Sure you would. It's like pulling GD teeth in this country to get funding to put adequate teachers and materials in our schools, but you believe people will just pony up huge chunks of cash to turn schools into fortresses.
try to put a new heating system into a school and see the kind of fight people put up.
I am sure that every teacher that died in CT Friday wished that they had a way to defend themselves....

May be they wished he never had access to the guns in the first place. I know that is what I wish.

I was robbed at gun point back in 89. I wish they never had access to the guns. I never have wanted a gun, had a gun or want one in the future.

Then I would say that you are a person with no real survival instinct. Not a bad person, but certainly a person who will not save themselves by means that remove the threat.

Pray to whatever you believe in every night to the humans out there who will do what it takes to keep people like you safe, at least most of the time.

So let me get this straight? No gun means no survival instinct? My dad has never had a gun and survived 6 years in Auschwitz. My mother never had a gun and survived about 5 years in Terezin. I would say your assessment is quite incorrect.

People can do quite a bit with out a gun.

I would not make that assumption.
