schools and guns

Hardened schools, Ron.  Full of hardened children?

I wonder whether, instead of being all hand-wringing about the NRA, we ought to wring our hands about how easily legislation can be bought.  Any special-interest group with a treasury the size of the NRA's can out-vote tens of millions of citizens.  (Though I personally am not convinced that legislation makes that much difference, given the ubiquity of gun ownership.  Strong laws about carrying and concealing weapons have no effect on, for instance, a crazy guy who fills his car with guns and ammo and drives down to the schoolyard.)

Well, hell.  Guns don't kill people.  Bullets kill people.
