FINALLY! Thanks! Let's see what this is!
Can't say this is bad, especially in a country obsessed with guns. If nearly every American is going to have guns, gun safety should be taught.
If we are going to train our kids up from childhood that every horrific gun-related slaughter of innocent children is to be met with a strong "defense" of our right to have more guns then we must inculcate a tendency to use the guns we love so much properly.
In the science section can we discuss the effect of hollow point ammunition on human bodies? Or can we show the Zapruder film (preferably the "image stabilized" version...google it sometime....it's terrifying to finally see JFK's head actually literally explode).
OK, now we've thoroughly imbued their childhood with guns. Every aspect is touched with guns. Granted "guns" in a "good light", but guns. It will help ensure that our nation remains "On Nation Under a Gun".
I can actually get behind this one. Good start. Let's make using a gun to commit a crime a particularly onerous proposition. Even if the gun is not discharged.
That's going to get expensive real fast. Our prisons are overcrowded. And remember in this new era proposed we've trained kids up from childhood to be part of the gun culture, and in fact have made it an almost de rigeur part of daily life.
Why not just enforce a mandatory 1 year of "Border Patrol" duty on the students after high school? By that time they will be pretty good shots and well-trained in gun etiquette. So why not use it?
I would recommend a barbed wire fence the length of the US-Mexico border with line-of-sight guard towers able to lay down overlapping fire should some Mexicans attempt to breach the perimeter.
For that matter, we might have terrorists come in through Canada, so I can't see the harm of a similar fence there (not so much because Canadians want to get into the Stalag, but because terrorists might).
So we as Americans fight tooth and nail to NOT give teacher raises but we'll pay for armed school security? OK. At least we have priorities.
"Voluntary"? Don't we already pay for National Guard service? This sounds like relying on government to help us.
Why not just let the kids we're training with the guns inthe schools patrol the hallways? Hall monitors....like in the olden days...only now packin' heat.
Well, it's a start. I am not sure if loading more guns on our society or making guns into a standard part of our society is necessarily the best answer but I guess if we are in it for a penny we're in it for a pound, eh?
