That article says that 5 pupils in various schools in London have paid £130 to have their school uniforms modified, so they're stab proof. This is very different from the claim that schools were giving out knife proof school uniforms (schools would never give out a free uniform).

I doubt 16,000 panicky students and teachers firing guns would have made the situtation any better (more students would have died in the crossfire).
wish i had knife prrof school uniforms in my day >.> then we could play with the knives more

This only says that the crime was committed while the criminal had a gun, not that the criminal used the gun to commit a crime. This figures also covers imitation firearms, even if they cannot fire bullets.

Maybe you should lobby to ban imitation fire arms next.

I forget where the study was, but there have been studies that show that armed citizens defending themselves are generally more careful in who they shoot than the actual police.

Vtech was a private university thusly it has a right to deceide what people can and can't do on its property.
property rights are also covered in the constitution.
