Myths busted about the gun paradise of Israel and Switzerland

I'm sick of hearing that if the teachers were all carrying full assault rifles around school, that our schools would be safe -- because that is what they do in Israel. Or how Switzerland has hot and cold gun carrying everywhere by everyone, making them safe, (and scaring away the Nazis in WW II - they didn't).

That's wrong; all of it.

    Good post, Ms. Rosenbaum's study will not be released until early 2013 and it will be interesting to see what her data is. Also of interest is her work in the area of teen-age safe sex, abstinence programs and the like. She has a blog, Teenriskblog, and you can find her, here (http://janetrosenbaum.org/).

    I'm sure that she's made the NRA's "enemies list" by now.
