Now some might say that guns are used a lot in school shootings, which is true, but the kids got guns from their parents, or got them illegally. Take, for instance, the Massacre of November 29, 2015, which was at a school in Colorado Springs, where the gunman’s gun couldn’t be traced back to a legal
