Guy is really screwed up, IMO.

He's a perfect candidate to be "Baker-acted."Â*Â*

Love his idea (well, not his idea) of hardening schools to keep out
the gun nuts. Schools don't have enough $$$ to supply kids with
pencils and paper.


I can certainly understand why opinions on gun control issues are so
divided and so earnestly defended.

Isn't somewhere in the middle a common sense and appropriate for the
times position to take?



While we are "hardening schools," we'll have to harden shopping centers,
churches, outdoor concert venues, parking lots, et cetera. The idea of
having a policeman or armed teaching guarding an entire school is
laughable. Most schools are pretty large, multi-floor buildings.

It’s already a one way gun fight, Harry. It might be a bit better than throwing books and staple guns back at the perp.

Actually if they had one of these under every desk a shooter might
look for a softer target. Imagine 160 of these babies from 40 kids
coming at your head in 10-20 seconds.

Maybe if the kids and teachers were armed like Harry’s picture, Boko Haram
and school shooters would have a hard, short life.

Watching the second day of meetings with Trump today. He's coming down
hard on the side of arming certain qualified teachers, janitors,
ex-military etc. to create an "offensive" defense. He praises the NRA
although he has differences with what Wayne LaPierre advocated today.
It is obvious he is hell bent for election (pun not intended) to do
something about school mass shootings.

Good. Let him do something. I don't recall a case of a teacher shooting a bunch of kids (not that
they wouldn't want to every now and then), so let those qualified be armed - secretly, of course.

Given the lack of any other serious options, I have no problem with his
proposal. At least something would be tried.

Yes, the NRA would love to see more firearms sold, more ammo sold, more
firearms in the hands of more people (teachers) and, hell, if a school
is still shot up, well, there weren't enough armed teachers at that
school, eh? The NRA is not offering a "serious" option.
