    There was some guy getting interviewed on one of the US networks the other night about how to tackle mass killings like this in the future and the fella said something along the lines of 'well I guess we can't arm the kids'... he wasn't being ironic about it either. Sounded like he had genuinely given thought to the idea of arming schoolchildren.

    :eek: Yeah and rip away their childhood/innocence.

    Clearly more hall monitors are needed.

    The f***ing NRA should be made an unlawful organisation.

    How the f**k can you differentiate(sp?) between a good guy/bad guy with a gun?

    You just can't have any kind of debate with people who believe that you reduce gun violence by flooding the country with more guns. They are just on a fundamentally different wavelength to sane people!

    At least they've stopped blaming Marylin Manson, that really p***ed me off at the time, as if listening to **** music causes these things to happen

    The NRA lad actually went on a little rant about Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty and some kind of online game that's apparently called "Kindergarten Killer".

    Armed guards at the doors and bulletproof armor for the five year olds.

    Sounds like a good idea.

    Most of these shootings seem to happen in schools so logically they should actually ban schools.

    Can you imagine it came to that. The most developed & modern country in the world (allegedly) and kids need to wear kevlar vests just to go to school.

    If that's the only way to protect 'freedom & liberty' in today's world then it's not worth protecting.

    No doubt their should be an officer of some sort in schools. But that still doesn't solve or even touch the problem of guns in America. That will never be solved imo and will see familiar incidents not just not always at school if they protect them

    You may not be aware of this, but many US schools already have a permanent police presence. This has turned out to be quite problematic as many trivial school incidents have escalated to involve the criminal justice system.

    Sounds like something you'd expect in Iraq.
