Sensible laws for teachers in Toronto..

[Shayne]

I am neither pro-gun nor anti-gun.
If someone wants a gun then by all means there should be a system in place to allow gun ownership. Strict, cost effective, and fair to the gun owner and general public. But those gun owners should be held accountable if their weapons are stolen, lost, misused, or misplaced.
These ridiculous comparisons and accusations about being closed minded or not thinking when referring to the anti-gun lobby or using odd statistics like doctor related deaths to support the gun position are really, really grasping. They actually do the exact opposite they are intended to do. How do you expect to get respect when using drivel like that? Especially when in the same argument I see mention of how blind the antigun lobby is!!!
When was the last time a thief stole a doctor and used him/her to rob a convenience store, or terrorize a home owner, or murder his family?
It is inherent in any person, including those who's life calling is to save life, to be human and make mistakes... how many lives would be lost if no one ever made the attempt to medically assist those who needed it? How many lives would be lost if no one had a gun?
Doctors and medical staff are held accountable by the medical community when something goes wrong yet, inversely, the gun lobby has the exact opposite position; when someone is hurt or killed all you hear from the pro-gun gallery are excuses and rational and not constructive ways to remedy or solve what happened. Be proactive rather than reactive and come up with better arguments than that or there will always be an anti-gun lobby. Why are people anti-gun? Let's address that rather than using doctors as a reason accidental gun deaths are OK. The accidental or intentional death of a single, solitary child is reason enough to find answers. No excuses. No rhetoric. Be proactive.
There is a much, much bigger and broader picture here and both extremes need to find a common ground. Guns are a reality of modern society, you cannot erradicate them but legitimate gun owners can never have to much responsibilty when it comes to owning one.
Arming teachers is NOT responsible!!!!!
