I'm with you. Kids are denied access to sorely needed firearms safety training, which is no different than first aid training or swimming lessons. Then to have companies make money off the fears of parents and kids because the schools and legislature won't do something about school safety, such as enabling teachers to be armed, like they are in Israel. There are NO school shootings in Israel, if you didn't know. It takes all of us, little by little, to help make these needed changes. Thanks for writing.
