I thought guns were bad? Why not just have a cop with no gun stand in front of a school and sing Kumbaya to a criminal?

Which liberals? Every one of them that I've seen posting on C-D is firmly against it. Making things up again so you can poke fun at people who don't worship killing machines like you do?

Guns in the hands of trained law enforcement, we'll go ahead and risk.

Guns in the hands of every drooling inbred like this guy below, no thanks.

Most cops dont even shoot their firearms as much as the average law abiding citizen who owns a firearm does. You are an idiot.!

Cops undergo extensive weapons training and are very knowledgeable about when and how to use deadly force.

Most "civilian" gun owners don't, and aren't.

Why do some people always insist that those who they disagree with must want some kind of extremism?

Generally, people who want religion out of government don't hate religion and want to ban it...

Generally, people who argue that there ought to be regulation regarding SOME guns don't want to ban ALL of them...

This polarization is really becoming frustrating. There are usually two sides to an argument. Not, "I think I know what I'm talking about, therefore everyone else is an idiot."

The people on this side of C-Dare naturally the extremists. Normal people don't care enough about politics to religiously post nonsensical threads.

There are a lot of liberals here on CD. Could you point out just one of us who says that police shouldn't have guns?

Well yeah, if I have to arm someone in a school, it's going to be a trained officer.

Why is arming police officers a worse idea than arming teachers? That's what many conservatives are asking for.
