Study confirms the idea that schools should have armed/trained security.

[Khiyone]

I think that it's quite clear (from evidence, implementation in other countries etc.) that gun control and regulations are the best way to control school shootings and the like.

Republicans and idiotic Tea Partiers that say, "Arm teachers!!" are so out of touch with reality that it simply astonishes me.

McVeigh was intensely NRA conservative, although I suppose that wasn't a shooting. The bombing was in the name of gun rights though.

I like how people want to solve gun problems with more guns.

Then more problems arise and their answer will be even more guns.

Talk about an arms race.

It's like an arms race with yourself!

spree killing happens so rarely that its hard to really articulate anything more than they are mentally disturbed.

And have access to guns.

Its not an irrational though to think that your government might become corrupt and try to kill/steal from you. It happens everyday, someone in power shits on someone without it somewhere in the world. I don't really care, a foreigner has no say in how our country operates domestically and if they don't like our country they can stay in theirs.

And if you ever want to live in a sane country you're welcome to come to ours

The idea that you can't depend on the police to protect you and need to be armed at all times in a modern Western country is either irrational, or if it is rational, a sign that you need to move the fuck out of whatever neighbourhood you live in.

People should stop trying to change American people's view.. it won't happen... they like guns over there, they like the whole wild west thing going on and they must like people shooting children... it's the only thing I can think off by still allowing civilians to arm themselves. They ain't going to change minds... they *believe* they have some god given right to be able to own guns and start pointing to age old documents that were written in a completely different time period as validation that it is in fact in their right to get guns... You would think that after all those years humanity evolved and laws with them... yet on the gun subject..

Like someone posted earlier, there are more shootings in one year in America then there are in 100 years in Europe. And someone born in Europe or America is 100% the same.. it's all about education and how guns are treated over there... They think they need guns to protect them from criminals.. they forget that pretty much all of those school shootings are NOT done by criminals... they are done by regular kids who feel neglected, get bullied or have psychological problems.. those children get guns because mommy and daddy have guns... I presume those parents aren't criminals either.. Start by restricting all guns except for regulated hunting and law enforcement. Yes that means pôssession will become illigal and people will have to trade in their guns... yes it will take a long time till America reaches Europe levels of gun violence.. but at least after some time they would be on the same level and the world will be a better place for it... You cannot fix gun problems by adding more guns. You need to fix the cause of the problem, not the result.

Montreal is a shitty city btw. If you want somewhere quiet, take the 3 hours up north and move to Quebec. The most threatening thing there are old people driving.

If you aren't Francophone Quebecois and you move to Quebec City you're asking to live in solitude. I speak French well and I wouldn't live there. Gorgeous place. To visit. I still think our British friend should leave the need for NYC behind and come to the west coast. We don't call B.C. the most beautiful place on earth for nothing.

Make a claim but doesn't back it up. You either back it up with facts or don't fucking make claims at all. Lol @ Rent a mod. There's some passive aggressive attitude here.

The man bakes a mean brownie.

Of course! I knew it was something sinister. So diabolical that world governments would collaborate together and send in their best and brightest in the name of peace justice and goodwill towards all. He must be stopped. To the mystical unicorn ninja cave at once!

You won't get infracted for posting proof that more shootings are done by liberals.

Just because people get mad when they make claims they can't back up, then start flinging insults when they get mad about being proven wrong, doesn't mean there's a "liberal bias".

I think he thinks Decklan was asking for a citation for his liberal post. A citation as in a ticket or infraction. Not a citation as in what his source was for the infromation, which is what I took Decklan as wanting.

America needs gun control tightened, ALOT. How many school shoutouts happen in the rest of the world?

I think if you were actually trying to be serious, you wouldn't care what side it was on.

What kind of a lunatic are you?

Geez...why can you not have an opinion on this issue without drawing out every Dirty Harry and some other guy who seems to think he's the Flash...Why can't you discuss this issue rationally...ever?

I am smart enough to not be caught at home in bed without a gun near by to defend myself if needed. You only get upset when someone has a different opinion than you do. But yeah, I love those Dirty Harry movies. Esp the part where he blows the pervert away with his .44 mag. Classic.
I happen to think there are some people out there who will take from you anything you have, inc your life in a heartbeat and never feel guilty about it. And sometimes the best way to deal with those is to take them out.
