Parents: Are Your Kids Safe at School?

Are kids in the cross-hairs when it comes to potential gun violence at schools?

It seems that the new video about gun violence at schools will upset people. And that is the point.

A group called Moms Demand Action created the video, showing a happy family with their young boy getting ready for school. He then puts on a sweatshirt and a backpack with a target on his chest.

After the tragic school shootings where kids and adults lost their lives in places like Columbine, Colo. and Newton, Conn., opinions about gun control are still divided. 

Some believe that more people having more guns will lead to less gun violence because everyone will be armed and the guns will be a deterrent.

Others believe that the only way to reduce gun violence is to have fewer guns and more laws against them.

Parents, where do you land on this issue? Do you feel that your child is safe at school? Tell us in the comments.
