To paraphrase the gun nuts who think mental illness registries is the answer: We already have registries for sex offenders. How is that working for you?
In a school? I don't feel the same way. Not that they aren't the good guys - but I don't want my child to grow up in a country where he has to feel an armed policeman carrying a gun is necessary in order to feel safe in his own school. I still get nervous around armed guards and policemen when I see them in the airport or the subway. But in my child's school? No. I don't want that.
Evil people and criminals will not follow rules. The only way to stop such people is an armed good person.
Did anyone really have any expectation that the NRA was going to say anything worth listening to?
I sure didn't.
They have a job. Their members have charged them with finding a way to argue that "easier access to more guns" is the solution to every problem they're commenting on. Their members need reassurance that they can't possibly be part of the problem, and the NRA dutifully delivers. It's a living. Admittedly, it's the sort of living that requires you to deposit your sense of ethics at home, but that never stopped a certain sort of individual.
Every year:
13,000 people murdered with guns outside the uterus is a horrible, terrible thing, ban all guns.
1.21 million people murdered in the uterus is a womans 'right'
I mean you got to admit, this really is a huge contradicition.
I'm pretty sure I will never understand pro choice/anti gun person with these views.
Here is a great question, Say a guy shoots a woman that is 5 months pregnant and she dies. Did the bad guy kill 1 or two?

Why does the president, gov institutions & politicians have armed law enforcement officers?
Lets take them away too while we are at it. Seems like a good idea since we all will be safe from crazy people without guns.
I figured the NRA would come out very humble and offer to help write some new laws and support a ban on assault rifles. But they want to throw gasoline on the fire with more guns.
That's fine, they made a choice. Now Obama will break them. You watch.
