REF:  No Guns In School Campaign! 

Shootings in schools can be stopped very easily. Simply teach our
children how to love.  Then secure firearms in the home.  That is 
the idea behind the 
No Guns In Schools Campaign at 
http://home.att.net/~panda69/safety/noguns.htm which I 
started after the killings in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

We each can play a vital role in stopping school violence.  The 
No Guns In School Campaign serves to remember those students and 
teachers who have been killed, and teach children how to love 
through an educational program that includes firearm security in 
the home.  It uses the power of the internet to teach love and 
firearm safety and can be immediately accessed by schools and 
parents nationwide.

The recent killings in Oregon could have been prevented if 
parents, teachers, school administrators and law enforcement 
agents had learned a lesson from what happened in Jonesboro.  We 
owe it to the children who have died to remember them and take 
action to prevent future deaths by doing everything in our power 
to stop school violence.

The No Guns in Schools Campaign provides a working solution.  If 
every school in America, if every parent who owns a gun would 
learn from what has happened in Jonesboro and other schools 
around the nation, then school violence could be stopped.

The No Guns in Schools Campaign advocates teaching children how 
to love combined with acting to secure firearms in the home.  We 
must remember those who have died and learn from them that guns 
kill when not secured in the home.  But even more important, we 
must learn to teach our kids how to love, not how to kill.

Sincerely,
