We Need School Security - Not Gun Control

Quote from kmgilroy89:

A ban on assault weapons was ruled constitutional in 1994. It expired in 2004. I don't think it's unrealistic for it to be reinstated.

What do you plan to do about the millions already in circulation?

What's the difference between an "assault" rifle and a semi auto rifle, or do you want both banned?

The guy was wearing body amour and had an AR-15. These teachers would have been no match for him with a handgun. Don't think for a second that they would have stopped him.



Remember the shooting at the Empire State Building? 9 civilians got injured bringing down that nut.

ALL shot by those "highly trained" policemen as I recall.
Apparently the NYC cops aren't trained well enough.

Quote from kmgilroy89:

Do you actually expect a principal to perform like a trained cop? Cops go through hundreds of hours of training.

We can't have cops running around, hitting innocent bystanders to stop a psychopathic killer on the loose. It's too dangerous! These cops need to be disarmed so nobody gets hurt (except the scores of bystanders these psychopaths kill while they go on their rampage)!

Maybe we could talk these psycho's down, like they do in the movies? That's probably what Liberals want.

Ironically, the availability of body armor is one of the best arguments for having an AR15 or AK as a home defense weapon. Their rounds will defeat kevlar, which in turn will stop common pistol rounds.

There are many other school options that no one is even discussing. CS gas for example. No one is going on a killing spree if teachers can toss gas outside their rooms.

11% of police shootings in the US result in innocent bystanders being shot - by the police.

When armed private citizens discharge their firearms in self defense only 2% result in bystanders being hit.

You're five times more likely to be "accidentally" shot by police in a shootout than by private gun owners like me.

Good points. I think it comes down to the world-view lefties hold, that is fundamentally delusional: that the world could be a perfect place "only if we did xyz". It's the nanny-state mentality - that Government can fix all our problems if only we give it enough power - that creates an entirely BIGGER problem, altogether...
