Really glad to see programs like this getting traction, successes, and publicity. That's excellent.

Gun ownership. Gun control. Reducing gun violence. Giving sad white men different outlets for their frustration.

All of these are related - but separate - issues.

Cars are highly regulated tools that require a license to operate, insurance, etc. But they can be just as deadly in a crowd, when operated by an angry white man.

Reducing gun violence by giving people a wider view of the world, is a great program, and is definitely going to have benefits for the onesy-twosy violence of drive by killings, etc. It's not going to stop Dylan Klebold, or any other middle-class white male loser with access to guns.
