Can you imagine?! And nothing is being done about it?! My cousin has a young daughter who has been seriously affected emotionally just by the shooting drills she's experienced in school (in Colorado) - and here the previous generation thought they had it tough by experiencing the "duck and cover" drills!

He managed to get it passed with the support of all the living former presidents, 1 Democrat and 2 Republicans - Carter, Ford - and Reagan!
