Heard this on the news this morning, some NRA guy said that.
What a dick.

    There's also the problem that children need to feel safe and relaxed to learn. A school where teachers and guards walk around with guns would probably not feel safe to a kid!

    it would not have happened if this douchebag did not get a gun too...

    fact is, the mom was the responsible gun owner and her son took her guns and killed her and 20 + other people.

    the argument of more guns being necessary for security does not hold water and it is pure conjecture.

  • Asinine. Just sheer stupidity.

    I prepared something more elogant... but deleted it. I mean, what the hell can you really say about something so moronic?

    Why can't we go one step further and say if nobody had any guns to begin with... the massacre wouldn't have happened?

    The irony of such a stupid remark is that it is consistently one of the key arguments gun lovers put forth in the defence for resisting legislation.

    The NRA are a bunch of fucks.
    Morons trying to make a country paranoid.
    Cannot believe how they can wield so much power and influence on American politics.
    I hope Obama stands up to them.
    The proof that guns are bad is in the bar graph I saw on the news this morning, the USA gun related homicides are way above that of other countries in the world (including Australia) that have restrictions on guns.

  • Let us all arm ourselves with a gun! Fucking fools!

    This is asinine. I have no secure place in which to lock a gun, even if I wanted to. What would happen if some kid knew I had a gun in my desk? Then all those metal detectors everybody wants to install in schools would be unnecessary as long as they knew what teachers actually, legally, had guns inside the school. And kids should feel safe with their teachers not be afraid that a crazed teacher or another student could snap at any time and grab a gun. Let's address the real underlying problems in our society instead of continuing to sweep the problems under the rug.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    I AM MINE
  • It's just so absurd. Why would ANYONE need a gun! It's just insane! All guns should be melted and shaped into showels and flowers should be planted. Guns wohooooooo! Let's get guns and shoot everyone in the face wohoooooooiooo! Fuck! Why do people have to be so stupid!

  • The NRA needs to show a little humanity and compassion and let people grieve. Let people grieve the loss of these lives before they start freaking out about the possible loss of their rights to own an inanimate object that was used as the very tool in these killings. It's this kind of stuff that makes it really hard to hear anything they have to say.

    The thought isn't exactly wrong. We have started to arm pilots for the exact same reason. Arming a teacher may not be the precise right answer, but why was there no adult present that was capable of protecting these children?

    Almost every school near me has it built into their budget for at least one officer to be there during school hours.

    Nice possible parallel except that very very few pilots actually carry in the cockpit because the fear of accidental discharge in that environment outweighs the very small chance of a hijacking.
