(13,409 posts)1) You do think they're equivalent. That's why you think that if guns are capable of stopping a bad person, they should be put in all schools, 100% of the time when they'd be utilized .0001% of the time.
2) School shootings ARE very rare. So rare in fact that less than .01% of schools have ever experienced a shooting. Every year there are maybe a couple of school shootings when there are over a hundred thousand schools in this country. I know math isn't your forte, but you can do the math. That doesn't mean that it's not a very bad problem and needs to be addressed. Once again, two thoughts which are very compatible. I know keeping one thought in your head at one time is hard, but in order to engage in complex though (lol), you'll need to keep at least two of them in your head.
3) As of right now, there is ZERO information to suggest that armed guards in schools deters violence. Right now there's very little information either way, but you're suggesting that rather than going to the ROOT of the problem, we need to be terrorizing our children and denying them a normal childhood? That's disgusting, and gun nuts like you need to realize that.
4) Need I even bother? Your arguments are so idiotic, a parrot could debunk them. Why don't you go back to telling us how dangerous 911 is? You do know that for satire to work, at some point you need to say that you're using reductio ad absurdum (again, lol), so that you can actually go about making an argument. As it is, you're just flinging your crap around like a crazed ape. Again, maybe thinking isn't for you. You seem more of the shooting type.
