Today, he and his wife, Maggie, live in Missoula, and Moffatt occasionally substitutes for MCPS. He applauds the district 's efforts to address difficult issues, and he says he 's `` for anything that schools do to make the environment safer for kids. '' But, in his mind, any district can only achieve so much as long as gun laws remain the same. He points out that homicide is now the second leading cause of death for school - age Americans, and while school shootings are `` horrific tragedies, '' homicides on school grounds account for less than 2 percent of the lives lost. `` Some people think it always happens somewhere else, others think it 's going to happen anytime, '' he says of school shootings, `` but we need to look at the big picture. There are relatively few communities in the United States that have dealt with a school shooting... But there are very few communities that have not lost a child to gun violence.
