Normally, I'd post this in the Missouri section, but I think it's just the tip of the iceberg of what passes for critical thinking when dealing with "gun violence". That means everybody ought to be aware of the depth folks can sink to in figuring out ways to "Do Something" without ever actually addressing the issue.

Little Johnny and Jane still can't read,but the schools want to get into knowing which parents to be paranoid about because they might bring a gun to the parent-teacher conference, or because their precious little snowflake might pick up one of the multitude of guns they leave scattered about the house and bring it to school for "Show and Shoot".
"Chutzpah" does not even come close to describing this.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) -
Ever since the horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, gun control has been a hot topic. Now comes word of a Missouri lawmaker who wants any parent who owns guns to notify their child's school.
The lawmaker says she hopes the already filed bill will bring awareness to schools and to parents about keeping their guns locked up.
It's the next idea in a long list of proposed ideas for gun control, making it mandatory for parents to notify their child's school about their gun supply.
"I am not trying to take away the gun rights of any parents or any other citizens I believe in the second amendment," says State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal.
She says she wants the violence in schools to stop and this is just one different idea that no one has brought up.
"It encourages parents to make sure they store their guns safely in their home, it also gives the school districts the opportunity to help encourage gun safety in the community and in the household," says the Senator.
"I agree with it, we need to know because a lot of parents aren't governing their homes properly," says parent Danaelle Stidum.
