another shooting in the US that could have been prevented if teachers were allowed to train themselves to shoot back.
Gun Control is Completely Useless.

Teachers are educators and do NOT want to go to war with discontented students!! School shootings are a way of life in the US now and it is time to increase taxes and hire armed guards and not expect teachers to do even more for the miserly salaries they receive. OR the government can bring in reasonable gun control laws just as most of the worlds civilized countries have already done.
Supposrting the gun industry and not the young of the land is criminal!!
"School shootings are a way of life in the US now".............What a crock of shit! How many schools are there in the U.S.? A hundred thousand would probably be a rough estimate. How many school students are there in the U.S.? Forty million might be a rough estimate! You are probably as safe in a school as anywhere in the U.S. ...........one exception might be the morgue!
P.S. I worded this post rather badly. I should have said "I disagree". Mea culpa!
Gun control insures that Palestinians remain slaves under Israeli tyranny - so why don't forum CONservatives demand that they be given 2d Amendment rights like everybody else?
C'on forum right wingers - let's see you stand up for principle just this once and demand that Palestinians get the same rights you enjoy every day.

what 2nd amendment rights? this is Canada. and even if we did, it wouldn't extend past our borders.
furthermore, why do you think gun rights are the domain of right wingers? I am a blue collar worker that is very much unionized and very much pro-NDP AND I like to hunt and target shoot. Sorry to blow a hole through your ignorance
you are delusional, check out this CBC article...
You don't see to many successful armed robberies at gun stores in the U.S.

lol typical bait and switch. Big article on gun thefts but the embedded video has nothing to do with the article. It is a bunch of women upset about sandy hook.
estimated 250-280 million illegal guns in America.
But you can't steal one.
Its too hard.
Exactly. Gun nuts seem to think that people in favour of sensible gun laws are opposed to gun ownership. We aren't. But what we are opposed to is continued misuse of firearms against the innocent.
Where are your stats on that? The usual figure is roughly 300 million guns in the U.S. Are you suggesting that 83-94% of those are illegal?
I'm gonna need to see your source.
According to the Congressional Research Service, as of 2009 there were roughly twice as many guns per capita in the United States as there were in 1968: more than 300 million guns in all.
And they are legal, not illegal.......at least the vast, vast majority of them are legal.
As for theft, what's your solution?
Have the state steal them?
Or blame the victim?
