Connecticut Shooting

Are most people trained?

This was specifically about armed security in schools. Yes, I assume they would be trained. They are also two separate points. I don't disagree that the world is more dangerous people have guns. I just don't care, because the degree of safety ensured by gun bans isn't significant enough to justify dictating what I am allowed to and not allowed to own.

Also, I understand how comforting the illusion of safety that carrying or having a gun can have, but statistically having a gun on the premises of a school is more dangerous than the risk of an isolated and rare gunman rampaging through the school.


How is a gun in the hands of trained personnel dangerous? You're citing statistics that reference common civilians with unsecured firearms and that isn't applicable. I also aim to not be governed by fear, which is why I am okay with guns existing and being available to most people.

Or we could just accept the risk associated with gun ownership.

And what works for the rest of the world will not necessarily work here. This country is not only enormous and diverse, but it is rather unique. I am sick to death of hearing a European talk about how something worked for their 2-mile-long country with a population of 500,000 and a military budget of 0.


Eh... Well, the scope of this thread is already bigger than it ought to be. No need to invite an even larger expansion.

I picture an army of bite-sized gnomes working beneath the RMN floorboards.

The PC.
Well, there's no option for that because it's not technically a console. But still, a great gadget.


Neither are handhelds.

The numbers say DS if you include handhelds. PS2 if not. My favorite is NES.
