yeah, but there's more kids than teachers. Assuming each teacher only shoots three or four of them out of a class of 20 then the teacher will be gone but 80% of them will still be alive.

Kids aren't stupid, ya know.

Yeah, but babies are. Babies are just dumb enough to wheel their walker into a classroom, brandish a Commie pistol, and force the teacher to shoot them. The baby might, maybe, might, be able to pop off a couple of caps before the teacher dropped them. Although I guess the baby really wouldn't drop since it was being supported by the walker, but at least the impact would send it spinning out into the hall where it might hurt an innocent bystander.

We must protect the innocent bystanders!

airhead.. I am well aware of the number of stroll bys with little commie guns but think that the number is well worth it.

mini... Democrat? no... I want less regulations on firearms so that more people can help themselves... I don't want to "give" anyone anything. I believe that is the difference.

columbine... teachers can have guns but kids can't... against the rules...

You weren't talking regulations you democrat you. You were talking cost and affordability.

Technically, its inflation, the steel mills, the machinist unions, trucking companies, gun companies and retail outlets that are driving the cost of weapons up and out of reach of the poor souls that needs them most. Not the $7 lock.

Trigger locks are a good idea. Yeah, you pay extra. You also paid for the seatbelts in your car, another good idea.

No, you have to register a lock.

How do you keep up with those laws. I've bought a shotgun five years ago, put it in a gun safe and forgot about it.

How would I know that the laws might have changed since?

BTW, if the gun is in a safe, do I still need a lock? From the discussion here, sounds like no.

I'll bite.

According to the General Accounting Office mechanical gun locks, trigger locks etc.., only offer reliable protection to children under 7 years old. Gun locks are not that hard to remove if you want them off. I still use the saying "Locks only keep honest people out".

Besides, the 1995 Safe Schools Act that banned firearms within 1,000 ft of schools was in affect at Columbine. Why didn't this law stop the Columbine shooting? Honest people obey laws, criminals don't.

The major media edited the fact that the assistant principle used his personal handgun to stop Luke Woodham. Firearms are used for good though the media and government would have you believe otherwise.

Mietla when I bought my P95 and P97 they stated that if I had a certified safe that I would not need the gun lock. I think for hand guns they should have some type of clip lock or something. Something that if in the event the weapon needed to be used you wouldn't have to fight with a dang gun lock. There has to be something someone can design that is more effecient than a wire gun lock IMO.

There is a governor or congressman somewhere thats making a fortune from his investment in the company that makes those locks that you are forced to have.

We have the same thing here with the stupid "hands free" cell phone law.

Just another way to fleece the public.

These gun laws are so that people dont go around shooting their eyes out.
