(2,161 posts)I refuse to accept that the only place American children can be safe from gun violence is within the walls of armed fortresses. I refuse to advocate firing teachers and hiring armed guards.
No, school teachers in Switzerland are NOT armed. You are spouting misinformation.
The Swiss aren't willing to accept routine gun massacres in their society, so they have CHANGED how they handle guns -- they are kept in armories, not in people's homes. They have decided they don't want disturbed teenagers to be able to get their parents' guns out of a closet (or gun safe, which any determined teenager will figure out their parents' code just like they figure out the code on the parental block of the TV) and go to the local elementary school to massacre first graders.

Do we love our children as much as the Swiss do? Can we recognize that guns in homes means inevitable recurrent gun massacres and say that we want to CHANGE?
No more special rights for guns!! Enough!
