When I was in high school many years ago, I started a rifle club and shooting team. We had .22 cal. single shot target rifles that weighed 14 pounds and were 46 inches in length. They were not really handy for concealing or threating others with! I had my own rifle and would walk to school with it twice a week. Upon arriving at school, I would turn it over to my rifle coach. I also used to walk through the center of town with it in a case after leaving the Police Department range on the way home. Mind you this all took place 10 miles outside of Boston! We had a league in the area with 12 high schools to compete against. We had a chemistry teacher at the high school and an elementry school principal acting as advisors and coaches. We also had the backing of the chief of police, high school principal, etc. We practiced shooting twice a week Fall, Winter and, Spring. We shot indoors and outdoors. Of the original group in our club and on our team, we had one kid go to Westpoint, one go to the Air Force Academy, and one go to Coast Guard Academy. Several also went to the meritime academies and or joined the armed forces. No one went on to rob banks, kill innocent people, or pose a threat to civil society… The greatest threat to the citizens of the republic are liberal progressives, not responsible people who own guns and ENJOY THEIR LIBERTY. Liberal Collectivists, Communitarians and Progressives are TOTALITARIANS TOO!

Sorry, jimoer, but this thread is too old to troll. I only noticed your comment myself by accident.

Maybe a new thread, or the ever-easily-trolled /b/ might provide riper pastures?

I dug up information about the jews during the 1900s they in fact took NUNS and put them into ovens and baked them to death. this took place around 1919-23. When finding this out.. it made me wonder if Hitler knew of this & had feelings for Women of God?

Wow bigjoe, Where’d you get that little gem.
how about this: quoting washed up re’jokes on the internet is … uhhh, Trip and die.

Arguing over the internet or otherwise is an exercise in logic and reason. Sure, it doesn’t matter if you win, but you’ve exercised your mind, and hopefully learned a little. Because knowledge is power kids!

ARGUING ON THE INTERNET IS LIKE RUNNING IN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS. EVEN IF YOU WIN, YOU’RE STILL RETARDED.

Wow… You too Mr. Dooves…? This thread has magical properties… First AUS BUTT, now I find myself agreeing (mostly) with Mr. Dooves… LOL

First Nations issue – Wildy irrelevant to the topic at hand, bfwiw I agree. By all rights they should be given their own piece, declared an independent entity and left to their own devices. Don’t think it’s ever gonna happen, due to excessive greed on both sides, but there it is.

Also US =/= Israel. This is definitely a bad analogy. That’s not to say that I believe a teacher shouldn’t be allowed to bring a firearm to a classroom. There have been several instances where an armed teacher might have been able to bring an extended school massacre to a swift halt.

Situations like these, are one of the reasons why a total firearms ban makes no sense. But I also don’t believe arming everyone will solve everything either. They are simply two opposite but equal extremes, only circumstantially unrelated to the real problem.

The real issue will be getting a handle on *why* we actually need metal detectors, and airport-like security in some of our schools. That is a cultural issue, not a weapons issue. Too many kids and young adults today have ass backwards values.

I think it is because we have become a self centered, excessively permissive and oversensitive society. And our parenting skills have suffered as a result of that. We are raising jacked up kids. The weapons are purely symptomatic. Neither comprehensive armament nor disarmament will fix that.

And as for our Government… I got nuthin’…
