In reply to the discussion: Right Wing Extremist LaPierre's Lunatic Plan for Police in Schools Debunked [View all]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.
No, I'm against the NRA position.
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.
No they're not rare. And you're the guy who thinks being around cops all day is "very dangerous"?!!! Rare school shootings, indeed. That sounds like an NRA talking point.
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.
Wow! You've totally retreated from your "having more people {cops} with guns around them is very dangerous" stance and are retreating to "normal childhood" and "terrorizing"? I never said that armed guards in schools deters violence, the subject was armed POLICE OFFICERS, and even so I never said that they deterred violence.
Your quick retreat from your "very dangerous" position along with your diversionary tactics make me fear encounters with gun nuts. If even you, as great as you are, can't back up what you say, I am worried about facing NRA types.
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.
Yes, you're brilliant, but even you can't back up what you said. You run from your own points. I need to find a better mentor in this anti-gun belief system.
