Yes we're all horrified by the spate of school related shootings. Basically men with guns go into a school and shoot people. Variation on the theme, kid with guns goes in and shoots people. The unifying factor in this is that everyone had guns. Of course there are solutions that are being posed to mitigate or prevent these events. One is, lets make it harder for people to get guns. See without a gun these people would have to use a bat, pipe or even their bare hands... and frankly that's a lot less sexy and a lot more physically demanding than just leaning back and pulling a trigger. Yes yes, of course, if "guns are outlawed then only outlaws will have guns". Uh huh. But the are the people shooting up the schools outlaws, or are they just people with casual access to guns? Yes, we know the answer to that one - especially when it's kids with the guns.

Sill why go the common sense route? I mean common sense hardly makes the news. Wisconsin Republican Rep. Frank Lasee has a better idea: Give the teachers guns so they can shoot back.

Well isn't that a novel concept? More guns so there can be more bullets so there can be more dead people. Better yet! With teachers carrying guns now there can be 100% certainty that someone will have access to a gun in the school? Why guess? If you know there's guns in a school, hell you won't have to even bring your own - just sap a teacher and take theirs.

So you think they'll start stocking ammo next to the chalk and desk cleaner?

Think the kids will pay more attention if the teacher puts a few rounds into the ceiling?

It sure will spice up those parent-teacher conferences a mite.

It's nice to know that Wisconsin doesn't discriminate against retarded people, hell they even elect them to public office...
