For better or worse we can't get rid of guns in this country.
Given that, I don't see why teachers and churchgoers shouldn't be armed if they want to be armed.

It's absurd that universal background checks aren't standard, but that's another story.
There are some restrictions which make sense and can help such as restricting high capacity magazines.

Sure, but I don't see why allowing guns in churches is insanity.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I hear the argument both ways, but imagine if every brawl could so easily turn into a gunfight.

36yo Seth Aaron Ator. His criminal record consists of “Criminal Trespass” on August 1, 2001. A second charge for evading arrest was filed the next day.
I wonder where he was heading when he was stopped. The trooper trying to pull him over might have averted a much bigger tragedy. This was definitely more than road rage.

But we have to stop the growth. There are some guns you can make illegal to own.
Given that, I don't see why teachers and churchgoers shouldn't be armed if they want to be armed.
Very few would take the necessary training they should have.

I just watched a video of a brawl at a Rams game. No doubt they if anyone there would have had a gun it would have been drawn.

...but if everyone had a gun wouldn't that make you feel much safer?

Not in that scenario, no. But the fact that I know there's a guy carrying two rows back in shul does.
No easy answers.

This. Anyone who thinks there is one is delusional.

If there is something which helps then why not do it even if it is an incomplete and imperfect answer?

No struggle has easy answers. It is a long and difficult road. If you don't start on that road you will never get to the end. It is easy to tell who is part of the problem and not part of the answer.

Not saying we shouldn't, the question is what partial solutions will help without negative consequences. I definitely don't have the answers to any of this, I just like playing devils advocate.

I would say Walmart caved inasmuch as I am happy with the decision.

Everyone has a breaking point. I believe Kroger is following their lead.
