I agree with the reasoning behind your arguments, but I also believe (prior to this shooting) if you had made the offer to train and equip the teachers and staff at the Sandy Hook elementary with firearms — that not a single one there would have taken up the offer. In the majority of the “liberal areas”, I wouldn’t be surprised to find the “in-school sentiment” regarding such proposals to be similar. I realize it’s different in places like Texas or Utah. But that’s the way it is in the “deep blue” areas...

Precisely. In deep blue areas, the idea of having on hand at home or on your person a weapon of any kind to defend yourself is viewed as a sign of paranoia or some other kind of mental problem. That's just the culture there.

The view that having a firearm to defend yourself is a sign of paranoia seems mostly an urban view which is ironic considering the likelihood of crime there.

The mandate by OSHA that there be no guns in order the workplace be “safe” means companies routinely bar firearms (and ALL weapons) even from being in the employees vehicles in the parking lot.

THe anti-self-defense crowd seldom miss a trick in disarming America.

And innocents will continue to die just as the liberals slaughter a million unborn children and the futire of America every year.

Yeah, it’s amazing what some people have for a mind, the same ones who think you are paranoid to think you might need a gun to defend yourself think they need to be defended from your having a gun and the same people would say you are crazy not to have life insurance even though it is really death insurance and does no one any good until you are dead. They would also say that you need to have fire alarms and extinguishers in your house even though you are more likely to have a burglary than a fire.
