Second Amendment Madness



“This is a friendly warning, next time I’m going to bust a cap in your ass.”

If only the right to bear arms meant you were able to wear short sleeve shirts, the most dangerous outcome would be being mistaken for an angry trade unionist.

A most forward thinking school district, in where else but deepest whitest Texas has decided to let teachers carry concealed weapons, well guns anyway. Concealing a baseball bat might be a little conspicuous .

Superintendent (Skinner, if only) David Thweatt displaying faultless logic has rationalised this by saying, "When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings started," It will be a cold day in hell when America realises that peace through superior firepower is not the road-map to harmony (perhaps Tom-Tom can help?).

It has been proven by contradiction that the amount of guns per person has no direct effect on the number of gun deaths. Think Switzerland where everyone has an AK beneath their bed and no gun crime and say Germany where waffenkontrollgesetz is among the most restrictive and gun crime is ‘relatively’ higher. The individual country’s social culture has a much greater affect on how guns are used.

Whatever your individual countries/ personal views on gun control there are surely a few sacrosanct ideas that we can all agree on, chiefly: -
• There are no place for guns in Schools, if you increase the amount of guns in schools more people will die
• Guns have no place in the hands of untrained ‘guardians’, without proper and regular training increasing the number of guns will mean more people will die

In short, if you increase the amount of guns, MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE! Franklin
