Ann Coulter just seemed to suggest that perhaps teachers or other school officials should have concealed guns in schools, in an effort to “reduce deaths” in shootings like this morning’s in Newton, Connecticut. Today’s shooting left 26 or 27 people dead, including 18 children. The shooter is dead.
In major study of all multiple-shooting incidents in US, ’77-’99, only 1 policy reduced deaths: concealed-carry laws. – bit.ly/SZbVLV

The very idea that “more guns” would “reduce deaths” is false.
Teachers and other school officials are not trained sharpshooters.
Imagine how many more might be dead by teachers trying to find and kill the shooter?
Not to mention, how do you prevent small children from accessing weapons in schools.
The bottom line is no other country has the “gun culture” as America does.
32 Americans are shot and killed every day.
More guns is not the answer.

you obviously don't understand the requirements for getting a concealed carry license.
The shooter wouldn't be that hard to find. It would be the guy openly carrying a gun. How do you prevent children from accessing weapons in schools? What, is a 5-year old going to overpower their 30-year old teacher and take the teacher's gun? What a desperate, unfounded concern.
28 children were slashed with a knife in China today in their school as well. Should we outlaw knives too? The states, cities, etc. with the strictest gun control laws are the highest in crime
All of the children stabbed at the school in China survived. Twenty of the children shot in Newton died.
Ann is just one of the talking heads guarding the inhabitants of Bullsh*t Mountain from rejoining the world of the sane. Fox News is a propaganda machine which dumbs down America by the day through disinformation and their slanted agendas. See their anchors spewing forth feces from their mouths in my visual homage to the network on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-fo…
Nancy Lanza had a lot of guns, and she had training as well. It backfired on her.
