Drop out of school, right..
And if a crazed lunatic starts firing on innocent, defenseless students, gee Mr. Rocket Scientist, you dont think that "additional victims will be harmed"

Peter Hamm is notorious for opening his mouth and inserting his left foot when he is quoted from the Brady camp.
This is merely the ill concieved perception of gun owners by the Brady following and their staff.
"Thank God those holsters are empty" However, if your in uniform, serving as campus security then
thank god their stuffed with a firearm 
Why ? because their trained to use them. Really ? Where? Who trained them ? When was their last qualification and how was that qaulification conducted ? Just because you wear the pistol on your hip doe's not qualify them to be any better prepared than you or I when faced with a deadly threat. I'd go so far as to say that on my campus, I am probably more trained than any one of the campus security police. I can document my training and it isn't just a week at the academy. I'm no super jedi master SF soldier or Navy SEAL, but my training has come from those very same soldiers and sailors. I'm sure some here will agree with me and some will not.
I have heard Peter Hamm say that "If teachers had guns on campus they could lose them" I have to wonder where they find representatives like Peter Hamm for their cause. The perception is that all we gun owners want to do is shoot something with two legs. That we'll be become gun toting crazed nuts due to the fact that a gun has super cult like powers that whisper in our ear "shoot someone now, it's fun"
When Peter Hamm is faced with statistics and facts from sources like UCR or USDOJ concerning violent crime with guns he generally resorts to attacks on gun owners, rediculous scenarios where the gun owner would disarmed, and that the gun owner would resort to shooting into a crowded area.
The lack of understanding is much like that of zombies in "Night of the living dead" We're all just a bunch of crazed gun nuts and we will cause more harm than good. Of course there is no qaulified or qauntifed data to support his rediculous claims of how you or I would respond in a deadly threat situation.
In other words, Peter Hamm just makes stuff up as he goes along during debates concerning the RKBA and it's protection under the 2nd Amendment. If the only debate talking point that Peter Hamm and the Brady bunch have is guessing on human behavior, then I'm afraid their entire cause is a colossal waste of contributors dollars. They have alway's had scant data, influenced their data with eronious numbers included that should not be, and flat out lied about crime data in the past. What makes today any more valuable for them ?
Remember, Jim Brady was shot with a .22Lr revolver, not a Tec-Nine, Glock, H&K, UZI, MP5, AR15, SKS, SPR, M60, .50 BMG etc.
