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.
When I was a kid they gave us fluteaphones for music. Now they can give our Colt45's. Imagine the shootouts on the playground. Would make great TV.

Tinfoil my friend--the future is in tinfoil. I see yet another shiny sparkly fashion trend emerging--and just think--you get protection from the socialist/communist/dictator Obama psyops at the same time that you set new fashion trends! You can deflect those telepathic messages from our government and look great while you're doing it!

Let's be reasonable here--we can't have these 5 year old's running around with a Colt45 without proper TRAINING. I think we need mandatory target practice instead of nap time. As I always say--safety first!

There was a six year old kid here who was found yesterday with a loaded handgun in his back pack. The liberal big government goons took it away from him leaving him defenseless. Where was the NRA? What about his rights?

Tsk tsk. My heart goes out to that young patriot. Just another example of big government intervention.

At least schools will no longer be plagued by bullying. You rub me the wrong way, I take you out. There, done!

I think I'd actually prefer if my toddler could have a Beretta instead of a Colt - much more stylish. Should go nicely with her My Little Pony backpack.

Just like I said. The big liberal government wants out children to be sitting ducks. It's unconscionable.

I bet every kid becomes an A student too! Would YOU fail a kid packing heat? Think what this could do to our failing educational system!

Just create a huge mote with a drawbridge around every school. Have the armed guards show up at the start and end of the day when kids march in and out of school. Put enormous spiked steel blades on top of the buildings so attack helicopters can't land. Surround the schools with impenetrable steel walls that will deflect any bomb. It's that simple.
