Uh, who the fuck doesn't carry with one in the chamber for starters. Two, move off the axis. Don't fucking stand still. Three, outlaw knifes, they kill people with guns.

Yeah I know it was 2 women....the % of men in school roles have decreased in recent years.

Sources? My wife the teacher says it's about the same from what she sees.

Well while he was trying to injure the principal someone else could have also taken him down because the principal may not have gone down on the first "hit" with a knife. I think he took out 2 adults pretty much at once (principal and school psychologist?).

Imagine how many would have been knifed if the principal had a gun.

I believe at least 20 children were knifed the same day as the Newtown tragedy and all survived (probably back home by now).

I think US children are more likely to die in a car accident on the way to/from school, than in a school shooting. Maybe some of our automotive freedoms should be taken away instead?

I'm not sure I get the comparison of a mass shooting to a car "accident". There are already controls like speed limits, seatbelt/car seat use, vehicle safety standards etc....but no requirement for moving bodyguard armored trucks to protect from oncoming traffic.

Well I consider children going to school in the US (should be carefree) to be a very different scenario from people working in an embassy in Pakistan or Libya.

What don't your understand about "shall not be infringed?". How about you stay open minded and let me introduce you to some of these evil weapons?

I just think they were referring to the rifles they had at the time and not the prospect of "weapons of mass destruction", to borrow a popular term (albeit stretched in this context).

It was also in China. The government controls the news and details of what they print. You don't know if any of the victims died or went home either way.

As our government controls our media. Early reports stated the rifle was in the trunk.

Now we have this debate after the obviously biased ME stated all wounds were caused by multiple rounds from the weapon that was found in the trunk.

I'm just saying...there was a "mass attack" with a knife the same day as the Newtown tragedy and all victims in that attack survived. I'm sure the parents/families of the Newtown victims would have preferred to have their loved ones home with them for Christmas notwithstanding recovering from the mental/physical trauma of surviving a knife attack. I also understand that an attack with a knife is psychologically more difficult that a gun attack due to the very "personal" nature of a stabbing (ie. proximity needed, looking someone in the eye while the stabbing is committed versus the more detached psychological aspect of shooting someone). Obviously in this particular case some of the victims were shot at close range while others not so close (which was more common with Aurora, Columbine, Virgina Tech, etc). At least the potential massacre in AZ was thwarted in the past couple days.

That's a very weak analogy. There's a big difference between guarding someone from escaping and protecting someone from an attacker. Should we remove the guards at the US Embassies all over the world? In your view, they are also locked up and have their freedom taken away. Fucking pathetic distorted view...

I'm not saying all guns should be banned - I don't think that would be legal anyway. What was available to citizens back when the Constitution was written is very different from what is available today.

My wifes school (an Arlington ISD JRHS) has a full time cop on campus. Seems like a great idea for all schools to me.

[mikec]

So?

He is saying that the intent should be transferred laterally. Which, it is not. The government has full auto, we have semi auto with whoppingly huge 30 round mags.

It is unbalanced, and we aren't bitching about that. We just want to keep what we have. That is not a bad thing.

Mentally ill people will still use any means available to accomplish their wants. The other 99.9999999% of us that abide by the law should not be forced to give up one tiny little facet of the freedoms afforded us by the hundreds of thousands that shed their blood for the .00000001% that act like fucking idiots.
