Should Kids get Guns?

Now this is just a point. Why not arm the smartest kids in the school? Like 95% or higher on standardized tests. If we're going to arm the teachers, we should have something preventing the teachers from doing stupid things. For example, while the remedial english class might get held hostage, the Honors Math class won't, since the teacher will get blasted to oblivion as soon as they try something.

Plus I'll bet bullying would drop like a brick.

Why not require everyone to carry a gun? We could create a set of rules un which you would be able to legally challenge someone else to a duel, in public in front of witnesses, if, for instance, that person cuts you off in traffic or violates your garden gnome.

I think they should instal cameras on every car and allow drivers to shoot those who drive like morons. If the cameras prove the victim was driving like an asshole you don't get charged with any crime.

Eventually one smart kid will be jealous of another smart kid, murder him, and then blame it on another smart kid.

because people with 95% or higher on standardized tests are more likely to need to relieve frustrations and go psychotic... and also they WOULD BECOME THE BULLIES because power corrupts

I'm just saying. People wouldn't bully the kids if they knew they were armed, plus if they're going to arm the teachers, there needs to be someone to stop the teachers from going nutso.

Then the teachers stop the smart kids from going nutso, so it works out.

Or we could give no one guns on school grounds, which makes a fuckofalot more sense.

I was parodying a post in the "Teachers with guns" one.



And I think not having anyone at all armed is a better idea.

I'd settle for setting up automatic guns at intersections to shoot out the tires of the people who think red lights are for other people.

Oh dear. I was like 98th percentile in middle school, and, had I been armed, I would've killed every last one of them.

Frankly, had I been armed, i'd probably bully everyone else. I bet bullying would get worse, assuming nerds hate the world as much as I did then.

What if we get prostitutes for the nerds? I mean like really high class prostitutes. One night of good sex makes you immune to anything.

No,we shouldn't give guns to kids,because adults shouldn't have guns either.In my opinion.But give a kid a gun,in a school playground,a lot of other kids are gunna get killed because of personal rivalries and/or bullying.Bullying would drop like a brick,because all the bullies would be shot.

;) ...That's the correct way to post!...I remember posting something similar...:confused:

...Another suggestion. I think the US army should develop a technology for cats and dogs. So that they can use guns. And we'll find out who they hate.
