So you accept shooting rampages as 'normal' things to be guarded
against do you

They still are abnormal in the US,but also STILL possible even where YOU
live,Graham.

That would be very difficult now. Not impossible I dare say but very very
unlikely.


(and I do NOT accept them at all! I RECOGNIZE they can happen.)
All it takes is ONE guy,one gun,and enough ammo.
Or a terrorist group.

Even the IRA never did that.


Or radical Islamics.(note the VT shooter had an Islamic name written on his
arm;"Ismail Ax";look it up for the meaning.)
And any rational person knows that there ARE guns available in countries
with "strict gun control".
Otherwise,why are there still shootings in all of those countries?

They're only in criminal hands now and the noose is tightening.


S/normal/necessary/
S/be guarded/guard/
yes

Guards are visible and KNOWN,they can be sought out and the first one shot.
ODCs with concealed guns are not known or visible,a true surprise to an
attacker.
Palestinians found this out in Israel.

We don't need guards here.

Can you even stop for a second to imagine a country where you don't need a gun
and no normal sane person wants one ? Even the police on the street aren't
armed. That is the UK.

UK criminal deaths from guns (2006) 50. That's a ***less than one in a million
chance of being shot and killed***.

It could be improved (drug crime related gun use) but not by letting all and
sundry carry guns.
