Awol Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Prediction: If they put armed guards in schools, one of those armed guards will go on a rampage and kill kids. Imagine the multiple choice questions on the exam for that job.. You fear that a 12 year old in the school may be carrying a weapon. Do you: a ) Shoot them in the face b ) Brass up the whole corridor - just to be sure c ) Throw a grenade d ) Not take the job because the idea of shooting kids for a living makes you want to commit suicide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 There's some chatter about Ben Affleck running to replace Kerry Yeah I read about this a while ago and it actually made sense. He is well liked in Boston and is actually quite smart . It would be bad news for the GOP too IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 He's despised by a lot of people here too, actually. "Cambridge Liberal", and all that. But you're right, he's not a dummy. He's well informed, and just as qualified as Ted Kennedy Jr. He also has millions of dollars and name recognition. I doubt he'll run this time around, but I wouldn't put it past him down the road.

LockStockVilla Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 About 7 years ago, there were rumours he would run for Senate in Virginia. Never came to fruition though. Would definitely make more sense to run in Mass, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple, then you put an armed guard guard in each school as well, to protect the kids from the armed guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I don't want to sound like a weirdo commie like Obama, but I think the state should pay for every child born into the great nation of America to have a gun. After the age of 10 it should be law that everyone MUST carry a gun at ALL times. If that happened no inocent Americans would ever be shot again.

Xann Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The NRA have decided that attack is the best form of defence, are we surprised? Only by the stupidity of the argument. Let's arm Ian Huntley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The NRA have decided that attack is the best form of defence, are we surprised? And perhaps also that attack is not only for defensive purposes. Also for times when you're just a bit annoyed at someone.

TrentVilla Posted December 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2012 So the latest shooting in the US, this time in New York state. Two firefighters on a shout have been shot, one has died. I guess though the NRA will call for the routine arming of fireman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2012 One conservative commentator made one of the daftest suggestions I've ever heard in the wake of the school shooting. She suggested that kids be taught to run towards a gunman and try to overpower him. Words fail me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, doesn't work. Clearly the intention is to disarm him, and that interferes with his constitutional right to bear arms. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2012 But what about the children's right to bear arms? Surely they as 5 or 6 year olds have the right to carry a shotgun, automatic pistol and an assault rifle in order to protect themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
