Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: A question for this group-- [View all]digonswine
(1,486 posts)I will start with this-I can't tell if it the 1st or 2nd point-
It is about safety--
I am never going to look for 100% safety. Not gonna happen. I am talking about those that are not cognizant of their actions. I don't think they are intentionally being dumbasses, but they are unsafe. They did not absorb the weak teachings of Hunter's Safety.
To be clear-I think we just throw privs at people in this country. The ability to drive a car seems to depend upon the mood of the DMV person at the time. It is fair to say, I think, that we don't take safety very seriously in this here US of A.
I would like it to be VERY HARD to get a licence to carry a gun. I think confiscation is a bit far, but purchasing should be a real hassle.
We know a few things from the studies that have been done.I am not going to detail all of the nasty effects of having a gun in the house. We all know the data and I don't want that discussion.
I work in a school-I teach in a school. Kids are scared-beyond the point they should be, perhaps, but they truly are. I try to do my part to explain that school is a safe place.
I will ask you or anyone that wants to respond--for their questions--
Why are there no adults doing anything about this?
Why in the world do we need to worry about a nut entering our school and killing us?
BTW-if you(not YOU DIS) respond with logistics and advice about the number of entrances to a school-you instantly lose any credibility with any thinking person.
