Funny thing about Israel -- ever since teachers were given official
sanction (which should have been unnecessary) to carry guns at school,
there have been (approximately) no school shootings in that country.
Compare that to the situation in the US since "Gun Free School Zones"
became popular (voted in buy Congress, struck down by Supreme Court,
voted in as a rider to something else by Congress and not yet struck
down -- Hell, there are folks trying to apply that rule to parents
doing home-schooling, especially since the libertarian types likeliest
to home-school are likely to also support the Second, therefore would
be instantly arrestable and jailable..

Naturally these places are popular with Japanese tourists, who have been
disarmed since the Sixteenth century, forbidden guns and even bows except
for the "nobility" with swords. The Japanese people _love_ guns, the
government(s) of those islands over the centuries have always been afraid
of weapons in the hands of peasants, just as the (leaders of our country)
nowadays are in the District of Columbia. Presently Japan is the ringleader
of the statist elements attempting to disarm the citizens of _any_ United
Nations member country, including the one that pays most of the bills and
gives them free rent on what would otherwise be some of the most expensive
real estate on the planet if if it was managed properly. Hell, I live
in a US state where the Second Amendment is totally ignored. Except that
the ammendment doesn't _give_ the right to keep and bear arms, it says that
Congress isn't allowed to fuck with a right we all have courtesy of being
born human.
Yeah, I'm in a bad mood just now. And since I don't give a damn about
Sarah or Jim Brady, don't make guesses about whether or not I might be
armed. Since I am better armed by my surroundings (walking through a park
or office suite) than if I merely had a cheap low-caliber pistol I could
conceal. At the range you can kill somebody with a .22 pistol, the knife
is already in your bowels.

Bill Gates has this situation where the federal government wants him
convicted for attempting a monopoly. Has Bill considered responding
with a question as to why there's only one Justice Department?
