    So all classrooms will have at least one gun in them - no way that could possibly go wrong - I mean no child would ever try and nick it when the teacher was distracted and no teachers have ever lost it and committed violence against pupils causing trouble

    And it doesn't matter how good a teacher you are, if you're not prepared to have a gun in the classroom and be prepared to shoot, kill, maim someone (irrespective of how many innocent pupils die, get maimed or suffer mental trauma), you're obviously not a fit and proper person to do the job(!):(

    There is some very real underlying logic to this.

    In every situation except one you are more at risk if you have a gun than if you don't have a gun.

    The stats are true that you are more likely to be killed by your own gun or in the act of using your own gun - than being randomly killed by someone else.

    Except in one crucial situation - and that is a war zone - a situation where guns are so common and available that pretty much everyone other than you has a gun. In this situation not having a gun is more risky than having one.

    Trump is basically saying the whole of the US is a war zone. With One and a half million people killed by guns in the US since 1968 - I can't argue with him. However I prefer the situation to be more of a kind of evolution. If a nation is so stupid as to not enact gun control - eventually those with guns are less likely to breed so over the long term redknecks will die out.

    Given that a lot of redknecks are also creationsist - they won't get either the gun control or the evolutionary arguement so they are basically doomed.

    I just can't believe this. Imagine being a teacher and potentially having to shoot one of your pupils or former pupils (even if it is to save others). Imagine if they missed and accidentally shot an innocent pupil - how would they ever live with that? Also, when are teachers supposed to find this mythical time to learn how to use it properly and safely?

    The problem is as far as I can tell
    If you had a referendum on the right to own guns in America it would probably produce a yes to guns vote. So if its what the people want.....

    You completely made up the first 'fact' and then used that to base your last sentence on.

    Less than 1/3rd of adult Americans own a gun - how are you so sure that a referendum would not vote to restrict gun ownership?

    Im not it's just my opinion that it would go that way. I also understand they don't have nation wide referendums in the US but it would be interesting.
    To be clear I think it is a crazy law that is obviously well out of date. But it's such a decisive subject for them. I just feel if they did vote on it they would vote to keep them. I may be completely wrong.

    I suspect America sees it's gun culture as a strength. Not only do they have a large army, but if their citizens are also armed to the teeth, then all the better for them.

    It's been part of their make up since the days of the wild west, and I don't think they'll ever let it go.

    Considering they were discovered and colonised by Europeans, they couldn't be more different in their attitude to guns.

    We have crime, hunting and farming yet we don't see a need to arm everyone in the country, and gun crime is rare compared to over there.

    I think they make their own problems.
