Gun Loco 0
A study by the Associated Press gives evidence that more guns in more schools will not the be panacea the NRA claims it will. Here’s a snippet:
Yet in a span of 48 hours in March, the three were responsible for gun safety lapses that put students in danger.
The school police officer accidentally fired his gun in his Virginia office, sending a bullet through a wall into a middle school classroom. The teacher was demonstrating firearm safety in California when he mistakenly put a round in the ceiling, injuring three students who were hit by falling debris. And the sheriff left a loaded service weapon in a locker room at a Michigan middle school, where a sixth-grader found it.
Indeed, casual reading of the newspapers shows that more guns seldom solves a problem. Facts, though, will certainly not be allowed to interfere with the NRA’s worship of their steel idol.
