Well, by your "reasoning", anyone should be able to possess the nuclear bomb since the government has nuclear bombs. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if you....and the NRA actually do believe that.
The right to "free speech" is not absolute. You do not have the right to speech that wrongly defames innocent people, you do not have the right to "hate speech" or speech that calls for violence against innocent people, you do not have a right to speech that libels innocent people.
Your right to own guns also should not be absolute and, in my opinon and that of millions of other citizens, your right ends where your bullets enter the bodies of innocent little babies.
We'll see how they do against a motivated President in his second term who has vowed to do something about guns. They will be a shadow of what they were when Obama is done. They have no idea what he can do to them.
Realistically, there's absolutely nothing Obama can do. No measure limiting the RKBA will ever pass the House.
If the NRA wants armed guards in every school, the NRA should pay for them.
The gun makers should pay for them. The way our local high school sprawls over a few acres,10 policeman on duty might be able to keep the body count to under 3 dozen.Unless there`s more than one shooter.
Gee that is certainly preferable. I am a gun owner myself - some might even call me a gun nut based on my "collection". But I am also a realist who understands that the only way you get rid of the problem is to get rid of the guns - all of them including mine (well OK, I can keep mine). There is no half-assed measure like armed guards and mental registries that is going to work. Guns must go. I am not saying that I favor that - just that it is the way it is.
Yep, that will get rid of the problem. Because no one ever kills any one else with any weapon other than a gun, right? Eliminate the guns and we'll have a peaceful society with no violence. Crazy people unable to find a gun will just sigh wistfully, wishing for the old days when the only weapon capable of causing harm or death, a gun, wasn't illegal, and give up the idea of killing people. They won't pick up a knife, or a gallon of gasoline, or the keys to their car, because they'll have no idea that those can be, and have been repeatedly in the past, deadly weapons.
It should come from the Government, not a private group.
You mean you are actually asking for a tax hike to pay for all these guards? The hypocrisy of the right never ceases to amaze me.
