think of the tragedies that happened at U.S. high schools in recent years. They surely are linked to that right to bear arms.

Nice try troll, but it won't fly. All school shootings are done in no gun zones, they are also(except for the college shooting)done by teens who stoled the weapons they used. If we truly had the right to keep and bear arms the school shootings wouldn't have happened as one of the teachers would have been armed and would have taken the shooters out before they did too much damage.

When I was in school we used to bring our deer rifles to school and go hunting after class, no one ever got shot any where on any schools in the US at that time. Your statement is just a fine example of liberal thinking and, as I said, it won't fly.

First: I am not a troll. You will notice that if you take the trouble to read all my other posts. Second: I stand corrected. But my statement is not an example of liberal thinking, not by far. It is, however, an example of not knowing the details of a situation. I should have informed myself better before writing what I wrote. All of which leaves untouched the fact that the American and European perspective on bearing arms differ hugely. I support the European view; and that is my good right as a citizen in the free part of the world and has nothing to do with liberalism or socialism per se. I hope I could clarify a couple of things here.

“All school shootings are done in no gun zones”

Good point, and points up the absurdity of having “gun-free zones”. All it does is assure the perp that nobody will likely shoot back. Well, except the occasional CHL holder who chooses protection over conformity. I wish there were more of them.
