I know the comment boards on different sites are a breeding ground for ignorance as well as insight,but, I couldn't help posting on one of them. Hope I didn't let us down:

Statistics will show what the statistician wants them to show. Look at it from this perspective: Those that have been licensed to carry firearms are simply continuing to do so observing the laws they were educated on and tested for proficiency in the first case. We trust teachers to guide the minds of our children and in so doing their lives. Education about responsible firearm safety certainly should begin at home. You are doing a disservice to your children by sheltering them from the unfortunate reality that harm can come to them at any time, anywhere. When will we owe up to this? Take a basic safety course, go with an experienced shooter to a range, enjoy yourself and enjoy this sport. If it's not for you that's fine. The knowledge (facts) gained will be worth it. This is a tool folks just as much as a car jack. I don't drive around hoping to God I get a flat just so I can use it just the same as I don't walk the streets hoping I have to "slap leather". Nothing could be further from the truth. It's all about self and situational awareness and personal safety. Find a list of school shootings and tabulate out how many were indeed caused by a student disarming a teacher to cause such tragedies, 'mmmkay?
