29. Everywhere that I've seen that particular stupid assed argument, my reply
Wed Dec 19, 2012, 11:19 PM
Dec 2012

has been:

So, instead of the principle packing as well, how about just taking those weapons out of the equation all together? Why is the answer to arm others? Which is really better? Have both persons armed, or have both persons disarmed? Furthermore, what is your answer going to be when one principal, now "armed" as per your desire accidentally leaves their arm where a student gets a hold of it and kills class mates? In 2009-2010 there were 98,817 registered public schools (not even counting the private). That's relying on 98,817 persons to be your idyllic responsible gun owner. What will your answer be when an angry parent attacks a principal, takes the gun and uses it on the principal or others? Will you THEN be willing to ban these machines that are only good for killing?

I've reached my breaking point of accepting 250 year old constitutional doctrine on this issue. We're not talking muskets on a homestead anymore. If you want your 2nd amendment, as written, and as intended, then move out of my city, or any city in civilization. Carve yourself out a chunk of homestead.. and then you can have your cherished fucking musket."
