Even in Ohio, where (in the last few year), concealed carry has reached 1 in 20 adults, most don't carry them everywhere, many of the spots it happens at don't permit it, and there are actually whole webpages devoted to crimes foiled by armed citizens, the left just sticks its fingers in its ears and pretends they don't exist or handwave them away. We don't have many spree killings, and for your argument to be anything but absurd we'd need to only count the cases where someone present was an armed citizen.

I do not see why calling for armed cops at schools is an unreasonable response. - 22/12/2012 04:53:06 PM 993 Views
I can think of two reasons off the top of my head - 22/12/2012 05:38:19 PM 998 Views

If someone is shooting at you having a gun to shoot back seems like a good idea - 26/12/2012 06:10:07 PM 831 Views

If you think it would solve the debate then probably - 22/12/2012 07:09:42 PM 932 Views
Nothing will ever truly end the debate, but we can greatly reduce or end its justification. - 22/12/2012 08:03:39 PM 891 Views

What is public safety worth to you? - 23/12/2012 12:54:04 AM 848 Views
it's not entirely a matter of cost, although that factors into it. - 23/12/2012 01:01:50 AM 760 Views
There are many cases where armed cops ended mass shootings. - 23/12/2012 01:28:25 AM 781 Views
there are none where an armed guard placed there *before* the shooting had any effect - 23/12/2012 01:36:42 AM 918 Views
Kind of a Catch-22; if they PREVENT shootings, shootings can only occur in their absence. - 23/12/2012 01:52:03 AM 957 Views
ok, here is my last word on the subject - 23/12/2012 02:06:49 AM 894 Views
