What - The NRA Wants Armed Firefighters Now? HUFFPOST: 4 Firefighters Shot, 2 Dead In Webster, NY. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 24, 19:07

Have the police arrive on the scene first to secure the area. {nm} wroberson Dec 25, 01:36

There is no mention of the NRA in your linked article. There is no quote about the NRA wanting armed firefighters. {nm} RazorHawk Dec 25, 05:01

It is a simple extrapolation...the solution to a crazed shooter in a shcool is armed guards. The solution to a crazed shooter Buy BONDS 19 Dec 25, 09:03

I concur, in general, that the root cause is not Guns, bombers et al but society at large. In particular, I find the websch01ar Dec 26, 06:58

Do one in a million occurrences need answers? The overwhelming risk for firefighters is deliberately set fires, not shootings. {nm} forlorne Dec 26, 08:20

this article gets the point across I was trying to make about APeterson on the MVP chatter. good updated article on ROY as well. lobogotti Dec 24, 06:16

I'm now of the mindset whoever goes deeper in the playoffs gets ROY. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 24, 11:30

but what if they all lose 1st round? WAS has got to win this next one against DAL also. I think they handle the Cowboys, I'm pulling for lobogotti Dec 24, 17:57

If they do win, then it's likely sea was wildcard at was, that could be one hell of a game, and a media circus Moviesnob Dec 24, 22:46

OMG, wouldn't that be insane? probably will eventually happen. {nm} lobogotti Dec 26, 06:40

My pick would the the player the best represents the NFL in the best light wroberson Dec 25, 01:41

The HSX FF final goes down to the wire! slappydavid Dec 23, 20:43

Congrats Lobo! Kicking myself, but the better team won! {nm} Moviesnob Dec 23, 20:47

thnak you Snob, and same to you! I beg to differ though, I surely thought you had it locked up. this Wilson kid, lobogotti Dec 24, 03:16

what a year in football. that was as close of a championship I have ever been involved in. congrats to Snob, clearly the better team did lobogotti Dec 24, 03:15

I had alot of fun, lets do it again next year. I am curious to see any sophmore slump for the 3 stud rookie QBs. {nm} damenchipguy Dec 24, 14:05

We'll definitely be back next year! {nm} slappydavid Dec 24, 15:11

who has had a better season than the Colts? from 2-14 to 10-5 with a 5th seed in the playoffs. Luck breaking all rookie passing records lobogotti Dec 23, 16:43

whoever goes deeper in playoffs should be ROY:Luck/RG3/Wilson {nm} Moviesnob Dec 23, 17:10

I could live with that. {nm} lobogotti Dec 24, 03:16

curious, what record has luck broken besides passing yards? {nm} Moviesnob Dec 23, 17:14

most completetions by a rookie, most attempts, most yards in game, most 4th quater comeback wins....there are alot more, but none as lobogotti Dec 24, 03:17

Colts were perennial playoff team, they just didn't have a qb last year. Vikings season is better {nm} islander Dec 23, 17:27

this colts team isnt the same team. They turned more than just QB over. But, they had a easy schedule and a lot of non "Andrew" Luck Moviesnob Dec 23, 17:35

they could be the worst 10 win team ever, statistically. but that says a lot about their will to win. and actually their strength lobogotti Dec 24, 03:20

the Vikings win was impressive, but this Colts team is not even close to what it has been in the past. {nm} lobogotti Dec 24, 03:18

Wilson manhandling one of the league's best defenses tonight... {nm} slappydavid Dec 23, 20:09

Virgin Mobile, Richard Branson ad. At the end, he does a nod-wink at the camera... a cringe-inducing effort. Can't believe there was no one edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 23, 16:42

"The Fantastic Tale of Young Branson"? Awkward, but fits the tone of the ad. Wouldn't have noticed until your post. {nm} Zaba Dec 24, 00:29

Meet The NRA Leadership. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 22, 19:14

They are good for a laugh. The answer to too many guns is more guns. That's like saying the answer to Diabetes is Buy BONDS 19 Dec 23, 07:28

No, the answer to Diabetes is more Wilford Brimley. I just don't get the anti-WIlford Brimley stance of the pro-sugar groups. {nm} Paul2k Dec 23, 08:20

NRA on news right now calling for armed guards at schools. What do you think? I agree with this idea. {nm} elchan Dec 21, 08:23

