GUN LAWS AND SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

Today in my Current Issues Discussion class we were talking about gun laws, school shootings and violent video games. One of my young students spent most of her teenage years at school in teh U.S. She told me about shooting drills. As well as fire and earthquake drills the school regularly had them practice what to do if and when there was a shooting. Stackign desks against the door, zigzag running, etc, etc. It was scary to listen to.

not that many people in america have guns! i've never even heard of shooting drills. i saw way more assault rifles in seoul than anywhere else. plus my first day in seoul an old man reeking of soju was messing around with his revolver on the subway and pointing it right in my face.
