The facts are very interesting and the statistics are a little scary. This information means that the community needs to cut down on the ability for underage children to be able to come in contact with guns. This is good!

At GHCHS there is little to none gun violence *knock on wood* and if there is I am oblivious. These facts worry me. I do not feel students should be able to get their hands on guns. Having a gun at school is not helping anyone though I do acknowledge the sense of security one might feel with a gun at a more troubled school than Granada.

"At least 20 to 30 students are killed in school shootings nationwide each year."
This statistic is interesting because the media covers little to none of these tragedies. If more people were exposed to this statistic, then more action might be taken to end all school shootings.
