Thank you Sir for the great story! UW at it's finest!
When I saw the video posted here, (spoiler alert) I smiled when the kid pulled out the six or seven hand guns. I laughed when he pulled the uzi, thinking it was through. But the shotgun? Damn!
I think the video is misguided scare tactics.
As mentioned above, uniforms aren't going to solve weapons problems. They aren't going to solve gang problems either. As soon as the student steps off campus, the uniform comes off and the colors go right back on (unless of course the kid wears the colors underneath something as was common where I'm from.)
The best way to make our schools safe is to start by making the community safe. Not the other way around.
And as for uniforms? I think they're a great way to instill discipline, a learning oriented focus, and a sense of community that is sorely lacking in today's "all about me" generation.
