Re: What is the purpose of gun control?
Your answer makes no sense. What dictionary do you know of that is written by morons and lets see the verifiable evidence for your claim of fact.
For the record, you're the one who claimed their dictionary did just that.
Edit: Apologies. I apparently read too fast and misunderstood what you said. The evidence that there is a dictionary written by morons was provided by you when you said,
Oh - and I just took your advice and looked up the word PROVES in the dictionary. Yes - this incident does indeed prove my argument.
If your dictionary says that an anecdote about a peaceful demonstration proves a need for gun control, it was written by morons. There is no other explanation for how you got from point A to point B. Well, there is, but pointing it out would be a violation of forum rules, and I'm nothing if not a rule-follower. :lol:
So you are NOT a teacher and have no experience but yet you see fit to pontificate from ob high about their job, their duties and their responsibilities? Got it.
Damn straight. Teaching is not rocket surgery. I know what the duties of a teacher are. And they do not include indoctrinating my children with incorrect information about guns and their owners. Luckily my children don't piss themselves at the sight of what was - to anyone but a complete imbecile - obviously a peaceful demonstration. And when one of my son's teachers started in on an anti-gun tirade, let's just say the student became the master. On more than one occasion he has put a teacher on their heals when they start feeding lies to their students.
Take it from somebody who was a teacher for 33 years and was involved deeply in policy for the entire staff and district: any teacher who insisted on crying and upset children continuing to participate in a field trip where they felt unsafe would NOT be praised for their insistence to teach them what you want to teach them. In fact, I suspect from experience they would have hell to pay explaining such a decision.
I couldn't possibly care less what your experience has told you. And I feel sorry for any students who are forced to learn from teachers who share your limited view of rights. Any teacher worth his salt would have taken the children aside and explained that what was going on was a peaceful demonstration, that the guns posed no danger to them, and that what they were witnessing was representative democracy in action. They would also explain that you don't have to like the ideas that they are promoting, and that is what makes our country great.
But I suspect that your students were never given that kind of message, and for that reason I pity them.
In fact, I don't take at face value your account of the incident as it is told. Perhaps you could point to a news article or story that told more about the incident, particularly the crying children. After all, if we can't pass do-nothing laws in the name of crying children, in whose name can we pass them?
