So, no. An armed guard in a bank, airplane or school will NOT make anyone safer.
you’re (sarcastically) comparing apples and screwdrivers.
dobro is right: this idea of armed guards is a red herring, and it deflects from the real issue: access to weapons by nut jobs. and we need to take a broader look at the definition of “nut job.”
ed: so tell me how a security guard armed with a hand gun is going to bring down a guy with full body armor while staring down the barrel of a high-caliber rifle and surrounded by children
in my opinion, you’re just ensuring that the security guard will be the first target.
and hey, smitty. right back atcha. conservatives won’t talk about sensible gun control – or even admit that we have a problem which isn’t caused by poor people – because liberals say so. it goes both ways.
listen. i know it’s uncomfortable for you, and the NRA draws a lot of water for republicans. but we are going to be examining our right to bear arms, which arms are appropriate, and who can get them. and we’re going to do that first.
the country demands it.
hell, i was demanding it after gabby giffords got shot in the face. and i remember telling republicans, “you had better ferret out the gun nuts in your midst, because they will take you down with them.”
but did you listen? no.
