Students and teachers are dead because of terrorists and kooks out there. I don't like the idea of guns in schools, or anywhere else for that matter. But as long as criminals and terrorists have guns, then someone MUST have the ability to stop them. Any solution that has proven to work, I would find acceptable. However, I do know a bullet between the eyes WILL stop the bad guys 100% of the time, and hopefully BEFORE they have killed our children. Just ask Sandy Hook parents. But the issue goes deeper.<br />1. We have failed to teach morals like every life is worthy and why. What makes each life worthy, that seems to be the issue. a) If all rights are granted by man or man's government, then each person decides if the other person's life is worth keeping. For example, a hood decides that if you don't turn over whatever they want at that moment, you do not deserve to live, bang. Or a government official decides you are not productive enough to be of use to the government, therefore you do not have the right to live, so proper medications are not given (I am fighting doctors trying to kill me with improper medications right now - story too long for here). Or some terrorist decides you do not think like them, therefore you do not deserve to live. The point is some MAN makes the choice.<br />2. The nation did not have these kinds of school attacks until focus on God being in charge was was stopped and replaced with focus on man in charge. When God was the focus, then rights were granted by God (see Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution). Death could only be assigned by man in light of God's instructions, not just the whim of anyone with a gun or you answered to God . Life was sacred because God said life was sacred and therefore had value.<br />If there is no God (who WILL catch you for sure), then there is no reason to live a moral life beyond "not getting caught". I know if I wanted to commit a crime, I would not be caught.Joe Chiangnoreply@blogger.com
