The NRA Thinks More Guns Are The Answer. Bless Their Hearts. Then Watch This.

The NRA announced that it wants to have more guns in schools to solve the problem of gun violence. Back in the day, ABC's "20/20" did a test to see if they could train a bunch of college students to have fast enough response times to shoot an attacker. They found students with a variety of levels of gun experience, including some real enthusiasts. Guess who fared the worst?

So unless we force everyone to be in the military and have regular shooting practice, this probably ain't gonna help. 

Unfortunately ABC's old videos don't work on mobile devices. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this video seems kind of important.
