I'm a gun owner and supporter of the 2nd amendment, but decals telling the world you own guns DOES NOT make you safer. In fact, it makes you more of a target to potential thieves ("hey, this guy has some guns..let's break into the house when he's not around." Most gun owners I know never advertise that we own guns, as we don't want them to get stolen.
As for gun bans, they won't work in light of the fact that there are already 300 million guns out there. Banning guns will be just as effective as Prohibition in the 1920s. Alcohol was banned because it was responsible for the pain and suffering of many. But the problem; the demand is insatiable, therefore it didn't work. The same thing with guns. Just foolish to bring up gun bans.
As for armed guards in schools, who the fuck is going to pay for that? Sounds like TSA 2.0 if you ask me. I'm not jazzed about my kids being around a mall rent-a-cop who thinks he's George Zimmerman. So if we are talking about putting trained black-ops type guards at our schools, someone is going to have to pay for that shit.
And the NRA blaming movies and videos games is just stupid. They had a chance to step up, and whiffed BADLY.
