Kids drugs and guns »
The US government is introducing a program to reduce grade school children’s dependency on tranquilizing drugs. With schoolyards starting to resemble the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, I’d be sprinkling Prozac on my Cheerios if I was riding that big yellow school bus every morning. Around many American homes, guns are easier to get at than your dad’s old copies of Playboy, so it’s no surprise that 7 year old kids are turning up in the classroom with enough firepower to hold off a platoon of US Marines. Short of arming every school kid, (As one gun advocate suggested) perhaps we should ship a few cases of Ritalin and Prozac to the NRA. They obviously need calming down more than our kids do.

Could you give a name and a quote from the gun advocate who suggested arming every school kid? I’m really curious about that. Unless you just made it up.

Hi Dimensio,
I didn’t write the above article. It was penned by a contributer. However, if you do a Google search you’ll find tons of people that are of the opinion that students should be allowed to carry guns to school for protection.
Here’s a link to a story here…

Allowing students to carry guns is not the same as arming every student. Such an equivocation is fundamentally dishonest. Moreover, the opinion piece to which you refer speaks of college-age students, not grade school students.
Citing an editorial suggesting that college students should be allowed to be armed if they so choose as evidence that there exist those who wish to arm every grade-school student is not honest.
