Unarmed people encourage this sort of lawless behavior and senseless tragedy. If we required everyone to be armed all the time, the murder rate would quickly drop to zero. Obviously three months is too young, but surely by first grade, in addition to learning to read, our children should be learning to shoot, and along with their backpacks filled with books they should be carrying a gun for protection. Another word for unarmed people is "targets". Don't be a target. Don't let your loved ones be targets. Arm your toddler today.
