Of course the risk of being shot in school must be considered. That risk is so great, at least according to a national organization that promotes the sale and marketing of guns, that we should put MORE GUNS in schools. That way, this risk which you think is not even worth considering, would be properly addressed. Or maybe they're just trying to sell more guns?

If you'd have placed more trucks around your motorcycle in order to protect it, then it wouldn't have been hit by a truck. Or maybe you should have driven a truck, instead, that way it would have defended itself from the other truck. See how this logic works?

By the way, in Germany if you get a DUI, you can lose the privilege to own a gun. Something about acting irresponsibly under the influence of alcohol and endangering others.

We now return you to the rational debate...

(I'm sure it'll start sometime soon, but you might want to get some snacks or something while you're waiting.)

And car insurance is a harassment tactic, too? We all know it's just a scam to drive up the costs of car ownership.

What's your opinion on an uninsured driver running into you? Are you okay with that?

I think gun-owner insurance is a great idea. Training discounts (like drivers' ed), higher prices for high performance guns (like sports cars), and my favorite: a "vanishing deductible"! Every year that your gun doesn't accidentally hurt someone your rates get reduced.

Brilliant!

So is there such a machine in service anywhere in the world?

Anti Gun focuses on the Gun itself as a cause; pro Gunn focuses on the User of the Gun as the Cause.

Putting properly trained Armed Guards or Police in a School puts the Guns in the hands of Persons who could hopefully prevent or stop a violent situations.

It has already been suggested in other Threads that Teachers other authorized Persons could be armed with Tazers or the Pepper Spray that is used during Bear attacks.

The term rational debate seems to have a lot of flexibility to it. To Me rational debate means presenting facts or if you are not presenting a fact saying I feel or I believe....

It also means that even If I don't have to like or concur with what the other person is presenting.
　
I think a lot of the problems with rational diecussion is that People have a believe or feeling that they think is rational but not facts to back that up.

Some consider the speculative argument that the recent mass murder could not have committed the Crime without the Bushmaster or if the Magazines for the Gun had held less Bullets as rational.
I still see that argument a too speculative to be rational because the Murder took time to plan what was going to do. This means that if He did not have the Bushmaster or the Magazines that He did have the Murder could have figured out away to to do what He did. In this particular case He also brought Hand Guns with Him; I think He could have done the same with the Hand Guns.
So that is what is rational to Me.

In fact he did all the damage with hand guns, and left the Bushmaster in the car.

But don't let facts get in the way of talking about "Assault Rifles"

they are all over the place; some of the big companies in the MRI business are: General Electric, Toshiba, Hitachi, Siemens AG. The computers that process and assemble the image utilize a very high tech computer language called Fourier; I'm told some of the logic used in the image processing came from Einstein. Many of the hospitals located in major metropolitan cities have an fMRI suite. All we have to do is start running everyone through it and the ones that come up a psychopath will be set aside for further testing and analysis. Once we know that they are a certified whack job, off to Alcatraz they go. They will be assigned a number for easy computer tracking and given a device like this:

Amazon.com: Deadlock [VHS]: Rutger Hauer, Mimi Rogers, Joan Chen, James Remar, Stephen Tobolowsky, Basil Wallace, Grand L. Bush, Denis Forest, Glenn Plummer, Belle Avery, Ismael 'East' Carlo, Ed Crick, Dietrich Lohmann, Lewis Teague, Branko L


Here is one article on the inner workings of fMRI:

HowStuffWorks "How fMRI Works"

Sounds like a good idea. Start in the WalMart parking lot then move to US congress.
