This is true, if the person was determined enough, like a terrorist. But for your average antisocial teenager it will require a lot of balls to massacre that many people up close as opposed to the simple pull of a trigger.
Don't you think you'd have an easier chance against someone with a knife or machete, instead of going on a wild shoot out with someone who woke up with the intent to kill?
I may be using the term incorrectly, but that’s what I’ve always called it.
Why not arm the teachers. And primary kids? What could possibly go wrong?
And everyone has the right to think your opinion is idiotic.
That’s another thing that shouldn’t be sold to the general public - Kevlar anything. There’s just no need for it.

It's nuts. You can not only be kitted out like a swat team member but you can have bullet proof fashion items as well: https://bulletproofzone.com/collections/adult-bulletproof-clothing
So God is letting this stuff happen until more people believe or something?
Your going to get as much help from God as you would Santa Claus.
I swear, he is better at the logistics of feeding people than any other government or NGO. If we had knighthood, he surely would be knighted by now.
I literally started tearing up when I just heard this.
fecking hell. She started off on the right track and then completely veered off course
My point is the guy who wants the gun will still get it…criminals have illegal guns all the time. So if someone wanted to do it they would have a gun and you would just sit and watch as you mowed down.
As I think yours is equally if not more.
Just cause you haven’t been invaded yet does not mean it won’t happen. Let me remind you of 1942.
The difference is I'm right. I'd also guess that you haven't been the victim of gun crime.
A militia wouldn’t stop invaders.

Do you know how hard it is to get an illegal gun? And the penalties for having one? Except possibly in the US where the millions of legal guns provide a fantastic source of stolen guns to feed the black market.
"You are bringing guns to a drone fight" Jim Jefferies
First of all, no person having a serious conversation is trying to ban all guns. It's an non starter. What we want is legislation. I need to be 21 to drink, need to pass safety courses and vision check-ins to get and keep a drivers license. It's ridiculous to think we can't have sensible things like that for gun ownership. To you other point, I don't want to be freeking Rambo. If I am shopping with my family and someone starts shooting, my first thought isn't "wow, wish I had a gun". My first thought would be "how to I get my family and myself the hell out of there.
In the US particularly. Even elsewhere a total ban would be hard. Shame.
These people are brainwashed and bought by the gun lobby. Nothing will change. Even worse, this Supreme Court will always side with the gun lobby.
Your right ? Why because you say so?
Allied invasion of North Africa?
I rather have A chance then no chance.
Its not stupid. Tell that to one of the parents. No guns means less chance of one being used. Ok you still will have gang violence, drug related killings but the usual typical mass shooter will find it much harder to carry out these horrific acts. If the government passed a law I would have no issue turning in any weapon. These are kids who are dying. Also wasn’t there a cop on the scene before this kid got in the school who called for backup while the shooter went on a rampage? Did the cop have a gun? How did that work out. Maybe I don’t know all the details of the cop but if kids are going to be killed you give your life for them.If it was my kid who got shot they would have to drag me from the Senate and god help any idiot who thinks more guns is the answer and says it to my face.
As someone rightly said earlier, you’ve seen ‘Red Dawn’ far too often.
No, because the idea that more guns is the answer to gun crime is insane and is totally contradicted by all of the evidence. The number of guns owned always increases the rate (not just the number) of gun deaths. Which is why the US has such a horrendous rate of gun deaths.
She doesn't actually believe in god. She's playing a role and this gets her money from the morons in her base.
It’s never going to be zero sum, any lessening of gun violence by whatever common sense method is a good thing. Cigarettes weren’t banned, they just had restrictions placed on where they could be smoked. Hundreds of thousands of people’s lives were saved yearly worldwide by these common sense restrictions. The same thing can happen for gun control.
Any inkling why ZA wasn’t included in this?No, because the idea that more guns is the answer to gun crime is insane and is totally contradicted by all of the evidence. The number of guns owned always increases the rate (not just the number) of gun deaths. Which is why the US has such a horrendous rate of gun deaths.
If you plotted # of deaths rather than rate per 100k the line would be heading almost north.
