RE: 4 people shot at Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Charlotte, North Carolina

People who have never experienced life like this will have a really difficult time understanding how and why people feel more safe around firearms than in the absence of them and I guess I can get that. Often though, I feel as though their fears are quite irrational. I'd like to see gun safety be a requirement in schools again. It never was when I was in school but in my Dad's days in school it was.

Not everyone who has a firearm is a "gun nut."
