Yeah, arm yourself. That way you'll feel better when the Hellfire missile hits your house.

Jeez.

I agree something should be done to make sure our children are protected while in school. However, law abiding citizens follow the law. The problem there are no laws that will take guns out of the hands of criminals. They currently do not follow our laws.

If aggression against your home comes from another country, your AR weapon will not be sufficient against missles, jets and nuclear bombs. If aggression against your home comes from our government, your AR weapon will not be sufficient against tanks, drones, jets, missles and troops with rocket launchers. If aggression comes from a burglar against your home, according to our laws you have to make sure they are inside your home and they have a weapon. In that case

you can use your pistol, which should be sufficient. When our Constitution was written, our founding fathers did not have all these weapons and thus comparing word for word then and now is tricky and up to interpretation.

Besides limiting the type of guns one can own, we should be looking at what can make our schools and everyone safer like- school entryways with steel doors & very little glass that restricts intruders from entering, better screening to obtain a weapons permit, and the BIG ONE, which is help with treatment for our mentally ill citizens of ALL ages. We place a big priority on treating cancer and heart problems, but NOT on the mentally ill. Rosalyn Carter was right in 1977.

The intent of the Second Amendment, as expressed therein, was the security of a free state, not protection from our own government. Our standing military now provides that security, not to mention that Article 3, Section 3 says that war against our own government is Treason.

What we have now is a society awash with guns whether we like it or not.
