For you concerned parents or students...
I just heard an interesting thing on the radio... Didn't catch quite where to grab the stats, but the gist was that...
Cheerleading
...is the most dangerous high school sport, with the highest serious injury rate.
Now...
SOMEWHERE, the stats are there. And I'm sure that somewhere, one can find a "serious injury rate" statistic for high school shooting teams.
Are you following me?
Next PTA meeting or school board meeting, stand up there, and ask if you can help form a shooting team for your high school. Then when someone gets up on their two hind legs and blathers about how dangerous it is, respond with how dangerous cheerleading is, and _how many times more likely_ (bet it's a lot more than 42...) their little darlings are to end up dead or in a wheelchair than if they competed in organized shooting sports.
