NRA suggests armed guards in every USofA school ( Archived) (300)

True, and instead of guns in schools, like we used to have, we now teach children to access

1)The military cannot be everywhere at once and I would defend myself if needed.

2) Wars happen all the time and many people in other countries do die as a result of military or terrorist action.

3) Simply because you had a terrible experience with a gun does not mean that every single person would commit the act that you portray your husband as doing. I have had my ex wife pull a gun on me in the past when angry over my desire to avoid discussing a problem until I had calmed down (she has emotional issues) but I do not seriously believe that the vast majority would do such a thing. There are roughly 350,000,000 people in the US and possibly 2 to 3% should not have weapons in there hands. This is where gun control laws come into place, strict psychological examinations and other preemptive measure are taken, not the removal of all firearms. Once the firearms are removed and people begin using knives or baseball bats, should we get rid of those (including kitchen utensils) and shut down the production of sports equipment? Where will it end? Unless we correct the underlying causes of violence, the problem will never be solved and violence will occur no matter if a gun is used, other objects or simply a person’s bare hands. You fear is understandable but you way of thinking is irrational and emotional. I would disagree with you, you do not see through the forest.

Again, I said not everyone acts this way and you are only punishing the massed for the poor behavior and mental disorders of the few. Why are not crying out for an increase in mental health or for people to report individuals with serious mental issues??????

Hi monte,Well it should be someone who's highly trained and throughly screened to make sure that they're mentally stable to handle a gun.


As for placement I suppose the schools themselves would have to figure that out.

All schools.

I wouldnt go into one with one, sorry I dont get the sarcasm

Outside what the NRA suggests it's going to be very interesting to see

what Our Government does.


All Obama and the other political figures have been doing like they always have is run their mouths.

To me all that talk is nothing but cheap talk.What they need to do is put the taxpayers money where their mouths always seem to be.They're about as useful as tit on a wart hog.

I most certainly agree. I simply said removal of all guns is not rational. I am perfectly fine with gun control laws. I would people to be required to be licensed after being checked for emotional stability. I would be perfectly happy with people having to be assessed every year or two to be certain they are still emotionally stable. I am fine with firearms being refused to any individual that does not meet psychological standards and there are tests that these people could not pass in a manipulative manner. I am more than happy to remove all automatic rifles, limit clips sizes and institute structured measures in order to be approved to own a firearm, including the mandatory safe storage. However, removal of all firearms is irrational will only be a band-aid on the face of the problem.
