>>>>>>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?

If we ever turn to Steven Seagal for national security advice we will be in really sad shape.

I get up early but not normally this early. A thunderstorm pelted my house hard enough to wake me up. Hopefully I can get some more sleep.
