Issy, the US government did not attack the Twin Towers directly, but you should read the history of Osama Bin Laden and his relationship with the CIA. Then you might not be so quick to jump in with silly statements.

Here's a link for you from NBC News on the subject, hardly a radical lefty media outlet.

You reap what you sow.

Issy, could I be your campaign manager for the next election? When you run for the job of Sheriff of Dodge City. You could run on a platform of shoot first, ask no questions later.

Paul,

Are you happy with such a policy?

Issy, you're the one who has to sell your shoot first ask no questions later gun policy to the voters, not me. Tell the truth you would love to be the sheriff of Dodge City.

Paul,

While I agree with you that gun laws should be maintained, I don't agree that any particular group should be prevented from advocating their political opinion. It is the democratic right of people to advocate for what they believe in. Applying this to one interest group could then be applied to others such as Getup, the unions etc.

Secondly, after Socialist Russia invaded Afghanistan because it was largely in the US sphere of influence, they swiftly put down much of the resistance with typical brutality. Initially, the resistance movement was not particularly Islamic in nature and this only emerged later.

OVER 1,000,000 CHILDREN PROTEST IN THE U.S.A.

"PARKLAND, Fla. — They solemnly spilled onto the high school football field, holding signs protesting gun violence and wearing shirts that read "March for our lives." They waved at a crowd of onlookers who had gathered to show support."

Is it going to take a mass movement by children in the United States to convince the legislators that their pandering to vested interests on gun control is totally wrong.

Like the protests/struggle that finally convinced their politicians that the US involvement in the Vietnam War was wrong, it may take years before they bend to the wishes of the vast majority and introduce some sanity into their gun laws, and give children and others, the protection they desperately need from these insane gunnies!

Paul,

It was your suggestion.

I thought that you might have had an answer to the question of what a teacher could do to overcome the threat of a murderer loose in a school; sad to say you, and others can't answer the question and we all, and the US legislators are left to wallow in the dark.

Some would do the obvious and allow the teacher the means of defence, how many lives may have been saved if this had been the option from the beginning?
