Because in REALITY, my child or husband would not be carrying an AK47 or and AR15 or any equal match to the gun power of a determined mass murderer carrying war like weapons of this kind.. on them while they are attending school and moving from class to class...If your child or husband was killed by some nut why would you think guns should be banned? Why wouldn't you think maybe they needed one?
It just comes off as unrealistic and ridiculous to me... and to most logical people, to hear that kind of argument...
We know the guns of choice for these murderers are these kinds of rapid fire weapons,
and we know why.....and it's not to rob a home or to steal a car....or to rape a woman.... it's to kill as many human beings as possible, in the shortest amount of time....and most of these crazies, are on a suicide by cop mission.
A teacher or a child carrying a gun does not have the same freedom as the Killer....he wants to kill, his goal is to kill, to hurt people, as many people as possible....for his own legacy too......
the Teacher has the concern of not harming any children that may be in the way of the killer, and no experience with dealing with an extremely stressful situation with bloody bodies spread all over, such as this, along with worrying about the kids he left behind in his own classroom.....
And now we know more than one cop, stayed outside and did not approach him....with their experience....it just ain't gonna turn out as peachy as the president claims or the NRA claims, or you claim....
This NRA bull crud of:
"Everything would be honky dory if only everybody had a gun" bull crud,
is simply empty rhetoric repeated over and over again after each tragedy to sell more guns and used as a persuasion tactic on all of you who repeat it....over and over again hoping to convince the rest of us...and convince yourselves that it is true, without even putting any thought to it...on how would that work in a school or how would that work in a Bible study in church, or how would that work in a hospital, or how would that work in a Daycare center and so on and so forth.....
it's absolutely illogical and insane to push that ridiculous line, when in my opinion, the easy button is just waiting and waiting and waiting, for us to press on this issue with the semi automatic guns.
