What's wrong?
I'll respond to you as soon as I actually can, Dark, by the way; I've just been really busy lately.

R.
And I'm 19,so...
I know you are. But, as Christians, how old we are shouldn't change whether we should watch something with immoral content or not. Opening doors like that can end badly. Not that I'm accusing you; I'm just saying.
Just watched the final episode of Breaking Bad.
Wow.
Just.
Wow.
Isn't that TV-MA?

*looks at my hands, then I get serious, as I stand up, the sword in one hand and the gun in the other*
You're right. If I don't fight, who else will. I can't rely on others, I must join them and fight alongside them, for that way, true justice and a equal government can prevail.

I will end you if you keep this up.

I heard First. He overlooks the fact that sound itself cannot damage my ears, for I do not hear molecule vibrations. I hear disruptions and vibrations in the Ether.
*to First* The Ether?

*a block of red and green appears between the blood and Exodus* We beat you once.
-Soren- We can do it again.

No because that would be stupid. The reason places are gun-free is so people who bring them have reason to be stopped when it's noticed. Otherwise you can't stop them until they do something, at which point it's too late. Teachers aren't armed because they'd either use them on students when a fight between teacher and student breaks out, or if the teacher would do a shooting anyway, or a student could get a gun on campus easily all the sudden. I dislike police, but similar being armed around the school is an actually viable option. No interpersonal commitment or likelihood of getting in a fight or planning a school shooting regardless, plus can arrest potential shooters instead of only being able to kill someone after they've done something. Not to mention that two people shooting in a populated space is worse than just one. This isn't a wild west show, the people shooting each other aren't isolated. There will be crossfire, and "the good guy" with a gun isn't automatically going to beat "the bad guy" with a gun. Not to mention that shooting someone or watching someone you're around daily and/or will be armed around you daily puts a huge psychological strain on someone. Plus, the time and resources to train people to use guns correctly and responsibly would cost tons, teachers would have to be payed more, which in public schools should happen anyway, but in private and college/university would raise costs even more than the ridiculous current, and it would make teachers targets, PLUS potential shooters would change to more self-safe, more lethal methods instead of walking in and pulling out a gun. Bombs, for example. Would-be suicide-homicide shooters would move to things like suicide bombs, non-suicide shooters would move to things like chemical gasses, with as easy to make as they are. This would lead to prison-like security systems eventually. You know uniforms and metal detectors would be pushed for, hard, after a single suicide bomber. Look what happened with planes, and they can't even take away your rights like schools retardedly can. They're enough like incarceration as it is, thanks.
Why do conservatives, common libertarians, republicans, and democrats all see this as a black and white issue? There's a lot more to it than "add more guns to the situation."
Actually pretty good points.
EDIT: Except maybe not.

Because if I'm not mistaken, it's a federal government mandate that all educational facilities be gun-free.
Oh. I see. Not even the faculty get to have a way to protect themselves and their children?
