Incorrect -- there were 23 INJURED not killed.
That is what RealCoray is arguing - is that it is the type of weapon used that made the killings so easy. I agree with him 100%. The point I'm discussing is what to do about it. My point is that laws don't protect anyone. They just give us a prosecution tool... AFTER the fact.
Todd wants protection at schools. I agree - nothing to argue there... whether it's a deterrent or not is how we implement it... one guard at a huge school isn't really much of a deterrent IMHO.... Again -- my discussion about that is -- would it just move the assailant to a different location? Say he wants to attack kids - would you just go to Toys R Us? A kids movie showing? The Santa area at the mall? A soccer game? So what can we realistically protect people from - and where?
Everyone agrees that this is an incredibly horrendous crime. Unimaginable really! It makes you sick with grief. What to do about it is another discussion entirely.
