In all honesty, if we're discussing arming elementary schools, and don't see the bigger issue here...
...and I'm not trying to get into it here...with anyone...I hear the viewpoints...and get them all...
Here's what I can tell you. I guarantee you that I own more guns than most people on this forum. I have two kids who have used them, and I can safely tell you that my kids will NEVER use them inappropriately because of the culture my whole family has in place.
But...in an insane world...there are families that have similar weapons in their house, and deal with it differently....and in an unhealthy way...
Not sure what that has to do with anything, but it does.
As per arming teachers...I just have nothing for it...for several reasons...
Proceed to discuss...and I suppose there really is something to take from all of this...and all of the ideas here...
But at the end of the day, if the fix is to continue to arm more...then our society will ultimately fail.
...and that has nothing and everything to do with how we HANDLE guns...
Because teaching the respect that u need to handle any weapon just isn't there. Seriously...go sit in an elementary school sometime and really watch the kids...and you'll get my point...
Have a good one gents..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

I'm of the opinion that something rather than nothing must be done. I'm not anti gun, but arming everyone everywhere only ensures a big step backwards in time will occur. Every dispute will end in someone being the quicker draw. That's insanity.
Did you ever see the movie the Incredibles? There's a great scene where the villain, Syndrome, who's powers are artificial (basically he's armed to the teeth with inventive weaponry) tells a shackled Mr. Incredible that he's going to sell all of his inventions to everybody so that everyone can be super. He closes with this truthful line, "and when everybody's super... no one will be."
You can't shun the concept of atleast entertaining the notion of how passing legislation may do something rather than nothing. What's the harm in a conversation being had?Comment

but the harm is the lunatic fringe...
they don't want ANY conversation..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment
