We’ve had guns around since I was a kid in the fifties, but only recently have people been committing mass murder with them. Guns haven’t changed. What has? I’ll start: violent movies and video games, misogynistic rap lyrics, welfare, drugs, kids without two parents (that would be a man and a woman) and a reluctance to discipline. Not all of these will be found in all cases, but I think we should review those changes. Perhaps we’ll find something. Oh, and arming teachers are a quick and cheap way to limit the carnage should it occur, while we research better solutions.

Mr Goldfarb, no law of the land can prevent what happened in that elementary school or the theatre in Aurora. Now, that all states should follow the same laws on gun control? Yes.
That outlawing high capacity magazines would reduce the number of casualties in an incident like this? Very likely.
Nothing can be done to prevent bad guys from getting their hands on guns or to keep guns out of the hands of folks with mental deficiencies. We can make it harder by raising the price of illegal guns, armed security in schools, more thorough background checks.

If it wasn’t for NRA Endorsement you wouldn’t have had the 1968 gun control act, which prevented people from ordering guns directly from the factory and receiving them from UPS, and the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.

This will not change until the drugging of kids is stopped (this did not
start to happen until the 90s – when the drugging of students on pharmas really took off), people accept personal responsibility for
their own security and those placed under their charge, and schools are
not constructed like prisons that little kids can not get out of (those classrooms are locked down and no one can get out of them. In
modern schools, the windows are sealed, too high or not there at all so there is no way to run out of a classroom that is locked down). I really do not understand why
anyone would work at a public school. It’s just too dangerous,
especially if security is contracted out to third parties that will show
up minutes after it is needed.

Liked this a lot, subject was awful. Crossing fingers Obama can start something against guns but why is it that the NRA is never held to count? Why is there not huge banner headlines on front pages asking “why is NRA not held accountable for these atrocities?” I find it a bit unfair to blame the pollies.
