No comparison..........the military is a controlled situation. Place guns in the hands of 4000 students in a school in Los Angeles and see what happens. I am against gun control but I do not believe they have any place on a campus and uncontrolled. There’s got to be better ways.
“Place guns in the hands of 4000 students in a school in Los Angeles and see what happens.”
INDEED, let’s just see what happens. What you would see is a short term increase in violence to show all the deniers that people are willing to defend themelves.
Then you would see punk little gangbangers understand that they no longer get a free pass at intimidating and harming law abiding people and they will cool their jets. Bullies tend to do that when they do not have a built in advantage.
I beg to differ. Like others here have posted, not every student is going to exercise their right to own a weapon, much less do what it takes to obtain a concealed carry permit...
When in jr high school, my father and his fellow shooting club members used to store their shotguns along with the ammo in their school lockers until after classes, whereupon they had their weekly shoot in the school basement rifle range. They used to walk to school carrying their shotguns, and walk home after their meeting.
Not one boy, aged 12 to 5, ever used their shotgun in anything other than an appropriate manner. This club existed up until the 60s in that school.
When held to appropriate standards, most people with guns do the right things with them.
Sounds like reality of today to mee
