shooting in the United States sent ripples across the country, students across the country are planning walkouts to prompt legislators to take action.
Students in West Michigan are among those considering planning a walkout to urge local and national legislators to take action to keep schools and the general public safe from mass shootings. However, it’s not just the students who want to see things change.
Rockford Public Schools Superintendent Mike Shibler said he believes real change needs to happen, not just political rhetoric.
“We need to come up with some common sense laws, policies that will restrict the purchase of guns to certain people,” Shibler said. “Also to restrict the availability of carrying concealed or open carry sidearms and rifles into schools. It can be done.”
