Every day we see on the local news the terrible atrocities committed by criminals and believe it won't affect us, but you can't even go to Walmart, Publix etc., today without some degenerate kook looking to harm someone for no apparent reason.There is no where safe today,so why not be prepared in case a serious situation happens. How sad is it that kids can not go to a party, a bar,a dance, even schools, whatever, without some sort of violence happening. When we were younger it never crossed our mind that a shooting would occur. Like I previously stated, the world as we knew growing up has change radically, and for the worse.

I suggest that a far better approach would be to dramatically reduce the number of guns in the USA. The research is clear - if you have a gun you or your family are much more likely to be shot.
