School Safety one sided and Pro gun

The episode discussing school safety was terrible. It was so one-sided. I cannot believe you only interviewed 2 local sheriffs. How about including one of the many Florida citizens against more guns in school or more specifically arming teachers. So one sided I was so incredibly disappointed. How about discussion other ways to achieve school safety? Maybe talk about safe gun storage. Your local Moms Demand Action chapter would love to discuss this topic more thoroughly.
