>>>>>>Riiight. Well if the NRA had their way there would also be armed guards in all the schools. And hey why not? Lot of schools have metal detectors and razor wire fences - so might as well be SURE the kids feel like they're in a jail when they go to school. Of course this all makes more sense than...ya know...doing ANYTHING that might result in keeping the guns out of criminals hands or being able to track where guns end up.

>>>>>Victor, Victor... You do not understand the issue quite well! Armed guards in schools?? That is NOT enough! Teachers, Janitors and every other school worker should be carrying guns, Do You really want your school safe or not?

>>>Hey Victor,

>>>I recall we had a wager about this. I think I remember you betting that the armed guards would shoot someone by accident before August 2013. The wager was $1. Did they shoot anyone?

Well....what do you expect from a couple of clowns who decide to use a full tactical operations swat team armed to the teeth, (including a tank - no joke) to go after --- tadaaa - some chickens! Yes we are all safer having army-style armed guys running around tearing up public roads with tanks to kill a puppy and bunch of chickens in a residential neighborhood. I know what would even make us safer than that! Lets have these same idiots in charge of arming some child predators with some guns and then put them in the schools to..uhhh..yeah protect the children. Brilliant I tell you! Brilliiiiant! Ya know Sheriff Joe has an elected position - I tell you sometime I have less than zero faith in the Americian voter - like are that many people in AZ REALLY that stupid or what?
