Gabby Giffords’ gun control group’s study intended to show the danger of armed teachers includes dozens of incidents where guns literally did nothing to anybody.
Moreover, to swell the numbers of gun incidents, the study also includes numerous occasions where the guns of police officers on campus did nothing to anybody either.
The study is titled, “Every Incident of Mishandled Guns in Schools.” It opens with 31 incidents in which guns were allegedly left in places in campus where they were discoverable by students by students or others. No shots were fired in 30 of the 31 incidents and, in the incident where the shot was fired, it was the result of an elementary school student pulling the trigger on a holstered gun carried by a police officer.
In fact, 11 of the 31 incidents involved the guns of police officers and/or resource officers and all ended with no shots fired. One of the 31 incidents involved a grandpa with a concealed carry license who accidentally dropped his gun but it did not go off.
Another incident counted as an example of “mishandled guns in school” involved a pistol being in the trunk of teacher’s car while said car was being serviced by an automotive class.
