Notice that kid wasn’t actually walking with all that shit.

No baggy pants and all shirts tucked in? Totalitarians.

I hope the little fuckwad that volunteered to be a part of that gets the shit beat out of him.

I would never think of putting a dangerous weapon so near my crotch though they do make a point about being able to identify intruders

Still school dress codes are good IMHO because when I was at school I had enough trouble finding cloths for mufti days let alone everyday

That's a frightening amount of weaponry! But why does this have to do with a dress code?

I wouldn't terribly object to a dress code, except that I'm not sure about something. Do many dress codes force girls to wear skirts? Because that would be bad, and I couldn't get by without only wearing long pants (not skirts or shorts). Also, dress code mandated clothing may not be as comfortable as what I usually wear.

Amen.

Seriously, if I want to, I can conceal thirty deadly weapons in a nice-looking school uniform. You can have a knife or two in each pants leg, a throwing star in your breast pocket, a small handgun, a dirk, and a few glass shards in your left pocket; two guns and a pair of brass knuckles in your right pocket, knived in your sleeves; one of those collapsible rifles in the back of your shirt (on the condition that you can have some sort of jacket on), a short length of razor wire hidden in your collar, a blowgun hidden behind your tie (if you have one, some schools do, some don't), explosive charges in each shoe as well as tucked into the inside of your waistband, a small gun in each butt pocket, a vial of botulinum by your wrist, for dumping in the school cafeteria food (as if it could get any worse), I could go on...

And don't get me started on the backpack.

actually, it's rather easy to walk with all that shit, including the shotgun. notice how most kids sit in their chairs, one leg stretched out and slightly bent? that is possible with a shotgun. also, most lockers will hide the weapon once it's in school property.

notice tho, a dress code won't stop the smaller guns from being in the pockets. and then there are knives...

If the best response to fears of gun violence your school board can make is to change the dress code, then you've got the stupidest school board in history.

There are a million other ways to hide a weapon. And besides, at Columbine, the students didn't come into class with the weapons hidden in their clothes. They kept them in the car until they were ready to start shooting everyone.

We haven't seen whether he is capable of moving around, sitting down, etc. with all those firearms in his clothes, and we also haven't seen that dress codes would prevent this.

Thus, this is hardly a "good argument."

Negative parental reaction? My high school implemented three of those four, and they left out the metal detectors because the board was too cheap to spring for them. That funding decision was being reconsidered due to a parent-driven push when I left. I'm still thankful I never have to go through that school system again.

That being said, I favor measures that prevent kids from getting hold of weapons in the first place. Students can be violent outside of school as easily as inside, and pretending that making a school safer will make your kids safer is just ignoring the rest of your kid's life outside of school. Making it more difficult for kids to buy weapons themselves, programs to inform parents how to properly secure their firearms so that the kids can't steal them, programs that keep the kids occupied with activities other than plotting killing sprees, etc. Treat the entire problem that leads to a kid opening fire on his classmates, rather than trying to limit the damage at school.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that I'm just positing more restrictive gun licensing or a ban on firearms. I mentioned society there, not people's hands.

Anyhow, would you consider society to be safer if there were more guns in circulation or less? Or is the safety of a society not affected by the number of guns in circulation?

Safer with more. Especially if "in circulation" excludes the state and its enforcers.

Regarding school uniforms, I think George Carlin said it best...

Here's another bunch of ignorant shit: school uniforms. Bad theory. The idea that if kids wear uniforms to school it helps keep order. Don't these schools do enough damage makin' all these kids think alike? Now they're gonna get 'em to look alike, too? And it's not a new idea, I first saw it in old news reels from the 1930's...but it was hard to understand because the narration was in German.

Uniforms don't really solve the problem.

Instead of telling some kids to pull up their baggy pants, I'm telling some of my students to stop trying to make their uniform pants baggy (Yes, it is a very sad sight).

Any good dress code should include proper holsters for weapons; it's dangerous carrying them like that. Just one mis-step and he could have ended up a eunuch.

Most of what he mentioned isn't deadly. Throwing stars, for example. You can't kill someone with them. Hell, it's difficult to seriously injure someone with them. They're used to slow people down, nothing else.

They had them hidden at the max 10 seconds. And as for bowling for Columbine, I heard it is full of shit.

I would say safer, because people would have the means to protect themselves with their guns. If someone breaks into my house and they have a gun, they better be prepared to look down the barrel of my 12 gauge shotgun. Not to say I don't take precausion. I do have a gun box in my room that is locked and secure to the floor under my bed, and I keep the shells in another location in my room.

The US black market, so it's pretty much inside the schools.

Also, If I was wanting to rob a house, let's see, In a country with strict gun laws (I.e. NZ) Get a gun for $5 (Handgun mind you) rob a house, have to be in and out before police arrive to arrest you.
In a country where responsible adults can have guns, you have to be in and out before a resident awakes and kills you.

Guns help prevent crimes in my opinion.

The only way less guns would decrease crime, is if all were removed, which will never happen as long as they get smuggled in.
Damor
19-09-2006, 10:06
In a country with strict gun control, you don't need a gun to rob a house. Afaik most burglers here don't have guns. True, not having a gun doesn't deter a burgler in the slightest. But if you spot a burgler you don't have to worry about getting shot because he's worried you might shoot first.
There's a lot of pros and cons to factor in. I'm not sure what the end balance would be.

Back to topic, the kid who smuggled all the guns in his jeans could just put even more of them in his rucksack and it'd be a hell of a lot easier and less noticable.

At my school, I feel so sorry for my female students. They FREEZE in the winter (and it is REALLY cold here in Nagano). You know it's the deep part of winter when the girls start showing up wearing long underwear under their skirts and carry small fuzzy blankets to wrap their legs in an effort to keep them from turning blue and falling off.

Yes, but they are stuck in the skirt whether the weather is nice or no. At least I have the option of dressing in warm slacks, a thick sweater, flece socks, and long undies.
