10. Guards in schools? OK,...

...but armed with pepper spray, nightsticks/truncheons & possibly tasers. Guns? Hell no!

How about magnetized entry locks that a visitor has to be recognized first and buzzed in?

When people fire a gun and someone is actually firing back, they may very well miss. When they do miss, we have NO IDEA what (or WHO) that bullet will hit. I, unlike the NRA, am not willing to gamble my son's life on that. When I was a un owner (up until about 15 years ago) I would go to a firing range with my .38 revolver and put 50+ rounds into a target about the size of a paper plate at 25 yards. Thank God I was never in a position of being in a firefight, but I suspect that in that situation I'd have shot my own dickoff before I hit the other person.

While you portray a very positive picture, I will not buy into the whole NRA default notion that the way to solve any gun problem is to throw more guns at the situation.

PEACE!
