And it appears that all 22 kids are going to live. That keeps being left out of the discussion. You have a much greater chance of surviving a knife attack that a gun shot wound.

But if we take a closer look at mental health issues in this country we might be able to identify and deal with some of the people that commit these acts before they have a chance.
One of the benefits of Obama care is that these people may actually be able to get some help.

And if we get rid of the "gun free zones" we might give those being attacked a fighting chance.
I disagree. I can assure you that if every teacher in the country started bringing guns to their classrooms, the accidental discharges, kids finding the guns and shooting classmates, etc would be disastrous.
