Everyone just needs to pull their kids out of the schools that are not protected. I’m sure the kids would support a national student strike to get the NRA solution into their school. I’m afraid that it’s going to take some drastic measure like that to effect change in this stupid country.
If you start from the assumption that most of the teachers in the US vote Democrat, then you could make a logical argument that arming the teachers is more dangerous.
Gun ownership is an excellent cure for the progressive mental disorder.
One way or the other.
Maybe if we required teachers to be armed, we would not have as many lefty teachers. Two birds, one stone.
NRA – Conservative solution: give each kid in school a gun so that they can protect themselves as every American has the right to do
The NRA has never suggested anything like that. Why do progressives feel the need to lie about everything?
Steve, why lie about progressives? I’m progressive rather than reactionary, but I’m against gun control. Most of my liberal friends are against gun control.

“I’ve heard all of the arguments both for and against gun control. All I can say is that they are all missing the point. We have the second Amendment to protect ourselves from our own government in case it ever grows tyrannical and controlling. If you think that this is an unlikely scenario, I point to recent events: corporate personhood, money equating to free speech and the Super Pac…..

I remind people constantly that liberals are not the problem, real liberals believe in liberty. Progressives are the problem. Why would you identify yourself as someone who wants to control the lives of others Bob?
gator, authoritarians want to control the lives of others. They are usually Republicans. I want a $50/ton carbon tax to subsidize energy efficiency, that isn’t ‘controlling the lives of others.’ Is the military industrial complex, DHS, TSA, NSA snooping etc a progressive idea? No.

Progressives are far more intrusive than Republicans. Gun control, climate change legislation, political correctness, prohibition, etc…
I am a Libertarian and stand for individual rights.
I learned early on (5 to 7 years old) not to give myself names, nor accept the names (the categories) others make up for everyone. I am not a joiner, and I am also for individual rights. Just throwing that out there.
I learned to never use two words when one will suffice.
Great, if you want to donate $50/ton for the carbon you generate to the government, I have no problem with that.
However if you want to force me to pay that (and I would never volunteer to pay yet another tax) then we have a problem.
Government subsidies are a mess. Remember Solyndra? Or better yet, how about all the other Obama supporter’s subsidized energy ventures? http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2013/11/15/how-to-get-an-organism-to-kill-itself/
So far, 33 companies that were offered federal support from taxpayers are faltering — either having gone bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy and other agencies. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher.
The complete list of faltering or bankrupt green-energy companies:
1)Evergreen Solar ($25 million)*
2)SpectraWatt ($500,000)*
3)Solyndra ($535 million)*
4)Beacon Power ($43 million)*
5)Nevada Geothermal ($98.5 million)
6)SunPower ($1.2 billion)
7)First Solar ($1.46 billion)
8)Babcock and Brown ($178 million)
9)EnerDel’s subsidiary Ener1 ($118.5 million)*
10)Amonix ($5.9 million)
11)Fisker Automotive ($529 million)
12)Abound Solar ($400 million)*
13)A123 Systems ($279 million)*
14)Willard and Kelsey Solar Group ($700,981)*
15)Johnson Controls ($299 million)
16)Brightsource ($1.6 billion)
17)ECOtality ($126.2 million)
18)Raser Technologies ($33 million)*
19)Energy Conversion Devices ($13.3 million)*
20)Mountain Plaza, Inc. ($2 million)*
21)Olsen’s Crop Service and Olsen’s Mills Acquisition Company ($10 million)*
22)Range Fuels ($80 million)*
23)Thompson River Power ($6.5 million)*
24)Stirling Energy Systems ($7 million)*
25)Azure Dynamics ($5.4 million)*
26)GreenVolts ($500,000)
27)Vestas ($50 million)
28)LG Chem’s subsidiary Compact Power ($151 million)
29)Nordic Windpower ($16 million)*
30)Navistar ($39 million)
31)Satcon ($3 million)*
32)Konarka Technologies Inc. ($20 million)*
33)Mascoma Corp. ($100 million)
*Denotes companies that have filed for bankruptcy.
Now then,
Given that well over half of Obama’s pet subsidized energy projects are going tits-up (bankrupt), why on earth would you trust the government incompetents to pick yet another pack of losers??? If you wish to donate your money to this pack of losers, fine. Given a choice, I wouldn’t give them a nickle.
Letting bureaucrats pick and choose whom to subsidize is about as insane as letting life-time bureaucrats (tax parasites who have NEVER worked in the private sector) design a new system of mandatory health insurance.
Oh wait……
“I want a $50/ton carbon tax to subsidize energy efficiency, that isn’t ‘controlling the lives of others.’ ”
So if you had your carbon tax implemented and I refused to pay it, you would just use sweet persuasion to change my actions? Or would you use the coercive power of the state (up to kidnapping or shooting me)?
By the way, I am VERY outspoken against the military industrial complex, DHS, TSA, and NSA. I notice that you did not mention the NDA which Obama signed giving himself the supposedly legal ability to arrest or kill without trial anyone (yes, even US citizens) whom he chooses.
Jason, a 2.5 cent/pound carbon tax would be like a sales tax, would add about $0.20 to a gallon of gasoline. Do you think that is like your “… (up to kidnapping or shooting me)?
Gator, what prohibition? Progressives are far more in favor of ending cannabis prohibition than reactionary Republicans.
There is no reason for a carbon tax.”, except for control and more money for ‘programs’.
Leftists never know their history. The Eighteenth Amendment was accomplished by Progressives, who infiltrated the schools, and waited generations to accomplish their agenda. Ring any bells? 😆
Climate Change legislation is the most intrusive there is, with the possible exception of Obamacare. This is what Progressives bring.
Leave me the F alone.
And why do you keep brining up Republicans, who are against Obamacare and Climate Change slavery? The two most controlling types of governance. Maybe you are as obtuse as you pretend.
