Paul,

I answered your question.

Now you answer mine; how does one stop an armed person intent on murder?

Ring the police?

Hide in hope?

Shoot?

Foxy,

Thanks for the links, most instructive, it would seem that, depending on the definition, the US does not have the highest gun murder rate among the developed nations; "developed" seems to be highly subjective.
I liked the 'Human Development Index' data.

"Guns In Schools: Firearms Already Allowed In 18 States With Few Restrictions"

"Across the country, school districts are quietly arming teachers for the next shooting".

I wonder will the next school shooting be in an armed school or a "Gun Free" one?

In my first link we were told that the United States has
more than six times the gun homicide rate of Canada, more than
seven times that of Sweden, more than 16 times that of
Germany - according to UN data compiled by the Guardian. These
gun deaths are a big reason US has a much higher overall
homicide rate, which includes non-gun deaths, than any other
developed nations).

And those are the facts!

Foxy,

What about the Human Development Index?

After all, you put up the link and under the HDI the Us comes some way down the list.

But why the restriction to developed nations, or doesn't that fit the agenda?

Venezuela has a high HDI and almost six times the US gun death rate, Honduras does even better with 67.18/100,000 population compared to the US with 10.54.

Trying to dodge a bullet Issy. Your only answer to my questions was some goberly-goup nonsense about "but I'd go for concealed carry, at all times."
Please explain this; How would it work? Would guns simply be issued to teachers at Monday mornings assembly, what kind of guns would you recommend, obviously pop guns would not be effective against auto and semi auto weapons. What training and assessments would there be for teachers? Would the guns be loaded, and on open display in the classroom, at the ready. Not much good locked in the principles office. Would teachers carry these guns at recess and lunch times, would they take them home at night? How would you prevent these classroom guns falling into the hands of students? Where would the guns be when the classroom was unattended. Would teachers who are so inclined be allowed to wear battle fatigues and strap on side arms at school.

You Have no answers. Can't you get in contact with Gunnie Central and get some answers
