How did the right to bears arm positively affect this situation? Can we at least look at school shootings and acknowledge that a.) the right to bear arms rarely comes into play and b.) the vast majority of school shooters get firearms not from the black market, but from relatives who own them through legal means? tl;dr: the one touted advantage of gun ownership is moot in this scenario, and banning guns would at the very least make it much more difficult for angsty, impulsive teens to get their hands on them.

I'm not sure if you're trying to fault the right to bear arms not saving the day when weapons are not allowed at school and no armed guards were present. We aren't exactly calling for 9 year olds to be able to carry guns at school to protect themselves from would-be assassins... Or maybe I'm totally misunderstanding what you're trying to say. |

Who is "he"? Freebase? Yeah, he didn't say either of those things. I was the one saying them. |

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

There's two ways of looking at it obviously -stricter gun control -less gun control Is #2 really a path we want to take? Fighting violence with violence, basically turning the U.S. into a hostile war zone of it's own, where everyone is so on edge that they feel the need to carry a gun on themselves at all times to be safe? Doesn't sound like a very hospitable environment to me. An armed guard would potentially work, but at the same time it takes, what, 1 minute to gun down an entire classroom of people? |

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! |
