It isn't so much a matter of people of means, per se ... as much as it is the fact that given who the parents are, of who goes to Sidwell Friends, makes these children higher-risk potential targets particularly. A sane and reasonable response to security probably would be a realistic assessment...

Mav, Actually, I think that was Adams (John, Sr.) - not Jefferson ... A valid premise nonetheless ...

No argument there ... and it's well worth noting (... because it is true ...) That depends on how you look at it - one could argue that some (all ?) of what is going on is merely a continuation of Bush's previous policies from the WOT - a fact which certainly doesn't absolve Obama for his...

Point to one ... that absolves a school board or school administration of responsibility if they allow an armed citizen on school premises, who then subsequently goes postal and starts picking off students ...

What will be enough in your humble opinion ? When an armed guard fails to protect - as happened at Columbine - what will you be willing to endure ? You should very well understand where the "not enough" argument eventually leads (a disarmed citizenry) Well ... it was apparently zero...

In a case like that one particularly, it's really a pity that the law at the time had no provision for trying them as adults ... However that is not the fault of perps - but rather the people of Arkansas ... Involuntary commitment is potentially double_jeopardy ... and so would be...

Only one actually ... but there was an additional LEO close by, engaged in a traffic stop I believe, who came and intervened ...

An interesting article - one which raises some very important and relevant questions - regardless of what one might think of a number assumptions the article makes, or positions the author takes: Don’t Disarm the Mentally Ill by Mark R. Crovelli

Gee ... I wonder what other matters they might be doing this with ... :rolleyes:

Careful that you don't fall in ...

Well, it might be not so much a case of not understanding ... as it is not agreeing (with you) that it is the most sensible solution ...

Vermont may not need it ... since they permit both open and concealed carry without a permit, and have some of the least restrictive gun laws in the United States: Gun laws in Vermont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For some they may well be ... although I suspect mobile machine shops probably aren't in the cards for the most part ... Most likely they will be small non-desrcript building buildings, like my neighbor's polebarn at the far end of our property which houses a fairly complete machine shop full...

It will be quite a while - if ever - before that type of capability is really suitable for building anything comparable in precision and durability to currently manufactured firearms ... On the other hand, as LOS points out, we've been building guns for a long time - sophisticated machine tools...
