The cost of medical care in the U.S. may be a contributory factor, but the biggest problem is that it has become virtually impossible for a family member of somebody who obviously has serious mental problems to have them committed against their will. The laws are such that too many seriously deranged people are walking around just waiting for something to set them off...and we have groups like the ACLU to thank for that. The problem is that somewhere there needs to be a balance between depriving people of their rights and being able to commit a person who is in serious need of help.
32. Sidwell Friends School where BHO sends his daughters
Rivkah   (12.25.12)
has ELEVEN armed guards and are looking for a TWELFTH! That does not include Secret Service agents who guard BHO's children! David Gregory and other notables in the Washington, D.C. area send their children there because with ELEVEN ARMED GUARDS, they think the children will be safe. THEY ARE! What schools DON'T NEED is TSA type armed guards at schools who will sexually molest and assault them. They need professional armed guards with Uzi's.
33. EVERY home in America should consider having assault rifles
Rivkah   (12.25.12)
since there are MILLIONS of foreign troops on US military bases while American troops are in 418 military bases around the world where they cannot protect the USA or their families. Russia and China and the Muslims are planning to slaughter Americans and the only defense with the police murdered which is the first thing that is done in an invasion of a nation by the pre-positioned troops, is for every American household to have a way to defend itself like the Koreans did in Watts during the riots, with AK-47's and shooters with them on the roofs of their businesses and homes.

You sure could have used that 2nd ammendment crap in Germany in the 1930's and 40's couldn't you?

Quit putting words in the NRA's mouth. It's obvious you know nothing about it. The NRA has no desire to go to Israel. You obviously didn't learn the lesson from Hitler that you should have. The NRA is paid for by law abiding gun owners that don't want to have their constitutional rights taken away from them by fools that spout nonsense not not unlike yours.

Brian, you're reading too many crackpot websites. Where did you get this info? Fark.com?
37. Security Guards at Schools & NRA
Reis Kash ,   Springfield, USA   (12.25.12)
What is the difference between an insane Muslim killing children and an insane school shooter in the US? Victims are the same, motivation (offend the community by most possible violent act), results are the same. Just two of the many types of nut cases.

Perhaps the NRA isn't advocating for universal health care for the same reason that the American Automobile Association isn't advocating for it because crazy people drink and drive. Perhaps the Humane Society should advocate for it because crazy people abuse their pets? The humane society's job is to represent animals. The AAA's job is to represent car owners. The NRA represents law abiding gun owners. Health care while important isn't really what they were created for. There are other groups that could and perhaps should carry that banner.
39. #37 the difference
(12.25.12)
Muslim terrorists are not loners. Because they work in groups, good law enforcement can usually interdict them. The "lone white guy" is much smarter and ingenious, has unlimited time to plan, and can get to know his targets. Look how effective Breivik was.
40. Guns
Get Real ,   UK   (12.25.12)
Israel's committment is to protect its citizens and particularly children from murderous terror and suicide attacks.If this requires armed guards at schools,malls,stations etc.so be it. Gun laws need to be eased to allow trained and competent civilians to carry side-arms. The bottom line is to deter and minimise the attack and stop the terrorists.Be forearmed and prepared.
41. Gun Control & School Shootings Controversy
John David Feagin ,   Tyler Texas USA   (12.26.12)
A simple solution that should not offend EITHER side of the issue is to issue BEAR SPRAY to all teachers. It is very effective and has an effective range equal to that of most classrooms, no permits are required, no legal fears of getting in trouble with the authorities, and since it is not lethal, there is no hesitation to use it. Notice I said BEAR spray, not pepper spray. The difference is comprable to a water pistol versus a high pressure fire hose. Result: Bad guy disabled and incapable of escape, nobody is permanently harmed.
42. 41 John David Feagin: A can of wasp repellant spray costs
Rivkah   (12.26.12)
less, a few dollars, compared to $50. for a can of BEAR SPRAY.
