90% of American public schools now hold mass shooting drills for students
We have such a strange culture of guns in this country.<p>This point became poignantly clear to me once when I was a potential juror on a gun-murder case.  I remember they were screening the potential jurors for biases and they asked the large group of us:<p>&quot;How many of you personally own a gun&quot;<p>I looked around the room and and figured out of the 30 or so people maybe 5 would raise their hand.<p>It was more like 25.<p>It was on that day that America&#x27;s gun obsession became real, quantifiable for me.  Here was a cross section of my community, and I was a significant minority when it came to firepower.  Almost everyone in that group, young and old, black and white, you name it, had a gun.  People I was sure wouldn&#x27;t raise their hand, raised their hands.
