Not from my perspective. I could have killed him had I opened fire. I'm not ready to kill someone, be it intentionally or accidentally. And please don't tell me that gun classes could have helped to prevent that, because you yourself said that they wouldn't be firing guns.

Gun classes teach people about gun safety. Criminals are less likely to accidentally blow off their own heads because of it.

If they are less likely to not only hurt themselves but also others, then sure.

I have a daughter, and she knows not to touch guns and to tell an adult. That's the most important lesson of all.
