a dicussion I watched today about guns in american schools

Postby wingedfish » Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:23 pm

hello, guys. I am new here, and I hope that I can make much progress in english with your help.

today i wanted a television live discussion about whether or not the american schools should have more guns to protect their teachers and students.

and it is going to carry on a poll. some american citizens chose to say yes, but i donnot think so. more guns means more dangers for the school.

what's your opinion. can we have a dicussion here?

We should ban guns. The thought that people can actually use real guns at indoor or outdoor shooting ranges makes me sick.

While I was in college last year I usually wore one of my pistols under my coat in class. That made my whole class safer!

Totally agree with Lennye. Guns should be banned. Not only in American schools, but everywhere!

is it legal in your school for students to carry guns? and by carrying guns, do you really think that you can protect your classmates and teachers? people lack of self-control sometimes, so are you sure that you will be calm enough all the time so as not to point the gun towards your classmates or teachers? just suppose:)
