L.A. shooting proves need for gun safety classes

The willy-nilly shooting down of elementary students at a bus stop this evening in Los Angeles is absolute proof of the need to start mandatory hunter safety classes in elementary school gymnasiums. Arming all the students and training them how to shoot more safely would make these types of accidents less likely. It would also be a good idea to arm the elementary teachers who could rush out of the buildings and shoot down the culprits in future such incidents. I know Mrs. Bourdeau, my 4th grade teacher, would have loved to have a few shots at errant passers-by.

LOS ANGELES - A gunman fired into a crowd of children and adults at a South Los Angeles bus stop Wednesday, wounding eight, authorities said. Three girls, ages 10 to 12, and a woman were in critical condition.

The gunman ran away, and streets in the area were shut down as numerous police officers rushed in.

Remember if all of those people at the bus stop had their guns they would all shoot back. Someone would hit that guy and then the cops would not have to spend alot of time looking for him.
