    I've been trying to find the radio nova secret Santa today.(Great Dublin rock radio station for all you in countryland) Pain in the ass. Although I did get some laughs. Anybody that asked me was I the radio nova secret santa, I put out my hand to them as if to say congratulations then tell them NO. Watching their faces has been funny but also awful at the same time. Thank god they found it funny too.

    If anything, you'll see some groups calling for teachers to be armed before they call for controlled gun laws.

    And on cue, the NRA are now calling for armed guards in schools. Jesus.... :rolleyes:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Yep, that sounds like a solid plan.

    Gob****es. Are they going to pay for them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,888 ✭✭✭Charisteas


    I think having armed military security in schools is a good idea. I would certainly feel a lot safer knowing that my kid was attending a school with two trained soldiers standing at the gates.

    It solves nothing. Still doesn't stop the next psycho killing everyone on the schoolbus on the way home or on a Saturday in the shopping mall. Giving everyone a gun seems to me a bizarre way to eliminate a problem that only exists because everyone and anyone can get their hands on a gun if they want to.

    Couldn't believe that NRA guy today saying the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is having a good guy with a gun. How about option three - don't give bad guys access to guns.

    It's a strange mentality to think the best way to fight gun violence is by having more guns. The sad thing is I heard a reporter saying that around 53% of Americans actually agree with this line of thinking so it's quite possible this could happen.

    Didnt they also say to give all teachers a gun aswell? Yea how long till a child robs or finds that gun and uses it .

    Bad Guys with Guns vs Good Guys with Guns doesnt fix anything , it just leads to more un-neccasary deaths


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,297 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Part of their argument was essentially "Guns aren't responsible, imaginary guns in video games are responsible"

    That's the thing. You'd have to secure it in such a way that students can't get near it in any way, but also it's easily accessible in case a teacher needs to kill a guy....

    Here's a fact I read today; there had been two armed agents present at Columbine high school in Colorado during the 1999 assault that left 15 dead. The reality is if someone is a nutcase with a gun, armed guards offer no deterrence whatsoever.

    2 Firemen dead in America, two more hurt. Went to a massive fire and when they arrived, some nutter walked out and shot at them.

    Shall we arm the firefighters as well then? Or maybe give them a military escort to every fire...

    I'll keep pestering people about this game, but as a heads up, The Walking Dead Episode One is now up for free on XBLA and iOS stores. It's been winning GOTY awards all over the place. Get it now!

    Just got FM 2013 in the Steam flash sale as well. Now to choose which lowly Blue Square team to pick to raise towards Global Dominance. :D
