In reply to the discussion: Should visitors to schools be prohibited from bringing firearms on the property? [View all]NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)30. Hey CreekDog! Look, I think the way your wrote the subject line and poll choices is faulty:
Oh gosh no, not a hard question as I read it again on a bigger screen without scrolling, and with a bit more time, except for your confusing presentation:
Take a look at your subject line question compared to the questions as phrased in the poll. The differences are enough to make it a bit tricky.
"Visitors" to school are clearly NOT part of that school so, as such, they should obey whatever rules the school wishes to create.
So, "YES", schools should be able to declare that visitors should not carry firearms, no doubt about that, any and every school should have the right to have that rule,or not have that rule if they don't want it.
But if asked to answer the question in the subject line, "Should visitors to schools be prohibited from bringing firearms on the property?", I would answer "NO" because it sounds like and edict from the central ministry of telling all schools that they have to adopt the rule, and I would not agree with that.
Again:
Subject line: "Should visitors to schools be prohibited from bringing firearms on the property?" NO
Poll option: "Schools should have the right to prohibit carrying firearms on their property (excepting law enforcement)" YES

OP
I'd argue with you but since you believe that "quotas" are required for minorities, let's not

As long as the gun is out of sight, it can be loaded and easily reachable. N/T
