What's the worse that could happen?

Crazy rednecks shooting lost campers?

Grown men killing one another playing quick draw?

Insane professors systematically executing their colleagues?

Middle school murders?

Multiple drive-by killings in Huntsville?

14 yr old kids dying on the front lawns of their neighbor's house?

Preteen girls mowed down in the street?

literally hundreds of shooting incidents every single month?

Getting ranked 4th in the nation for gun deaths per-capita?

Getting ranked 2nd in gun deaths the very next year?

I mean come on, why should we be listening to these big city liberals, we obviously have everything under control. right? Grow up people, all you gun lovers will change your tune when some maniac in Kevlar stalks the halls of your child's school with an AK-47. You'll watch your kids being lowered into the ground and wonder why you didn't do anything to prevent it.

Yes you have a good point Kenneth.We need to arm ourselves and our teachers and school leaders.

Kenneth, just move to New York.

Sounds like a " George Wallace Yankees political speech " to me Mo.

New York City? In the voice of Picante Pace commercial.

@Kenneth......Hong Kong (CNN) -- On Friday morning, a man walked through the entrance of an elementary school and, without warning, began ruthlessly cutting down children at the school. Before he was subdued, nearly two dozen were hit.

While it sounds like the horrific massacre in Connecticut, this attack took place about 8,000 miles away in central China. And while several of the victims were reported in critical condition, none of the 22 children were killed. The 36-year-old suspect in China -- which has strict gun control laws -- attacked the children with a knife, according to local reports.

Kenneth, over 116 school children were victims of hammers,meat cleavers and knives,but none were attacked with a gun.China has the strictest gun laws ,so your logic is flawed .This was done by red commies, not rednecks, Capice !!!!!!

But William, the difference is NONE of the children in China died. Had this man had access to gun, I'm sure the story would have ended differently. If 2 young adults, or Amy Bishop, would have walked into the classrooms with knives, they could/would have been subdued quickly.

For Kenneth. This is the worse that could happen.

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20,000,000 dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1..5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control:

56,000,000!!!

Kenneth, come on!!! Really? When that individaul walks in and I am around, I will do my best to take him out with my weapon. Do not punish us law abiding citizens beacuse of the acts of mentally disturbed individuals. As a matter of fact, my guns must be defective, they haven't killed anybody. You don't like the second amendment and my right to have arms for my protection, like someone before me said, move to New York, or to Mexico, where there are the toughest gun laws in the world. Chicago, boy gun control is really working at both places. Gun homicides are up, but they got the gun control!! Yea buddy! What are you going to do when the day comes that you cannot defend yourself? When you cannot own a gun and defend yourself against an armed intruder? What will you do? In essence your logic is , control the law abiding citizens, criminals cannot be controlled for they are not law abiding and they the bad guys will have the guns, not the good guys. Makes a great deal of sense don't it? So, what will you do when the armed bad guy comes at YOU??

Consider this Kenneth: You want the same government that regulates cars & drivers to regulate guns!? How many people are killed by cars every year? How many drivers should not be behind the wheel of a car? Some studies say morethan 30 % are not qualified to drive. Gun control is more flawed logic on the part of reactionists. Here is a solution suggestion: Do studies on the minds & medications (legal or illegal) of these lunatics. That will lead to more than just solving symptoms.....

Yes, obviously the answer to gun-violence is more guns. Someone shoots up a school, arm the teachers! Better yet, why not just give the students guns? Here's the thing, I am an educator, I own a gun, I don't hate guns, but I don't trust the average person with an assault rifle and so far, not a single "brave" gun owner has stepped in to stop one of these mass shootings. So save your BS and daydreaming about being a hero. Call me crazy all you want, but take a look at a the facts first. We can't even keep the Resource Officers we have from abusing students and when someone does bring an automatic weapon to a school around here, do you really think you'll just happen to be around the corner? You won't and kids will die just like they always do, the NRA will still not be available for comment, and you will be sitting at home with your useless arsenal and one less loved one. Your entire argument is based around the myth that guns save more lives than they take, and I don't have to counter it, facts do that for me. I should have known better, have fun with your sucking chest wounds.

