I spend a great amount of time on this forum chuckling at Canadians who think they know about American culture and American way of life ...
You guys don't know what you are talking about 90 percent of the time, so careful telling us what we need to "feel safe" ....
Well isn't it funny "chuckling back at you here" that any time I ask on CD WHY Americans want to/need to own guns, the answer is always "for protection." Doesn't having protection for one's self give you a feeling of safety? Protection from whom?
Yourselves. That's who.

He sounds like an" evangelist" advocating the right to bear arms, and we all know what most evangelists are like. Fire and brimstone and blah, blah, blah.
But I must add, that IF things don't change for gun laws, then what this man has suggested might very well be the only solution.
The costs of arming all the schools, pta meetings, etc, would be staggering but at least kids might feel safe to go to school, not that this will stop a gunman or crazed kid from getting a few rounds off before the armed security takes them down.

Is that really the answer you always get? An awful lot of Americans have guns because they find them an enjoyable hobby. Tooling around with guns and going to the shooting range is fun.
My city hasn't had a murder of any kind for 8 years. It's one of the safest cities in the entire country. We don't have guns "for protection." There are many, many gun-owners like us, so please don't attempt to speak for all Americans.
We have a lot of family and friends who live in Germany. When they visit, you might think they would be terrified to see a gun, but actually almost without exception they love to go to the shooting range and request it specifically. Why? Because they are concerned about protection? No, because it's fun!

Having anyone entering a school go through a metal detector would more effective and cheaper.
Very little will happen or change Americas obsession with easily obtained guns, in the very near future we will be talking about the next mass shooting. its the nature of the beast in the USA.
Well Mouldys topics are interesting however its odd that some guy in Mississippi has to generate the majority of Canadian topics.
Also odd that a guy will start as many topics as mouldy does but very seldom participates in them. Eg=
Mouldy why do you think there are so few mass shootings in Canada?
