I imagine it's just one of many responses a person suffering from PTSD might come out with. Gosh knows how any of us might react after such an horrific event.

I can't disagree with him on this one though.

Well, he probably feels vindicated now.

having read the article i concur: universal gun ownership a recipe for disaster. how many playground deaths before children prevented ready access to pistols and assault rifles?

Giving kids access to pistols and assault rifles is a stupid idea.

Generally the weapons are going to be too heavy for them to handle and if you arm them with more manageable, smaller calibre guns, they're unlikely to have the stopping power required for a full on playground firefight.

What's needed is a kiddie sized pistol chambered in .45 acp, that can be easily carried in a satchel. I reckon reducing the magazine to 4 or 5 rounds would be a good start.

perhaps .22 dumdums.

Child soldiers in Africa (and in Afghanistan, on both sides) seem to manage OK.

surely there are more than two sides in afghanistan.

Segmentary, my dear Watson.

Not a bad option for a short range altercation or a classroom shoot-up, but would probably lack the range needed for an outdoor engagement on the sports field.

Yeah but they're usually at least 10 years old.

I'm talking year one upwards.

the older pupils could use a .50 barrett sniper rifle.

They'd need to be at least 12 otherwise giving them a Barrett could be seen as irresponsible.

.303 lee enfields accurate enough for most school playing fields.

Seriously, can you imagine what would have happened in that gig if everyone had a gun. Dark and crowded, gun shots and screams, people everywhere pulling guns. The death toll would have been far far greater - no doubt at all.

 

[mauvais]

Not if you gave them enough guns they wouldn't.

Many wouldn't have even made it to the gig at all, weighed down by their armaments, their coat pockets utterly ruined.

Gun control advocates need to look at the 'third way' possibilities for an adequate compromise between public safety and industry concerns, like having all available public space literally filled with guns.

In your own school, sure, but with a Barrett you could shoot kids in any school within a mile radius.

yeh but for that a mortar preferable as stray shots may injure or kill members of the general public. the high trajectory of a mortar prevents this sort of school boy error.

maybe everyone else should start wearing huge armoured carapaces like master chief or a space marine.

I'm not so sure. That one couldn't really have been much worse could it?

yeh cos obviously the jihadis would have attacked somewhere where everyone was packing

Check out the logic in this one: "God made men and women, and that night guns made them equal".

Kids with mortars???? Are you completely out of you mind???

What are you thinking?

 

[StoneRoad]

Somehow, I doubt if extra guns would have ended the Paris event with less casualties, if the number of hits to the shields are any indication of the terrorists response to anyone returning fire.

Panic and paranoia everywhere, people in the dark carrying guns. Who is doing the shooting? Who is trying to kill who?
