I meant.. a Teacher.. not a guard. and please don't tell me.. "I don't understand' I understand.. I just don't agree. We cant stop the guns, anymore than we can stop the drugs. Keep well wishing and dreaming. Yes we would all love to live in Utopia.. unfortunately most of us live in the real United States.. where guns, and bad guys will.. always be. If you think you can stop it thru legislation, then keep thinking that. I think it's

Fact is.. There are examples of both points of view.... no one can win this argument. Your right.. guns didn't make it safer for those kids.. because no one around them.. had one. They were unprotected... from guns, knives, bombs, poison, gas, rocks and sugar.

I dont think any of us mentioned needing an assault rifle or a machine gun. I see none of you ever talk about all the BAD people.. with illegal guns, that gun control will do NOTHING about. Stay in your peaceful little neighborhoods, and water your flowers, smoke ur peace pipes and pretend there arent people out here in the real world getting slaughtered by the thousands by people with illegal weapons. And when one day you are approached by one of these characters, car

Quite Ironic to see the Pres. making his speech tonight... surrounded by Secret service agents carrying automatic Weapons... to protect him from mentally ill people who want to harm him. Are they going to follow everyone else around when everyone's right to personal protection has been taken away from them? Which.. is.. exactly.. what he wants.

Well, The idea is certainly not a new one...but... 1. I Don't know if we want our schools to start looking and functioning like prisons but it may come to that unfortunately. 2. Washington D.C and Detroit are crawling with armed police and have the highest crime rates in the country. and 3. Most school districts are already running budget deficits and many of them cannot afford even one full time security guard, or modern electronic security systems. Hell, some of

Doc.. try to look at other peoples points of view...a little more.. off with the blinders... Ur point of view.. isnt. the only point of view. It is.. not.. black and white. God forbid someone does come at you, or someone you love, with a gun one day. Im done in this thread.

It's almost like gun control advocates just plain, flat out, refuse to read.. reasonable arguments from the other side. All i know is this..I don't like guns.. AT ALL...I'm against assault weapons, (one wasn't used today as far as I know) but... if someone is coming at me with a gun... I want to be able to defend myself. I suppose some of you believe pepper spray is a valid option. People die EVERYday.. from my aforementioned non-gun related metho

I get it... I just don't agree.... and you didn't answer my questions...as I suspected you wouldn't. It's easy to find reasons for gun control, not so easy to find justification for taking away innocent peoples RIGHT to protect themselves, They aren't the ones running around shooting children.

Its looking more and more like this kid was mentally ill, perhaps autistic, personality disorder.. etc etc...(latest reports) and altho it doesn't excuse his actions, it more than likely contributed to them, Should he have had access to guns? of course not.. was his mother probably at fault for not securing them, probably... she paid the price. Would he have found a way to kill people without a gun? Who knows.. Hard to believe he wouldn't have, I'm not agai

I dont think I trivialized anything.. just throwing out what Ive read about the shooter from extensive reading today..and sorry if in some way it struck a bad chord with you. Doesn't have any thing to do with anyone else suffering the same illness...wasn't an indictment of Asbergers.... but also doesn't mean it wasn't part of the this guys overall psyche either.

I read he suffered some mental illness along with Asperger syndrome... Or.. he could have been anti gun.. and decided to use his mothers guns to shoot her, (in the face) and her whole class.. to prove a point. Possessed by demons? Perhaps.. We will probably never really know his true motivations.. Say a prayer, hug your kids, tell your loved ones you love them.. and try to move on. Evil has always been here and will
