Arne Duncan: ‘Easy Access to Guns’ the Only School Safety Issue that Matters

‘Easy access to guns is creating all of this heartbreak, trauma’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

DUNCAN: “Well this is straight out of a traditional NRA playbook. And they want to talk about Ritalin, the want to talk about video games, they want to talk about culture, they want to talk about anything except easy access to guns. Why is the United States such an outlier? It's because guns are so available. We have 4 percent of the world's population, 44 percent of guns. Easy access to guns is what's creating all of this heartbreak, all this trauma. You think about cars. Cars now have seatbelts, you have speed bumps, you have technology. No one's taken away anyone's cars. They've simply made it safer. That's all we want to do here with gun industry."
