Are you watching the NRA press conference?

There are over ninety thousand public schools in the US.... So the NRA wants us to hire 90k people trained to use firearms by January 2nd?

Um, who is gonna pay for this?

9/11 , they used box cutters

There are approx 6m unemployed. As we discussed the other day. Look at the current unemployment rates of veterans.

I'm a gun owner and supporter of the 2nd amendment, but decals telling the world you own guns DOES NOT make you safer. In fact, it makes you more of a target to potential thieves ("hey, this guy has some guns..let's break into the house when he's not around." Most gun owners I know never advertise that we own guns, as we don't want them to get stolen.

As for gun bans, they won't work in light of the fact that there are already 300 million guns out there. Banning guns will be just as effective as Prohibition in the 1920s. Alcohol was banned because it was responsible for the pain and suffering of many. But the problem; the demand is insatiable, therefore it didn't work. The same thing with guns. Just foolish to bring up gun bans.

As for armed guards in schools, who the fuck is going to pay for that? Sounds like TSA 2.0 if you ask me. I'm not jazzed about my kids being around a mall rent-a-cop who thinks he's George Zimmerman. So if we are talking about putting trained black-ops type guards at our schools, someone is going to have to pay for that shit.

And the NRA blaming movies and videos games is just stupid. They had a chance to step up, and whiffed BADLY.

Even if you know what you are doing, it takes a little while to break into a gun safe that's anchored down. I have never had a gun stolen, no one in my family has had a gun stolen. I have had one burglar break in my whole life and the burglar was chased away by my neighbor who pointed a gun at him.

Yes, just what we need. Minimum wage mall rent-a-cops with a George Zimmerman complex patrolling our schools with guns. I'm not sure the best argument is, "let's hire all the poor unemployed folks in this country to patrol our schools with guns."

Assuming 100,000 schools at $50K a pop (not including benefits), and you are looking at $5 BILLION.

yes and they tightly control the sale of ammo. I think its only 50 rounds per person pretty much for life

Oh my god today really must be the end of the world. Im in perfect agreement with you

A lot of folks don't have gun safes (I have two, a large Superior Safe and a bio-safe next to my bed). I've known many folks who have had guns stolen (mostly from their cars).

I just think it is a bad idea to put those decals on your home or car, ESPECIALLY those that say, "I shoot first ask questions later" type of decals (as they can complicate any self defense claims you may need to bring. Guns are valuable commodities, and thieves will target you if you advertising that you have a lot of expensive weaponry in your home or car. Most gun nuts I know (and I know many) NEVER advertise their gun ownership to the general public.
