I come from a hunting family. We hunt on horseback with a pack of hounds.

We support a nearly total ban on firearms, even if it means no guns for us.

+1000. Here, here. I'm the ex-military PP. I'm with you 1000%. [/quote]

If we ban firearms, how do we ensure the bad guys turn theirs in?

You can require a license to buy ammo or the components to pack your own. Also there are ways to identify and track purchases of bullets after they have been fired. [/quote]

Here we go again with a C word - "can."  I think you meant "ought to."  Because it's not happening.  The sooner people get realistic and pragmatic, the sooner school boards across America can start making plans, and following them through with completed action, to keep kids safe.  Like: Plan - metal detectors.  Budget, find contractor, install.  That simple.  Rather than whining and wishing and nothing getting accomplished and kids dying.[/quote]

Of course, because a metal detector is definitely enough to stop a psycho that shows up at a school with a weapon of war.  🙄🙄🙄

The magical thinking, the complete lack of common sense and logic, this is such an American phenomenon.[/quote]

Metal detectors do work.  How many mass shootings happen in airports or courts?  Don't play coy.  They absolutely do work.[/quote]

You really do not understand how the real world works do you? You think it is a great idea to line up unscreened individual at the airport. Next time you are in line look at the people around you. They could have a gun or bomb. Do you remember the Afghanistan airport?  How did that work out?

Now take that down to an elementary school level. What do you think the level of readiness will be? If someone walks up and pulls out a gun, they will kill the school security very easily. Those soldiers in Afghanistan were on high alert, armed with military weapons and armor. You will not get that at a school. Plus everyone in the security line is a target. Unless you have a weapons drawn the shooter has the element of surprise. You also have to think about how much you are paying security. Not everyone will sell their life to protect others when the shooting starts. [/quote]
