I guess I look at guns specifically as it relates to schools. I don't want guns banned all together. Believe me. I actually want to get a gun myself one day (if the other half lets me!).
If we have people armed in schools, which is the alternative, how does that play into the psychology of the kids at school?
And I was so adamant about the drunk driving case mostly because I was in mock trial and the biggest case I dealt with was a drunk driving case.
Having one or several armed designated guards at entry points will help protect schools but the answers take time and rational thinking, not a bunch of knee jerk reactions. A combination of small changes, including better screening for the mentally ill are about all we can realistically address for now. Unfortunately, freedom comes with a cost and twisting tragic events to fit a politically motivated or social agenda is a very disingenuous act towards society as a whole.
