So here's a question : What makes a school different ?
I'd just like to fully understand the logic involved here .
Tell that to the 20 kids and their families, they will be happy for you.Quote:

Did the gunman in this case have any criminal record which would have prevented him obtaining a firearm?Quote:

that is partly because of gun laws. you can own one but it is a hassle to take it anywhere. Here in AZ you can pack open or concealed most places. At the Breakfast cafe everyone is packing. You may get one or two of them but will never get 28 of them. The school shooter broke into the school - had the guard been properly armed and security measures in place the story would be different. In safe areas we tend to let our guard down. I remember running straight to the gate to catch a flight in final boarding. I will agree Europe is probably overall more safe but that will change. Bombings will be more the norm in many places. It would take 10 connecticut's to equal one Spain. It is not the weapon it is the idiot and I don't see a way to control that.
Yes a very interesting point. I would like a indepth drug report to be public on all violent crimes in this country. But we have developed "drug welfare" to keep the ghettos from rioting. Meth users, makers and sellers should be eliminated within 90 days of being found guilty.Quote:

I have no problem with background checks but it really solves no problems. You can purchase a firearm straight away from a private party and these cannot be policed. Also rounding up over 300 million guns would be a monumental task if you could ever get it approved. It is probably a good time to start a security company. However most security companies are run incorrectly and the security officer would just be another casualty in cases such as this.Quote:
