The Review Panel appointed by Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine recently issued its recommendations that background checks on gun purchases be strengthened and “that guns be banned on campus grounds and in all buildings…”

Earlier this week, I saw a short video clip that reinforced my agreement with this position.

I was on Fox & Friends, the morning news show on the Fox News Channel, to discuss a proposal by a Michigan legislator that would allow some teachers and school staff to carry guns in school. Fox showed a video that has been posted on www.Youtube.com that is relevant to the issue. I urge everyone, regardless of your point of view on the subject, to watch this short video.

The video clip shows a Federal law enforcement agent, doubtless fully trained in firearm safety, shooting himself in the foot in front of a stunned classroom full of people.

This reinforces the point that guns in school are inherently dangerous. Even trained law enforcement officers can have potentially serious accidents. Teachers should focus on teaching, and janitors on cleaning. If we are concerned about safety in the schools, any guns should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officers.
