Is this man for real ? instaed of gun control he wants more guns in schools. That sounds a good idea men walking up and down the corridors of a school with a gun slung over his shoulder!! lol

I think remove Assault rifles from stores would be a better idea or at least stop the stock pile of ammo

Well taking the whole mind set into account in the USA, The president of the NRA is right. Think about it and I have from afar, even registering the long arms here in Canada did not go well so they scraped that idea and a good thing also now I can have a rifle if I want one. Trying to get a culture to change their mind set about guns is well next to impossible. Why not allow police/principles/teachers carry guns if they wish to. I know if I lived there and was a teacher I would but then again I am what some would say not your average kangaroo.

You mean we have flogged that horse before? Never heard about a bolted horse before, but I guess it works just as well.

If people try to fix something after the problem has occurred, they are trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted. 'Close the barn door after the horse has bolted' is alternative, often used in American
 
The trouble with teachers etc to carry guns , you can see the class rooms turning into gun fight at OK corral !! Its one knowing how to fire a gun but another is how to use it in a high stress situation where you need to keep a clear head and not blast anything that moves . The death toll could well go up , as more perhaps will stay behind and shoot it out rather than running for the hills . But as I always say about Americans that they love their guns so much that they will die by their gun .
 
To those who may not be aware, Columbine had an armed guard. Virginia Tech had their own police department. Fort Hood was a military base. Somehow, the guns present in these locations did nothing to stop the violence.

In 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 15 people and wounded 23 more at Columbine High School. The destruction occurred despite the fact that there was an armed security officer at the school and another one nearby -- exactly what LaPierre argued on Friday was the answer to stopping "a bad guy with a gun."
Deputy Neil Gardner was a 15-year veteran of the Jefferson County, Colo., Sheriff’s Office assigned as the uniformed officer at Columbine. According to an account compiled by the police department, Gardner fired on Harris but was unsuccessful in stopping him.

Gardner, seeing Harris working with his gun, leaned over the top of the car and fired four shots. He was 60 yards from the gunman. Harris spun hard to the right and Gardner momentarily thought he had hit him. Seconds later, Harris began shooting again at the deputy.
After the exchange of gunfire, Harris ran back into the building. Gardner was able to get on the police radio and called for assistance from other Sheriff’s units. "Shots in the building. I need someone in the south lot with me."

The second officer was Deputy Paul Smoker, a motorcycle patrolman who was near the school writing a speeding ticket. When he heard a dispatch of a woman injured at the high school, he responded. He, too, fired at Harris but didn't stop him.



To me, armed guards are apparently not the answer to the problem, and neglects the murderous rampages that have occurred at other venues (theaters, shopping malls, etc)

Trying to get a culture to change their mind set about guns is well next to impossible.

Which is why I said in a previous thread on this subject, that we must reinvent ourselves/evolve as a country.
