RE: Would we be safer without guns?
howdy @smithlabs great post, I know it's a serious topic but the "needlepoint" line cracked me up! I wrote a post about how to stop these insane mass shootings in my blog by examining Israel who, although they have had more terrorists after their kids than any nation on earth, has never had a mass school shooting because of the system they use. No one can even get close to their kids because of armed guards and locked steel doors so no one gets in unless they're supposed to be there. so simple, why don't we protect our kids that way instead of having insane gun-free zones?
I have a friend who went to high school in Israel. There is another reason they do NOT have these problems there. A large number of the students are armed. He said you treat a girl respectfully there, because you never know which girls are packing! Something I never considered.... :)
lol, that's brilliant! Well I know that in most schools at least 2 teachers carry but they don't let anyone know which ones but I didn't know about students being armed. different culture and circumstances but it sure works, hopefully their students are more stable than ours. thank you smithlabs!
You grow up fast when everyone around you wants you dead! Our snowflakes are not up to it; but my kids could have safely carried! :)
exactly.
Come to think of it, both my kids carry 40 cal pistols. Philip is a CLEET guard on a local private university (Tulsa University) and Jennifer is a Pharmacist with CC. Both like 40 cal pistols. and both are dead shots!
whoa.. awesome!
TU requires a shooting test every three months. Passing is 70; Philip was mad he only got 96. We went to the range so he could practice with the new firearm. :) Jennifer does not use sights, so she may be just a little better....
wow I want to be around those guys if it gets bad! what does Jennifer use if she doesn't use sites?
even if their students were less stable with lots of good guys with guns and good kids with guns no shooter can shoot that many people before they get shot.
very true @funbobby51 thank you! I appreciate your blog and your courage, followed and upvoted your "couger" joke. what state are you in?
disarray ;) MA
lol! thanks!
