"Which risk is more likely: that someone is going to accidentally set off a gun in class and God forbid hit a student, or someone will come in off the highway and start a random shooting spree?" said Doug Pennington, a spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.What, you mean like this guy, Doug?
Yeah, you're right--only the "Only Ones" are professional enough to carry a gun in a classroom.
Moron.
The good news is the boy genius has given us a "zumbo" with which to hit them with when they and the media go on doing their blood dance.
ReplyDeleteWhile random shootings make headlines, they are extremely rare, Mr Pennington said, adding that fewer than 1 per cent of school-age homicide victims are killed on school grounds, or on the way to and from school. The 95% of the rest are killed while dealing drugs or partaking in gang activity.
Maybe if teachers were left to teach, instead of being forced to act as indoctrination agents for the state, and had the ability to punish behaviors that have led us to where we are and chicken li, err Kristina Tirloni wouldn't have a gripe.
Anyway, congratulations to Mr Thweatt for having the common sense to not rely on the "miracle" technology that everyone agrees does not deter or prevent crimes. However, I suspect that should the guns ever have to be used and save a life we'll never hear about it.

ReplyDeleteSenor Psycho coming in off the highway, of course! And while you're at it, Doug, disarm the cops that are guarding the school, too. Lee Paige (and a host of other "Only Ones") have proven that they are at least as fallible as us lowly humans when it comes to accidental discharges
