Are kids in the cross-hairs when it comes to potential gun violence at schools?

It seems that the new video about gun violence at schools will upset people. And that is the point.

A group calledΒ Moms Demand ActionΒ created the video,Β showing a happy family with theirΒ young boyΒ getting ready for school. He then puts on a sweatshirt and a backpack with a target on his chest.

After the tragic school shootings where kids and adults lost their lives in places likeΒ Columbine, Colo. andΒ Newton, Conn.,Β opinions about gun controlΒ are still divided.Β 

Some believe that more people having more guns will lead to less gun violence because everyone will be armed and the guns will be a deterrent.

Others believe that the only way to reduce gun violence is to have fewer guns and more laws against them.
