You get what you pay for.

They don’t see us poor people as worthy of living, it’s as simple as that. Few anti gun politicians have said they more important then us. And anti gun polo and rich people aren’t anti gun they just anti regular poor people having guns. They won’t give up their personal guns or the guns(often machineguns) their armed security carry’s very day around them and their houses. I don’t have 20armed guard with me everywhere I go

I'm not sure if gun control is the solution, but I do know that something has to be done about the gun violence problem. Perhaps we need gun control. Perhaps we need an economic system that takes care of the mentally ill people who cause mass shootings. Either way, this is a huge problem that will not go away without state intervention.

Picture This: In the future, schizophrenics are going to be causing mass shootings using laser death rays if technology continues moving forward, and the law does not compensate for this. Just imagine how many people could have been killed in Columbine if the shooters had been armed with deadly lasers.

Makes sense. It’s safer to have a gun when other people do, but it’s even safer to have a gun and make sure most other people don’t.

You liberals always wanting free stuff from us hard working conservatives!

If the mentally ill want therepy, they should pay for it themselves!

And just imagine how many patriotic American lives can be saved if the teachers are armed with deadly lasers!

Visible-light lasers may be cool, but to kill or at least horribly disfigure people, invisible infrared or ultraviolet ones are better, as they’re easier to conceal while operating. The latter have the added bonus of causing cancer.

True. In a perfectly fair world poor kids could go on skiing vacations every year but they can't. Does that mean poor kids are less important or just less wealthy?

So now armed security to protect kids lives is the same as a expensive unnecessary lavish vacation ?

The government provides security that’s what we pay them for.

Liberals wanting free stuff again? You don't pay for the government to provide you with security. You pay for the government to provide your president with security.

Any patriotic American would be proud to sacrifice his security, his health and his life to ensure his president can live in safety, comfort and luxury. After all, America won the Revolutionary War so that their president could live like a king.
