Larry McDonald was not targeted, he just happened to be a passenger on Korean Air Flight 007, which accidentally strayed into Soviet airspace.

California public schools have their issues, but they produced Harrier.

Washington public schools permitted him graduation from high school.

Oddly enough, Harrier doesn't get much grief from people in the Seattle forum for being conservative.

Liberals in P&OC may have a faulty judgment of the Evergreen State, especially since 2 of the last 3 gubernatorial elections were notably close.

Nothing more then a liberal showing us how much he does not know.
Or she - as Harrier is rather sure that Dew is.

Harrier and Dew really should meet - we live within a handful of miles of each other.

Harrier can't type the words that come to mind to respond to your asinine post without violating the TOS.

True second amendment advocates(supporters of the U.S. Constitution) seek the protection of the right to bear arms (as guaranteed under the U.S Constitution).

They do not state that any person ought to be shot due to their political beliefs.

Anyone who does should be labeled as an anti-American - or a liberal - the meaning of either is the same.

Firearms safety used to be taught in public schools. Nowadays, it isn't taught in schools or in an increasing number of (mainly suburban and urban) homes. And school shootings are on the rise.
You are correct. After the 1977 oil boom all the high schools built in Anchorage included an indoor gun range for the express purpose of teaching firearm safety. However, the Democrat created 1990 federal Gun Free School Zone Act ended that. There was a waste of several million dollars, thanks to congressional Democrats.

Again, I fully understand where the population is not highly educated, trading teaching time for guard duty time might not matter. Sadly, I include tn in that group, as we should be pushing for vast improvement far more intensely.

But there are states where education matters, and their median college graduation results prove they are getting results. These are schools, not prisons. Education is the purpose. Not promoting gun advocate's wish lists.
Someone as educated as you claim to be should know that it is a logical fallacy to place two non-mutually exclusive issues - such as guns and education - on opposites ends of a spectrum.

If your presupposition were true, there's be no such thing as a firearms instructor.

Also, a teacher, administrator, or staff member carrying a concealed weapon need not spend time conducting "guard duty" in an attempt to find or prevent potential threats; the point is that the firearm is readily accessible should the need arise.
