Sensible laws for teachers in Toronto..

[Shayne]

WHAT!? That's all I've been saying!!!!!!! I AM FOR RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE GUN OWNERSHIP!!!!!!!! You have argued with me from the beginning and you agree with me!?
You again accuse me of being a Liberal espousing Pablum and yet you agree with me!?

You have gotten it in your head that I am anti-gun and have read all my posts and responses with that tainted opinion no matter what I say to the contrary then responded in kind.

So once again, and read slowly and carefully:
1. I am neither for nor against guns.
2. I believe gun owners should be responsible and accountable for those guns they own or are in control of.
3. You cannot compare a gun to a doctor, a swimming pool, or a bottle of gin and expect to be taken seriously by any individual with a modicum of intelligent thought.
4. I do not believe teachers should be armed with guns inside the education system.

If that is Liberal Pablum fine. I guess I get a label from a complete stranger in a foreign nation based on one minor opinion of the many opinions and beliefs I feel are far more pertinent to what actually makes me who I am as a human being.

Ferchrissakes, GIVE IT UP.

Neither of you are going to win this one and you both know it. Take it elsewhere.

FWIW, having owned and shot firearms for 47 years now I tend to side with Derek in this one, but I can also see how that's gotten right out of control.

Then again, it's out of control here too, isn't it? And we're supposed to be the better way of doing things.

I've got news for you - we're not. We're just different. As far as I'm concerned you can preach about responsible gun ownership all you like but as long as our social system continues to erode the problems associated with urban violence are just going to keep building. There's no going back, either.

I have to get back to work. Either apply these arguments to the original topic or think about something else for a change. I'm thinking about Gracies Lovelies, myself.

So there.
