Back-to-school essential...?

[schmenke]

I dunno... if my kid was attending a school where one of these is required, I'd think seriously about a transfer to another school and/or neighbourhood :s

I think they should just give all the kids guns. I think kids should have the right to bear arms too :D

Imagine dads wiping a tear from the eye as little johnny goes to his first day of class armed with an M16 with a grenade launcher, sniper sight and some NVG's :D

"Joe Curran, a co-founder of "My Child's Pack", said the majority of school shootings involve handgun calibre bullets, fired from a distance of between one and three metres."

Hmmm. I spot a flaw.

At a distance of between one and three metres I reckon it won't be too hard aiming for the bits that aren't covered by the rucksack....

Exactly my thought too. Maybe they should invent bulletproof balaclavas, t-shirts, trousers, underwear and shoes for the market?

Exactly my thought. That's why I think we should arm the kids :p

Who was it that said we shouldn't have the right to bear arms, but the right to arm bears? I think kids should have the right to arm bears. I'd like to see a polar bear with weapons designed by a seven-year-old, that would be fun ;)

Its not an original idea though, you can buy bulletproof briefcases for self defence already

But Looby, some on this board think Hoodies should be abolished, because criminals might cover their faces while wearing hoodies.....
