Finally, this generation can see the 2nd amendment as it was meant to be used. If the US had done this after Columbine, a lot of children would have been saved. And you can argue that MORE GUNS MEANS MORE VIOLENCE but I really Have to point out that to prevent a disease epidemic, you have to use a vaccination made from the illness itself to successfully innoculate for resistance to the disease.
I'll also add that firefighters literally fight forest fires with more fire so the original fire has nothing left to burn and the second one is heavily controlled (at least I'm told that's how they sometimes do it)
I've always been a supporter of the second amendment which is what makes me mad when I see idiots calling for gun bans because of a few unstable people, which leaves innocent people defenseless while worthless politicians get armed guards 24/7/365, how many tragedies could have been prevented by even one well placed guard with a service revolver and a well placed bullet (or four) to some nutcase? I can't even count them all!
It has to be enforced in schools because Americans for the last two decades have refused to arm themselves against the violent fringes of society. If every teacher, bus driver, & parent were armed at all times, like we were sixty years ago, virtually no one would entertain the thought of doing the despicable acts that have been perperated in the US in the last few years. It is an effective deterrent. For example: There is virtually no violent crime in most parts of Kentucky (there are a few exception areas) because about 98% of the population is packing instantly accessible heat. There is NO road rage or random aggressive behavior (this includes on the part of the cops!!) when you realize every single car around you has a gun in the glove box, and every home is armed to the teeth, by state law. Folks are respectful there, comparatively (this still includes the cops), & generally very brave as well. A well-armed society is kept in check by the fear of instant death, & is very low stress
As a good example, very few people ever entertain the idea of attacking the police, ONLY because they are very well-armed. If they were not, they would be utterly impotent to serve their purpose. So we not only see, but experience first hand that a wall of men carrying guns in order to stop evil people not only works, but we frigging pay them to do it! So why as a society are we giving up our greatest protection, our own selves, to a small contingent police force that cannot possibly hope to control the growing number of malefactors in our society? Malefactors who are multiplying only because we refuse to present ourselves as THE force to be reckoned with on American soil. It kept communist Russia from invading for the last century.
I meet many Englishmen who feel as they were programmed to feel by the political agents of a nation that is almost a century further advanced in socialist philosophy than are we where the government views all its populace as a chronic citizen-cum-puer eternus, useless eater. What I explain is only natural law. A group of children, once bitten, will be reluctant to harass and corner a stray dog a second time. History makes it very plain that the balance between anarchy and bloody dictatorship is not too definite. Equality is very difficult to endow except that every man truly be king in his own home. Once insured of this, however, one respects another's capabilities to enforce absolute rule on his own property, at need. It may be alarming, and while certainly not perfect, far from it; but I assure you we have never invoked press gangs, or debtor's prisons, on our soil.
