    Some dick opposed the guns in schools thing on the basis that it may scare or traumatise refugee students.
    I take a different view on that one.
    A kid who has been unfortunate enough to witness the harm that firearms can do to fellow humans, is more likely to have a healthy respect for them (firearms), rather than a fear of.

    Apology not accepted. Go back and finish the last sentence with a full stop or something.

    I saw that dick make that statement on the news and my first thought was how did he treat kids who had lost someone to a motor accident? Were they traumatised every time they saw a car? You would probably find that if these kids were that badly traumatised that an gradual introduction to the understanding that it was the Soldier (and I use that word very loosely in this context) who did the damage and that this is what would require counselling to deal with said trauma.
