So after every school and house of worship in the country has armed guards, thing will be OK, right? :rolleyes:
Angry hate-filled people with access to weapons will find a target to scratch their hideous itch. Remember the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shootings? The "if they had armed guards" argument just helps the NRA sell more weapons while ignoring the simple and obvious reason why the U.S. far and away leads the world in shootings and mass shootings.

You either think our gun laws are better than the rest of the developed world despite having significantly more shootings and all evidence and data showing otherwise. Or you don’t, it’s really that simple.

And once again, the targets they pick are touted as gun-free zones. Easy target, where the lawful are defenseless.

The irony of this "NPC" meme is pretty hilarious.

We have a better chance to defend ourselves here than other places. Given our country’s history, the laws are completely appropriate.

Other places have no need to defend themselves, for the most part.

****ing idiot.

Armed guards in church/temple? Sure, why not. /sarc

I wonder how our Fourth Reich would feel about armed people in mosques though...

Well, the Black Panthers being armed in the 60's led to gun control laws being supported by the NRA and signed by a little known Governor named Reagan, so...

And all data indicates otherwise so you can keep clinging to this irrational belief or you know... do the opposite.

As for the good guy with a gun myth, Columbine and a bunch of other school shootings had armed guards.

So you think that armed guards would do the job and that the ones that were there were asleep or something? I guess I'm of the opinion that you are dreaming... and that maybe if AR 15's weren't available things would be at least slightly better.
These high capacity magazines and other things that are certainly not sporting in nature bug the heck out of me also.
