"Are you seriously making the case that we should just repeal the laws against murder just because some people are not going to follow it anyway? "
Not in the least. I'm saying simply banning a behavior is not going to stop someone with disregard for laws and societal norms from doing it. *Especially* someone intending to (or at least accepting it as a possible outcome) die as a result of their actions. |

C'mon now.
Are you seriously making the case that we should just repeal the laws against murder just because some people are not going to follow it anyway? Now, while I don't think guns are the proximate cause of these mass shootings, they do make the altercations much more deadly. On the same day of this tragedy, a man in Central China attacked a primary school and stabbed 22 children. Thankfully none of the children were killed. Had he had a firearm, that would not have been the case. I favor making it much more difficult to obtain a firearm. Yeah, people will still do crazy things, but maybe not so many people will die... |

Deliberately arming teachers is a stupid thing to suggest.
However, thinking that a ban on teachers bringing guns to school would somehow prevent a teacher who snaps from doing so is equally stupid. Banning someone from doing something only stops law abiding people from doing it. By definition. The law currently prevents me from renting a Hummer and plow into a large group of kids at a soccer game, because I do not wish to do such things. However, someone who disregards the law is "free" (at least for a few minutes) to do so. What law can prevent that from happening? |

Good I agree there are many people who should not carry a gun, bicycle chain for instance. I do think that the responsibility for sane responsible people safety rests squarely on their own shoulders. The SCOTUS just happens to agree with me, for now.
Just like storms, tragedies will happen, there will be nut cases that slip through the cracks. The media does not help by making celebrities out of these nut cases, but the first amendment is as important as the rest. We could help by turning off the news before it becomes hysteria, and possibly promoting copy cats. |

I notice nobody is complaining about the constant slaughter of children in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Sar,
Are you deliberately being obtuse? there are gun controls in place. You attempting to use this tragic incident to advance your agenda is repulsive. |

*I notice nobody wants to deal with the fact that countries teeming with automatic weapons such as Switzerland have very low murder rates.*
Ditto for Israel. |