First of all Mr. Educator, I don't BS and take strong exception to that. You still didn't answer my question. You need to stick to your profession because you are living in a fantasy world. You are right on some points, You fail to mention that ALL of the offenders in these events are or were mentally ill. You don't like SRO's? Then I ask where would or schools be without them. Assuming you live and work in Decatur, Decatur city schools have been recognized as the safest in the state more than once. I never implied that I would be around the corner teach, I said if I was. So, based on your college educated rhetoric, if a crazy person comes to school armed, it is better not to fight fire with fire. We should let the person just keep killing. The reason no one oh smart one has stopped one of these guys is because NO ONE was there to stop them. No police, no armed principal, NO ONE. Posted in some cases GUN FREE ZONES, boy that sign really worked huh? If there was,name it teach. I am no hero by the way, and never proclaimed to be one, nor is there a myth that guns save more lives than they take. People kill people teach, regardless of the tool they choose to use. I was in a profession where guns were used, and guns were pulled on me. I assure you, if one is pulled on you, you if you have one will pull yours or die trying. What would you do , throw rocks? I suggest that you keep to your teaching ,and let the professionals who deal with criminals along with input from school leaders figure this out. As far as my sucking chest wounds? Real mature teach, I hope you are more mature with your teaching skills, uncalled for. Arm teachers? No, Arm students? (your words) ridiclious, SRO officers in every school, trained professionals? YES. Of course you will be against that, they are armed and according to you they abuse kids...YEA RIGHT. Teachers don't know everything, and you have gone out of your way and proved that here.

We should just put Charles Kirby in charge. He would just lie about the statistics and fix everything. That's KKKKKirby's way!

From what I read in the papers and see on the news, there are as many kids being sexually molested by school teachers than are shot with guns. As an educator Kenneth, how do you propose protecting our school kids from the sexual predators entrusted with looking out for them? If we can stop one group of nuts, we ought to be able to stop the other. And yes, before anyone says it, I know you don't die from being sexually molested.

Well done Thomas E.!

So, Kenneth. Move to China.

Sorry if my "college educated rhetoric" upsets you. Just to be clear, I obviously don't believe that school shooters should be left alone to kill people, I simply believe that guns belong in the hands of trained law enforcement professionals, not mentally ill rednecks with delusions of heroism or rising up against their own government. As much as I appreciate the history lesson, that happens to be my area of expertise, and while I can understand the sentiment behind your argument, you should probably could consider that a few overweight gun owners will have no way to defend themselves if our government did randomly decide turn against its own people. A million assault rifles wouldn't stand a chance against a government in possession of heat-seeking missiles, smart-bombs, chemical weapons, armored tanks, jet fighters, etc. So there goes that argument. The reality is this: assault rifles aren't being used to defend homes and families, they are being used in mass-shootings that occur in public places, usually so quickly that by the time anyone knows what is happening, the shooter has taken their own life. So that said, I guess I'll move to China.

Hey Kenneth, in a previous statement you said "I have never seen a story about an armed killed being stopped by someone carrying a concealed weapon" Well here is astory that happened right after the Newton Shooting. But the media didnt report it as much as they wanted to report about how EVIL an inanimate object is.

Portland mall Shooter stopped by man with a concealed carry handgun..There you go.

There are literally TONS of other reports, but the media doesnt want to push those stories, they only want to incite more fear of firearms than report about the good they do.

Kenneth, assault rifles were not used in Newtown,

A rifle was found in the TRUNK of a car at the school,

He used 4 pistols, that he stole from his Mother.

She was at fault for not securing her weapons,

She knew her son was mentally ill. Armed citizens

Are stopping crimes everyday, you just will not

hear about it on the lamestream media, or read about

it in the Decatur Daily Dishrag! Did you not hear about the

woman in Georgia who was on the phone with her husband

when a man with a CROWBAR broke in her home in broad

daylight, she and her kids hid in the attic, and he found

them, she shot 6 rounds, hit him with 5, and he fled the scene

and is still in the hospital.
