I’m not saying they wouldn’t be the ones to do it - I’m saying nobody would be doing it in the first place.
Oh, come on. You don’t see how an urgent, time-sensitive situation where public order and I daresay civilization itself had more or less entirely collapsed for a little while could be a tiny teensy bit different than legislating regular society over time ? Call for more urgent measures ? Don’t compare apples to dinosaurs.
Be hard to be Timothy McVeigh 2.0, fertilizer purchases are carefully monitored these days. It’s actually sort of amusing - at this time the sale, distribution and purchase of nitrate-based fertilizers is more closely monitored and regulated by the BATFE than actual gun & ammo sales.
You can say that nobody would be going door-to-door to confiscate firearms if you like BUT that’s exactly what happened after hurricane Katrina. I don’t understand your confusion? It’s already happened. It’s a fact.
I didn’t know you could confuse apples and dinosaurs but I’ll take your word for it. hehehe. I’m not sure how you came up with your “Urgent” and “time-sensitive” assumptions but the storm had passed. The confiscations took place during the rebuilding phase.
Residents complained that there were not enough police officers to prevent the lootings and robberies that were taking place. Mayor Nagin and the Police Chief assigned many of the on-loan police officers from other cities to door-to-door firearms confiscating duty. Confiscating firearms from the very people who were demanding more police protection. Police protection that New Orleans could not supply. The police could not protect the people and Nagin and the city of New Orleans wouldn’t let the homeowners protect themselves.
Instead of using these extra police officers to protect the law-abiding residents from the criminals, Nagin chose to protect the looters from the law-abiding residents.
All you have to do is arm all the students. Then any shooter would be gunned down as soon as he pulled out a weapon. Plus, you wouldn’t need security guards or metal detectors at schools anymore. Just have the teachers pass out the pistols at the beginning of the school day and collect them at the end. Case closed.
Why would you collect them at the end of the day? Just because the guns are school property doesn’t mean that the students shouldn’t have them outside of school. Most schools don’t pass out textbooks and then require them back at the end of the day. Same thing. If something is useful during the school day, students should have access to the same resources available away from school as well.
I kid but only a little. We could bring our own guns to school when I was in high school as long as it was hunting season and you left them in your vehicle. It was perfectly fine and fairly common among rural school districts up until the last few years. Other rural districts had similar policies but required guns to be checked into a central location for storage when people came to school straight from hunting. That was more for theft protection than anything however.
