Communism is also a stateless society (ie, anarchism but done through socialism), whereas fascism tends to be centralized.

in Guns on University Campuses as a Microcosm of Larger Society on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

Considering school shooters tend to turn the gun on themselves after they're satisfied, I doubt arming the hell out of a school is going to change much, except increase the death toll as confusion reigns in a hall with 500 students, most of them armed and fearing for their lives.


How many do you think will be able to analyse the situation carefully and not pull the trigger on another innocent student who happens to be waving his own firearm around also looking for the real shooter.


The problem in America isn't too few guns, it’s the violent and decadent culture. This becomes abundantly clear when you compare the rate of gun violence in countries with even higher gun ownership, such as Finland and Switzerland. The core of the problem is your society, fix it before arming teenagers who spend most afternoons pumped on testosterone, booze, ice, or whatever the latest craze is.


As for your small-town statistics, here’s some alternate stats: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/national/g...>

Still, I wish you all the best with your 'polite society', where children carry guns so to school. I for one wouldn’t want to live anywhere near it.

The problem is supposedly the quality of sound. The driver needs to concentrate more on the conversation as the quality of mobile signals isn't constant, but tends to fluctuate as the car moves.
