I would first question the integrity of the news station.
I doubt seriously that they were filming the conference room scene in the school but they certainly left that impression.
Then I would fire the reporter for mishandling firearms -- in the name of trying to sensationalize the report. Did we really need a handgun pointed at the camera to make the point?
Anyone in the area who could take the knucklehead out to the range and teach him safety?
The assumptions made in the report about the inherent danger of firearms and the mishandling of the pistol to sensationalize they story boggles the mind. I doubt the report has to worry about his job. That the segment was aired at all clearly shows which way the management leans.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." - P. J. O'Rourke.
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson
"The right to buy weapons is the right to be free." - A. E. Van Vogt
"The price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, at any time, and with utter recklessness." - Robert A. Heinlein
"Statesmen are dead politicians. Lord knows we need more statesmen." - Opus the Penquin

The Four Rules
1 - All firearms are always loaded. 2 - Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at anything you are not willing to destroy. 3 - Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 4 - Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.
---Jeff Cooper
