One More Thing About Guns and Schools

A final thought about guns and schools. What about the kids? 5 year olds, 9 year olds and teenagers often have enough on their plates and some of them already are living in enough fear and/or chaos. Adding weapons to any school building, be it elementary school, high school or college, is bound to un-nerve more students than we can possibly imagine.

Adding more guns to the classroom is not the answer. Settling disputes or corralling ones anger shouldn't be accomplished with the parties taking to assault weapons, rifles or handguns. Yes, stopping violence and the killing is crucial but not at the expense of millions of students who don't need more fear in their lives.

We can make the classroom and schools a place for learning without arming them to the teeth.
