Flame me if you want: My wife and I are sad to know the NRA's wet dream of "Arm Guards" in schools [View all]

[diabeticman]

is something the Obama Administration is basically making this one of the previsions agreed to today. just makes us sad.

No my wife and I don't have children but we have Nieces and Nephews and we don't like the thought of them going to school seeing an armed police person.

Tell me HOW or WHY someone needs a weapon that can shoot 100 bullets in less time it takes to blink one's eye.

Think back to your days in school and now imagine your children or grandchildren or your niece/nephew going to school next week or next month and imagine what kind of impression or memory this will make for them.

Do the children really need to lose such a innocence time in life because a lobbyist group would rather have guns in this country that can shoot 100 bullets a minute than to have common sense gun laws.

My wife's uncle was a hunter if fact one of the family's cherish memories --that has been handed down is that My wife's grandmother once had a house in a area of town that was just starting to be laid out for housing. Basically it was there house and it was surrounded by woods so the uncle would go to the house open the windows of the dinning room sit in a chair and wait for deer. My wife's grandmother served him food and coffee and when a deer came within range the uncle shot and hit the deer from the dinning room window BUT he didn't need several bullets . Just a riffle.

My wife and I understand some people do need pistols/ handguns from protection of others who may hurt them because no matter how we might try their are people who need to protect themselves from others BUT how the hell is that handgun going to protect that person from the bully/nut/person who is determine to kill them gets a semi automatic machine gun or a gun which was made for one use only...WAR

I'm just upset by the talk of adding guards BUT we can't get freakin congress to ban certain weapons because they are afraid of a freakin LOBBY group.
