I'm against the idea. 

IMO, this is just as bad as giving teachers guns at school.

People who attend church are sinners, not saints. Teachers are sinners, not saints either.

I can imagine a teacher who had sex with a student and knowing he or she has been caught, making the decision to kill the student to keep him/her from talking.   Why not kill all the other classmates too.

I can imagine yet another priest molesting/raping another innocent child and after knowing he's been caught also grabbing the gun (that was meant for protection) and killing his young victim/victims before turning the gun on himself.

Seriously, not every Tom, Dick, and Harry (Jane's too) are in need of a gun in his/her possession.

I know there are a lot of well-meaning people who only keep guns for protection, but
the good people (law-abiding citizens) wouldn't feel the need to have a gun for protection if the bad people (rapists, robbers, murders, etc) didn't have guns either.

If people like George Hennard, Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, and Adam Lanza didn't have access to guns then there would not have been any mass shootings.

*If the bad guys didn't have guns then the good guys wouldn't need guns*
This is what I meant by my answer.

I think it prevented many more from being killed! I am for it!

....fine with me

....the good guys have to defend/protect themselves and others from the bad guys

More people with more guns will equal more dead people! If it's okay for all citizens to have guns, why do police officers even need to be trained. Just grab a gun and anyone can be ready to protect others?

Your intruder is just as likely to take YOUR gun and kill YOU or YOUR family. I do understand that many citizens are intelligent about gun use (i.e. hunters, farmers, etc.) and should not have their guns taken away. But no one can explain to me, why so many citizens are allowed to own military weapons. It makes no sense! Surely the government could start with a buy back of those, for a start. It can't remain an issue where people just throw their hands in the air and say, "Too bad. We just can't do anything about all these mass murders. We send thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims." Next!

For sure JDB, it is a changing society. Imagine this kind of a conversation happening, twenty years ago? It's terrible! Not that this is comparable but we've had a few armed robberies at convenience stores during recent months and they happened in the middle of the afternoon! Customers were threatened. What? Now it's not even safe in this small community, to go to the store for bread or milk? It seems that we are becoming numb to all this violence. I believe that drugs are playing a big part....so many obvious druggies wandering the streets here. :(

These routines are all artificially regulated by the clock.

For this watch, on the metal bracelet, the serial number is 160304. "The serial number indicates that the watch dates from the correct period," says Biebuyck. "It was most likely purchased in April or May of 1970 when the crew began to arrive in France." Because of the dating made possible by the serial number, Stein and Biebuyck link agree that the watch Sotheby's link is about to sell is the Monaco Steve link McQueen selected that spring day in 1970.

While the Pelagos 39 all but defines the concept of a truly wearable luxury titanium dive watch, what if I told you that you could get a great and very toolish titanium dive watch for less than 1/10th the price of the Tudor?
