Guns as "Protection"

Originally posted by RJHinds
The gunman in the Connecticut shooting rampage was carrying an arsenal of hundreds of rounds of especially deadly ammunition — enough to kill just about every student in the school if given enough time, authorities said Sunday, raising the chilling possibility that the bloodbath could have been even worse.

The gunman, Adam Lanza, shot himself in the head ...[text shortened]... s say.

This post bears no connection to the point in my post; are you just copy pasting random sound bites in an attempt to look like you know what you are saying?

Yeah, it would have been much better if the kid understood enough to have taken bullets that went with the gun to school.[/b]

I'd prefer well trained teachers who had a mind to go through training.
I'm not at all happy with the idea of kids taking guns to school with the proper
bullets in the guns.

Not at all...not even a little bit? C'mon these 6 year old kids could handle guns, it would be fine; they could defend themselves from the murderers and allow the voting public to completely abdicate all responsibility for political action.

why not? guns don't kill people - neither do bullets, it's people that kill people! and what's more, if a child wants to kill someone they'll find some other way of killing them. we just need to make sure parents bring up their children responsibly so they can be trusted to have guns in schools and defend themselves against would be psychopaths.

Evidently RJH is. Do you really think it wise to allow those with the mentality of an RJH to have access to weapons designed to greatly increase the ability to inflict harm?

Let me see if I understand you correctly. In your mind it is sensible to increase the number of private citizens carrying weapons designed to increase the ability to inflict harm in order to mitigate the harm done by private citizens carrying weapons designed to increase the ability to inflict harm?

Will you listen to yourself?

Kids? Bringing guns to school?

You may no doubt about it, I'd prefer to know that a crazy suicidal gunman
whose only goal in life is to kill as many little kids as he can find will not walk
through my kid's school completely unimpeded except by brave teachers who
throw their bodies in harm way with nothing but harsh lauage and skin and
bones.

Well maybe but I'll be frank, you supporters of "the right to bear arms" in America sicken and bemuse me; there is more gun crime in America than anywhere else in he western world and yet you refuse to see the blatantly obvious correlation between gun related crime and the availability of guns.

[/b]I'd prefer well trained honest law bidding people carrying guns yes, in a world
where any nut job with or without the law allowing it can get a gun and kill
as many as they can. It again goes back to who is doing the killing, it isn't
the teacher who would if s/he had to, throw themselves between the gunman
and the kids to save the kids. That person I'd like have training and given the
chance to defend themselves and my kids! I'm not worried about them, it is
the wacko who doesn't care I worry about.

I refuse to agree with you, because I do not agree with you, but that does not
make me insult your posts as you did mine.

Did it ever occur to you that history has shown that a subset of teachers are "nut job(s)"?

Did it ever occur to you that part of the problem is identifying the "nut job(s)" from the "honest law abiding people"? Do you have a foolproof way of doing this? Do you have a foolproof way of making sure that "nut job(s)" don't get access to guns owned by "honest law abiding people"?

Did it ever occur to you that if guns were removed from society, that "nut job(s)" wouldn't be able to get a gun?

what a piece of nonsense, violence foments violence, is the indiscriminate killing of six
teachers and twenty little children worth your so called right to bear arms, i don't
think so. Your constitution needs to change.
