I get you can't protect everything.

if the guy is mentally disturbed enough to shoot up a school, one single armed guard is not going to deter him. - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 21, 09:33 6
- They just plan more carefully. Let's not forget that Columbine did in fact have an armed guard. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 21, 09:37 2
  - i am still going to argue that that planning, whatever it entails, is not what most would consider rational. - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 21, 09:39 1
    - I agree. That points even more to their irrationality. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 21, 09:42
- They're rational enough to pick gun-free zones instead of police stations or gun shows. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 21, 09:34 2
  - or Fort Hood...oh, wait. -- nm - znufrii Dec 21, 09:36
  - i'm not sure that is rational thought either, but mayhap i am using the wrong term to describe. - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 21, 09:35
Why is kicking the mass-murder can down the road any better? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 09:32 10
- it feels better if it is not 6 year olds. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 09:32 9
  - It still feels a lot crappier than none dead. (nm) - musubi Dec 21, 09:35
  - i think the fundamental difference here is that you think an armed guard will make your kids safer, and others feel the opposite. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 09:33 3
    - I feel like at the very least, it will give them a chance to get out of harms way. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 09:34 2
      - see, i don't, *bang* guard is dead. moving on. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 09:35 1
        
        Or guard is eating lunch, perp plans their crime around that time. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 21, 09:39
  - That's a very cynical way of looking at it. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 21, 09:33 2
    - it is, but it is how I feel. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 09:33 1
      - Changing the target doesn't *fix* anything. - musubi Dec 21, 09:37
  - No, it really does not. -- nm - TWuG Dec 21, 09:33
