re: #369 Holidays are Family Fun Time

good question.

Meh, hit post by accident. I was trying to finish up by asking at what point would arming the shit out of these “gun-free zones” be considered a success if no shootings happened, considering they’re in effect to stop only mass shootings like Sandy Hook or Columbine (are they going to strip-search each student or buy metal detectors for even the lowly schools to prevent students, or hell, even teachers, from bringing in weapons?).

They’ll wind up arming a school district in bumfucknowheresville, and after a year (or hell, a week is fine with a gun-nut) all we’ll hear will be how much of a success it was because none of the students were gunned down, not realizing that it probably wouldn’t have happened anyway.

And if you turn the school into kiddie boot-camp, then what? A killer hell-bent on death will just turn to another target of opportunity. And then we’ll wind up needing heavily-armed police at every turn of our lives.
