Children killed in Connecticut school shooting (likely 27 dead,including 18 children)

If it wasn't guns it would be bombs or planes crashing or vehicular homicide to the 3rd degree. You can't control unpredictability amongst billions of people. You can prepare and raise your level of awareness but at the end of the day cause and effect never ceases. I agree with FBD on having guards armed at schools. At least then they would have somewhat of a chance cause what do people think happens when the police do arrive? They bring the gunman a candycane and tell him everything's ok and if he resists they spray him with silly string? How these situations even transpire is a mystery cause schools are GUN FREE zones. Therefore eliminating the possibility of any gun related crime, just like making guns illegal to possess would. Right? No wrong.

I think a more sensible thing than armed guards would be to have doors locked from the outside at all times. Have some way of identification for parents and guardians to enter (as in the doors only open when the persons identity is verified) when they need to get their kid out early or whatever it may be. But definitely have at least a couple campus police on duty at all times, as well.

Agreed, though I think the guards should be armed as well but what you mentioned is at least a start in the right direction.

I think he asked because of the way you format your text. Why are the margins so narrow?

My school had that. They had to see you on camera, then hit a button for you to be let in. There were two sets of doors you had to get through, and then you had to sign in.

Haha, okay let's slow down and get rational. You (Janszoon) implied those things. And I understand why. My response remains the same ("he" being FD).

Give me a minute to read your last post that responded to mine for a minute. I'm kind of slow.

It's okay. It's midnight and I don't really feel like arguing with people I like about things I don't feel strongly about. I'll be in the shouty talking nonsense.

I'm just going to assume that everything I type that is not replied to, is universally agreed upon in this forum.

I f*cking hate being agreed with.
I live for arguments.
Someone argue with me.

Edit:
Thanks Tuna!
