Re: Gun Control
Back on topic, if I may.
There is a calling from those who want freedom to carry arms, for less restrictions, arguing that there should have been more guns in the school so the killer could have been shot first. There is also discussion regarding "safe" rooms for the children and teachers to shelter in until the threat has gone.
From the late 1940's until 1989/1990 the world lived under a shadow, it was the Cold War, both sides, the Good (the West) and the Evil Empire* (the USSR, Warsaw Pact) amassed more and more weapons in an insane attempt of one one-upmanship and to stop the other opening fire. There was even Shelters to shield people.
This situation was referred to as M.A.D (Mutualy Assured Destruction) sounds very similar to the gun advocates view.
