Doesn’t making laws that say that people can’t have guns or any other weapons of any sort on school grounds empower people who don’t abide by them by allowing them to take advantage of the fact that their victims are completely unarmed?
I never said that the students should have guns; I said that legislation isn’t the answer because it doesn’t do any good.

In the early part of the last century, the nation tried to ban alcohol. The result was speakeasy’s, rum runners, bad liquor, and organized crime.
In this new century, an Obama Administration along with the Democrats in Congress might try to "effectively" ban firearms ownership through heavy regulation, ammunition taxes, and mandatory federal licensing of gun owners.
If this comes to pass, could there be a new Prohibition Era based upon guns instead of liquor? "Gun" Runners instead of "Rum" Runners?

The Fed’s don’t outright ban guns, but the enact so much petty and hindering legislation to make it a P.I.T.A. to own a gun that some folks just give up.
Example: If they pass a 100% ammunition tax, that’d drive away a lot of the casual shooters; it’d just become too expensive.
Same with federal licensing. Many folks might refuse to obtain a federal license or pay some outrageous fee for one, and therefore just give up on being gun owners.
It is the strategy of incremental legislation the anti-gun crowd uses to slowly, and eventually completely, erode our gun rights.

Lots of people seem to be in an uproar that Obama is going to take their guns. He wants to pass legislation to tighten gun control laws to make it harder for criminals and people with mental disease to purchase guns. Such as requirering background checks at gun shows. I want to know if being safe and saving lives and our childrens lives and this country is worth it to people to not be able to purchase guns as easily as in the past?
