One of the board mods says thousand of kids could get shot and he wouldn't care, because the "takers" aren't getting the gun he doesn't even own.
OMG....

Only dumb people will sacrifice their own life for a criminal or thug.
Hold on there, the principal of that kindergarten was reported to have tried to stop the gunman. Was she dumb?

i didn't say I wouldn't care... I said if I had to choose between one or the other I would choose guns.
correct.
no... you can still care a lot about both. But at the end of the day, gun rights are sacred, right up there next to freedom of speech and the press and the right to assemble.
Responding to public opinion, states have loosened gun laws to allow citizens to carry weapons with them almost anywhere they go.
In Georgia, Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia, it's legal to carry a gun into a bar.
Guns and booze: What could go wrong?
But here's the odd thing: At the same time as Americans have become more enthusiastic about gun rights, fewer and fewer Americans actually want to own a gun themselves.

Wasn't it "Ohio" poster that had a note under his avatar saying, "Are you looking at my pint?"
At the 'end of the day', if your choice results in lost lives, then what was sacrificed permanently was of little value to the chooser. Your hair-splitting regarding 'care' is ludicrous.
P.S. unless you favor banning cars, you prefer to own a car over the 40k people that die every year in the U.S. due to auto accidents. Simple cost benefit analysis. That's 13 9/11's of death each year.

Are you claiming that accidental deaths are the same as murders?
For the sake of argument, let's say everyone was armed in that school.
The gunman come in and begins firing, there is STILL going to be panic and chaos...the only difference is now you've got God knows how many weekend warriors trying to get the guy and instead of one guy firing indiscriminately you've got DOZENS doing the same.
The INSTANT one child/bystander is killed by some Johnny Law wannabe with a gun and out to get the bad guy, your "more guns makes us safer" argument goes right out the window.
When that day happens, REAL gun control can begin taking place.
