I dont watch CBS,NBC, ABC,CNN, And MSNBC because THEY are the leading threat to American. It is their DUTY to report and investigate the lies and cover ups of the federal government. They repeated LIE/EDIT reports and or DO NOT report on this. I truely hope people with come to understand this. Look into this. Research this. See their anti christian/american/conservativ­e/constitutional/race baiting. Please show me this isnt true. Research foxnews too.

The box is, the more guns the more safety. So hand out guns to every toddler in day care. Than they'll be safe!

O.K.........a lunatic comes into your school shooting.

A. You have trained licensed teachers who legally carrying firearms in the school to protect your kids. Only teachers who want to do this.

B. You post "Gun free Zone" in front of the building and work to take away law abiding citizens guns everywhere.

C. You post an officer in every school, taxing the U.S. people to do this.

D. You ban only "assault" weapons, with no idea what an "assault" weapon is.

E. Look outside the box

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

— Daniel Webster

That's an erroneous analogy. Automobiles are heavily regulated with a licensing and insurance protocol. The equivalent of a driver's licence is a permit for acquiring and carrying a gun. You need to pass a series of tests in order to drive a car.

Moreover, insurance firms would NEVER insure a negligent fool. To not store gun - under lock and key - is akin to leaving leaving the car doors open and with the keys in the ignition. In fact, it'd probably be making the car accessible to children.
