In reply to the discussion: Right Wing Extremist LaPierre's Lunatic Plan for Police in Schools Debunked [View all]TPaine7
(4,286 posts)61. Wow, that's brilliant!
Once again, you think that employing something .00001% of the time and 100% are equivalent.
No, that's not what I think at all.
On edit: Let me see if I can explain this like a child might understand. In spite of the media coverage, school shootings are actually fairly rare (yet still occur far too often).
No they are not rare. They happen all the time. I would expect a comment about them being rare to come from the NRA.
Because of that rarity, putting additional guns in schools would make it far more likely that kids and others would be hurt or killed by those very same guns than by any external guns.
I'm sure that you have something to back that up besides your natural brilliance. Like for instance, the fact that more kids are hurt or killed on average in school shootings by armed security in the 1/3 of schools that already have it--and many of those guards are not even cops--than are killed on average in the other 2/3 of schools in schools that have no armed security.
Oh, and I'm sure lots of kids are killed or hurt by the teachers who already carry legally?
If I only data showing the high likelihood of death by cops and CCW teachers--and I am oh so sure it exists--I could answer any questions. I know, I'll just source "EOTE's intuition and imagination." That should convince anyone
Extremely public figures like Presidents, Mayors and so forth have far, far more bad guys with guns who'd like to kill them. Due to that fact, in spite of the fact that having more people with guns around them is very dangerous, it's less dangerous than having those many gun nuts have unfettered access to people they want to kill. Understand, Jimmy?
I've spent considerable time around cops I know. And they carry, even off duty. I didn't think it was "very dangerous" to be around them, and they didn't seem to think it was "very dangerous" but none of us are as smart as you, I guess.
Now that I'm enlightened, I guess I'll have to make sure not to go on trips or hang out with off duty police officers. Thanks for your great wisdom.
You're so smart!!!
