I watched an advocate of strict gun laws on MSNBC who said that 100 people a day lose their lives because of guns

They don't lose their lives because of guns, they lose them because of the people using the guns.

Also, what is never discussed are the lives saved because someone had a gun and was willing to use it.

Don’t trust the dems. They want to seize all guns from law-abiding citizens and leave them (deliberately) in the hands of criminals.

Nonsense. The facts, the history, and the law completely contradict your position. Cite something other than emotion to support your argument, please.

If students did this then probably even more students will die due to accidents. the only solution to this problem is making America Gun free forever

Everyone will die from accidents or illness sooner or later. But proper training and precautions prevent accidents and teaches the students self-defense. The ability to be self reliant for most things including self defense is what makes Americans great.
