mgdzkm433, I am impressed and no offense intended, but your posts make me question your claim of being 23 years old. You hit the actual drop in the number of school shootings that has been occurring, but due to media coverage we are more aware of it. You are correct that gun deaths would drop if guns were banned, but then auto accidents deaths would drop if we banned cars and drunk driving deaths would drop if we reinstituted prohibition. Your hunting reference brought back the memory of two counties in Pa. a few years ago. The city folk want to live in the country, but somehow hope to take city values with them. Enough moved to pass a ban on deer hunting in the two counties. After three years of wildly increasing auto/deer accidents they wised up and allowed hunting to continue. I would like to point out that although I do not hunt, I am a shooter, I fully support hunting programs and the benefit to wildlife conservation that those who do hunt provide. I appreciate the independent source supporting your statements as well.
