Not to mention it has overwhelming public support.
The NRA Plan To Guard Schools Is So Stupid That 1/3rd Of All Public Schools Already Use It… | Weasel Zippers
Nationwide, at least 23,000 schools — about one-third of all public schools — already had armed security on staff as of the most recent data, for the 2009-10 school year, and a number of states and districts that do not use them have begun discussing the idea in recent days.

Americans are war mongers. You can't blame for wanting to indoctrinate their children with their 'kill kill kill' philosophy.
Actually they are not- they didn't get into WW1 until 1917 and they didn't get into WW2 until 1942!
I feel so indoctrinated that I highly recommend they put cops in schools in America. It works here. Has for 40+ years.

Program Summary
The Regina Police Service School Resource Officer Program utilizes the concept of community policing with officers acting as a resource to faculty, students, parents and community within a school environment. An officer is assigned to each Regina High School with responsibility for a number of elementary schools. Each School Resource Officer has an office within his/her high school(s) and interacts with students, teachers, school staff and parents on a daily basis. School Resource Officers provide education on safety, substance abuse, life skills and the justice system to Elementary and High School students. School Resource Officers also investigate complaints to police involving schools. In some cases mediation brings about a successful resolution to the complaint; in other cases a criminal charge may result. There are ten School Resource Officers assigned to Regina’s high schools and elementary schools.
Yep, they've been involved in a few skirmishes, not sure just what Vietnam proved! But hey, outside of the Al Qaeda, how many times has the U.S. been invaded? Also their proximity, has probably saved Canada's bacon on a few occasions. You don't want to bad mouth the second greatest country on earth!
I've travelled fairly extensively through the western U.S. probably 30-40 times over the past 35 years and never once saw a war being created. -
LOL
Reality:
The murder rate in the "war zone" of the USA is 4.2 per 100,000.
The world average is 6.9 per 100,000.
Some war zone!!!
One of the safer places in the world to live, actually....
There are always people, Colpy who will eat up just whatever they are "fed" without bothering to observe for themselves.
Yeah, right! :roll: (Mods. you might want to move that post into the jokes department)-
I've been to some bad parts of Chicago and some bad parts of Toronto. Colpy has a point regarding numbers, even if some don't want to accept it.
Gerry, just want you to know you tell good jokes, keep them coming in 2013. Hope Santa was good to you and yours! -
Yep, I hear a hell of lot more bad sh*t happening in Toronto than Chicago, even though Chicago is about 3 times the size!

Yes of course, but their culture is to shoot their way out of a problem. An insane person goes ballistic so they want to arm more people to solve the problem.
They are not fostering a safe society with choices like that.

This suggests there are safer places just beyond a magic unseen line on a map. For some strange reason. Maybe it's the lack of war mongering here? I guess that couldn't be it, right? Must be that more guns make you safer.
The only point colpy has, is the one on top of his head. Check the "numbers" for Canada. I believe eh1 has already fed them to Colpy. War mongering state fits the americans very well.
