Hickenlooper recognizes that schools, by and large, are already comparatively safe places.

"If you look at the number of kids who die in accidental deaths in swimming pools, [it is] far more than die in shootings," Hickenlooper said. "But somehow the shootings are so visceral and affect us ... so deeply."
Hickenlooper is right. As NBC reported recently, "An average of 23 youths per year were the victims of homicides at elementary or secondary schools or on the way to a school event, over the years 1992 to 2011."
By contrast, nearly 140 children drowned in pools and spas in the summer of 2012, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

"What I've been trying to tell people all weekend is that this [sort of shooting] happens once in a blue moon," Hickenlooper told CPR. That's not an argument for complacency, but it is a call for perspective and for calm.

Of course it is Governor. Until the legislature convenes in 14. Then i'm sure you'll be banging the bloomberg, VPC. IT'S TIME FOR COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS AGAIN.
