It really isn't realistic to expect one or two armed guards to cover all the possibilities of perimeter breaches in a single school. Time to arm the students with small arms and let them be able to fend for themselves. Naturally I would roll this out in phases so as to be able to prevent the gun manufacturers from having to pay overtime wages. We could initially request parental permission and then proceed to go directly to the children on a volunteer basis before eventually conscripting the whole lot of 'em. However, even at the risk of angering the gun enthusiasts, I think it would be a bad idea to equip the playtime platoons with extended capacity clips.

Probably cheaper than buying them tablets and laptops too.

Sure. Why not. I can see it now, Suzy saw Angie talking to Paul, her current crush. Now instead of just pulling her hair she can shoot her. Or Joey is mad at Mrs. Jones so instead of dreaming about shooting her, he can pull out his handy-dandy gun and take care of it then and there.

Asinine idea.

Schools should only have one way in and out and metal doors (impossible to kick down) around the school that are unlocked except if there is an emergency.

Sometimes I think people post nonsense to get a rise out of people. Trolling is so 2010.

That sounds great. I think it infringes on my toddler's constitutional rights that she is not allowed to bear arms. Government is forcing her to be a sitting duck. Clearly, her pre-school would be much safer place if she and her playmates ran around with M-16s (although they might be a bit too heavy for them).

As it is now, every time they go the playground, they are defenseless. It's no longer acceptable.

Naturally, I shall continue to restrict access to violent video games.

The NRA is SOOOOO right. Most toddlers don't play violent video games. How often have you heard of a toddler shooting up a school? That's rich: NEVER!

Lets come up with ridiculous scenarios to illustrate a lack of critical thinking skills.

That's right! That way, it will be much easier for emergency responders to haul out the thousands of dead bodies after a fire. They'll all be neatly piled up by the ONE escape route. 'Cause, you know, opening that door during an emergency surely won't be a problem. Nor will funneling thousands of fear-ridden students through the proverbial eye of a needle.