In related news, NRA calling for children to get accustomed to a police state from birth. BSmurf Dec 21, 08:27

They don't need to be posted everywhere. Just knowing there are qualified armed guards at the building will help deter then people. {nm} elchan Dec 21, 08:33

Who is going to pay for it? The NRA? Who is going to pay the increased school insurance premiums from having an armed presence on site? BSmurf Dec 21, 08:36

Is there a price that should not be paid, if it deters future carnage? Insurance might actually go down, not up. elchan Dec 21, 08:44

statistically speaking, your kids are safer in school from a gunman than pretty much anywhere else they could be. BSmurf Dec 21, 08:53

kids are many magnitudes of probability more likely to get shot in a home containing guns than a school without them BSmurf Dec 21, 08:57

First where are these stats? Second it's a bad argument that because we can't get rid of all crazies, that we can attempt to for some. elchan Dec 21, 09:15

Museums, day care centers, restaurants, movie theaters, malls are all places kids artificially come together. Armed guards at McD's? BSmurf Dec 21, 09:37

I don't think that media is blowing it out of proportion, when 26 children are gunned down needlessly. Lack of media coverage ... elchan Dec 21, 10:36

wrong wrong wrong! News outlets sensationalize it for ratings, nothing more. They are NOT altruistic, and contribute to more of these BSmurf Dec 21, 11:52

Actually, if you REALLY wanted to free up some police to do this short-term - legalize marijuana and stop the 'Drug War" BSmurf Dec 21, 12:19

So the stats on school deaths stopped in 2007. So add 15 from Virgina Tech, and now 26 from Newtown. The cycle continues. elchan Dec 21, 12:43

Sigh. You're trying to inject extraneous information and knee-jerk emotional reactions into the debate. How doe that help? BSmurf Dec 21, 13:37

Any death is significant, but the Virginia Tech and Newton victims amount to 14.6% of total since 1992, which is statistically significant. elchan Dec 21, 14:08

Armed guards or police won't deter people in the state of mind to commit them from these kinds of crimes. {nm} DTravel Dec 21, 08:53

Yes, but if it helps to limit their carnage, it's better than nothing. {nm} elchan Dec 21, 09:18

redesign schools so access to outsiders is impossible. look for creative, less intrusive ideas islander Dec 21, 09:29

This is still a band-aid that cannot address the real issue. To redesign 1000s of schools would cost more than treating the mentally ill! {nm} BSmurf Dec 21, 09:38

Again your argument is that we either eradicate it all, or do nothing. This is not valid. Also cost is not an issue. elchan Dec 21, 10:42

people regularly vote down tax increases even if the results are beneficial - better schools, better safety, more convenience. Moviesnob Dec 21, 10:48

One bullet-prood vest for every children! {nm} Antibody Dec 21, 10:53

British TV had to clarify twice that their coverage of the NRA conference was not a spoof. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 21, 11:23

Now that would be intrusive. Nothing stops a parent from buying a vest for their child to put in their locker, just in case. {nm} elchan Dec 21, 12:17

Really? Not that I'm for it, but wouldn't it be just part of the "school uniform"? {nm} Antibody Dec 21, 12:42

It's was BSmurf to brought up the analogy, but you don't need to wear a condom all day, just when it's necessary. {nm} elchan Dec 21, 14:10

I haven't advocated anything other than a sensible approach to dealing with mental illness that doesn't amount to fighting the fire after BSmurf Dec 21, 11:59

Cost is ALWAYS an issue. {nm} DTravel Dec 21, 13:35

Not for parents, who want to keep their children safe. {nm} elchan Dec 21, 13:57

So parents who make a total of $50K per year between the two of them would have no issue paying for a $100K/yr bodyguard for their child? {nm} DTravel Dec 21, 15:24

It would cost that much per family, but parents already get into debt sending their children to university, so, yes. {nm} elchan Dec 21, 16:01

SOME parents can go some tens of thousands in debt to pay for college. Few can go a couple MILLION in debt. DTravel Dec 22, 14:16

Columbine had an armed guard. {nm} avandelay Dec 21, 14:16

Yes, one could wonder how much worse it could have been, if there wasn't any opposition. Fifteen killed with two shooters, and NewTown ... elchan Dec 21, 15:16

There are soooo many ways that comparison doesn't work. DTravel Dec 21, 15:26

i think it's a stupid idea {nm} prisoner 24601 Dec 21, 20:34
