[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 371072, member: 6007"] Some years ago, the Isreali school system had problems with a certain group of people targeting their school children - in the schools. Certain school teachers are now at all times armed and present on the grounds - firearms not visible - but they are there. Many will say this is something they do not want to see - but there has not been one attack on a school that I can think of since they initiated this policy - nearly 10 or possibly more years ago. [u]Despite initial misgivings, the program worked[/u]. No matter what one thinks about firearms control - all you have to do is look at countries that have it - [u]and how it has not made a real difference.[/u] Canada has had problems despite the system they imposed. The UK is growing more and more violent - and now has higher crime stats in some areas than the U.S. of A - in fact this has been confirmed by the British Home Office - information available on the web and several firearms sites. And the beat goes on. All in all it boils down to this: There are good people and there are bad people. If the good do not act, the bad will do as they please. Sometimes the good cannot act because they are hindered by law. Ie: Canada - if your life is in serious danger - do not kill the criminal - you will go to jail and if lucky will get a suspended sentence or a short sentence. In the UK - do not kill someone if your life is in danger - you will go to jail. Finally anytime someone says let the police handle it, I like to bring up something an RCMP Staff Sergeant once told me at his wedding - I was the best man: [i][b]The police seldom if ever show up in time to prevent the crime.[/b][/i] [b][i]They almost always show up after the fact and conduct the investigation! [/i][/b] I wish more people would remember this. Bez> [/QUOTE]
