Will NRA's call to arms have lasting impact?

Well,

Everyone has there right to their opinion, so, why not have one - three individuals per school that are licensed & trained to carry a firearm with a high enough capacity clip to stop an individual who would think about doing harm to any children. Sometimes, people knowing, that if they try to harm anyone and people are willing to stop them with force, they turn out to be the true cowards they really are and probably may think twice about hurting innocent people. Your politicians can give Billions to foreign goverments that seem to lose most of the money somehow, but, lack the muster to provide phyiscal protection with security at schools and will tell you they can not find the money, passing laws will not protect our children. These cowardly indididuals that do these unspeakable acts only unstand force with force! Hey current administration, put all of are veterans that are trained with firearms and out of work and give them a job protecting our schools. Now that is a common sense approach to a on going problem and not all the hype you politicians  and media spin.

This reminds me of the idiots that want more prisons but don`t want to pay

for it.

The only thing that stops a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun.  If all guns are made illegal that will be a little like making methamphetamines and heroin illegal. 

What would happen if indeed, as suggested by many, we start arming teachers/school administrators with guns so that they could combat the killers of our innocent. Apparently, as the logic goes, these killers would no longer enter schools where they would be killed before they could do their harm.  Success!

But then I suspect that these criminals - whether in touch with reality or not - would look for other sites to make their horrific entrance.  They could, for example, look for places where children gather together.  Children are always going on field trips, often to museums.  So I suspect that the evil ones will eventually show up at such places.  So we now arm the museum personnel.  Success at last - no more museum shootings.

But then there are the parks with playgrounds.  How hard would it be for the evil doer to use his semi-automatic to kill many, and then him/her self.  So we arm the playgrounds.  Let’s no longer speak of success - not yet.

There are the sports venues where children play hockey, or soccer, or basketball or any myriad of athletic games.  Arm the parents, coaches - make the water boy the gun boy. 

And of course there are those indoor playgrounds at fast food restaurants.  We surely can arm the manager, or a couple of the minimum paid workers.

Have we covered everything?  Have we armed everyone yet?

Of course we could regulate the kind of guns our society is allowed to buy.  But then,

there goes freedom.

I cherish my freedom, along with the civilian police state I now so comfortably live in.
