Yah that's good, explain that reasoning to the parents of these kids, I'm sure they would understand your logic. To compare cars and guns is sort of like apples and oranges don't you think, hard to conceal a hummer in my waistband for when I want to whip it out and crush someone, oh and yeah, on most nights you can see the local TV newsheads talking about the numerous murders by people in their Saturn's.

You don't think that today's kids should have an expectation of safety whenever they travel in public or attend schools.

This "right to bare arms" crap is old news, this was drafted up over 2 hundred years ago, when local farmsteads were being attacked by the natives and the odd stranded British soldier... seriously, do you honestly think they had SAR's in mind when they made this up, I believe they were still using ball and shot from a fecking musket, point one of those at me and I gurantee, you only get off one shot as long as the powder is dry, and the marksmanship of those things were negligible at best, so the chances are you would miss and I would tomahawk your ass....

gore, the difference between being attacked by someone with a knife or a gun/rifle is no comparison, for one thing to stab someone you have to oh I would guess...be right next to them unless your Segal of course.

It's easier to shoot someone with a gun from a distance than trying to throw a knife at them but from what I saw on the news here the guy wasn't exactly a long distance shot.
no but when your told to stand at the point of a gun, your perspective changes, if you tell me to stand or kneel at the point of a knife and there is 20 of us, guess what, it ain't going to happen, but a pistol is different, who is going to take the first bullet?
