This makes me so angry I am literally shaking. This has got to be one of the craziest posts I have seen by a gun nut trying to rationalize his/her position. I want to scream! I can't believe there are people out there who think in this way. Sorry to post this from the freeps, but I think it's important to know the incredibly sick/irrational attitudes that are out there and what we are up against regarding gun control. This makes me want to cry.
From thread titled "The only way to stop a gun is with a gun"

Everyone was so cowardly they were afraid to attack the rampaging loon in any manner. The kids were like: heroism? Whats that? Such chauvinism went away with WWII! And the adults were like: not my yob, mon.

Except that I have been amazed to hear about what little children have been capable of when seized by sufficient indignation and have not been taught from the word go that they have to proceed through the world like sitting ducks. That is not a preferable measure, far far better that adults stood up for their proper roles, but in a society where adults stood up, so would children in the necessary circumstance.

This was a kindergarten?
There might not be much, but I think when faced with do-or-die, even tykes would benefit from some advance planning as to what they might do. To swarm the attacker would incur some death, but would probably also bring the attacker down. But there would not be room for cowards.
Again, in such a society it goes without saying that adults too would face their duty with courage.

Also before you say lay off the kids... remember todays kids are tomorrows adults. There are ways to teach them from an early age to be brave and courageous without berating them. It will take a repentant adult segment of society to initiate this.

(6,238 posts)They are children for God's sake. Have them swarm the gunmen really?! Here's an idea how about we make ban all assault rifles for starters? Sure, he could have still hurt a lot of people with a pistol or shotgun, but no nearly as many. Oh, and we should make it a law that guns have to be locked up in a safe when they aren't in use. I saw a DUer talking about bio-locking guns, I'm not sure if that technology is ready yet, but when it becomes available it should be a required for all weapons.

(36,437 posts)These people are cognitively and emotionally deficient. There's no other excuse. They're shells, husks. Needless to say, they're all no doubt cowards as well.
The spectacle of these Freeper cowards - who are probably afraid to walk a city street unless armed to the teeth - speaking of courage and duty and berating five year olds for being insufficiently brave is indeed sickening. That several of the teachers literally threw themselves at the gunman and saved their students' lives makes it only worse that these armchair commandos would dare - would fucking DARE - to comment on any of this.
