I agree with Gray Mage and Zenith about the parent issues. As a parent of 3 kids, I do not want my kids going to school with a gun because of someone picking on them. I do not let my kids watch any violent movies or play any violent video games. They do not watch me play my games that I play on the computer. I do not allow it. I have also showed them other ways of releasing their anger besides in a violent way. Now that my son is the school and I see the shootings that happen in other schools, it worries me. We own guns but my kids are being taught the safe ways of handling them and what can happen if they are not handled properly. We do not leave our guns out for our children to get and they are not loaded. When other people come to our house, our guns are locked up. We make sure of that so other kids that do not know about guns, cannot get to them. We take every safety route that we can when it comes to our guns. I wish that parents would take more time to show our children what guns are capable of. We cannot blame the gun, it did not load itself and shoot someone. I know that we can't blame everything on the parents but we as parents need to be more active in our children's lives. I hope that I didn't offend anyone. I guess I am lucky to be able to stay home with my kids and I hope that I am teaching them the right things.
