Do you think the teachers at Sandy wish they had been armed?

as to the first sentence, I know that's not true, because they qualify on at least an annual if not a bi-annual basis with a different "qualification" course than a CHL carrier!

So you are saying we don't need police ... just arm the citizens?

Oh, BTW, I generally ignore accusations that I am "unAmerican" as a retort to something I say or post on this board, because I realize that it comes from some dumbass that lacks any intelligent and factually supported position, so they fire the only round they have, which is the "unAmerican" card, when the "race card" doesn't fit.

Since you don't know me at all, I just consider the whimpy source.
