| I figured we needed a good debate topic, so let's go for the most volatile one.
What is your opinion on what needs to be done? What are your thoughts on the proposed plans and do you think they will be effective. Why or why not? |

| Since we have a few soldiers on the site, I thought this might be a fun thing to talk about. Personally, I think it's about time since female soldiers have already been in combats and this allows them to finally be recognized for all that they have done.
What are your thoughts? |

| Thank you, David--Ben's father-- for flying us out to California at the end of February for your big Shriner event. I shall gloriously bask in the above-freezing temperatures while hanging out with my friends and family that I miss oh so much! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| My coworker is ex-Army, and overall she is pleased with the change... though she still thinks the idea of anyone (man or woman) wanting to volunteer for infantry is crazy. I can understand that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I think you argued that very well, Katana. And yeah, it's really hard to talk to the nuts.
That said, this is my opinion on the various ideas mentioned: 1) Bans. I will flat out admit that I am in favor of a ban on assault weapons and high magazine clips. They are weapons of war with no other purpose than to kill people. You can't hunt with them, and using them on a burglar is just overkill. That said, I know that there are collectors out there who would want one just so they could have it in their collection. Perhaps something could be worked out where these collectors could have one, but it would have to be registered and assigned some kind of extra serial number or little tracking device so that if it ever is used in a crime the said collector would bear 100% responsibility. 2) Guns in schools. As a future teacher I have to say HELL FUCKING NO! First off, teachers shouldn't have to go through even more hoops before getting their credentials--and if we mandated that they had to carry weapons, they would have to go through gun training. Second, the psychological impact of a teacher having to actually use that weapon would be devastating both on themselves and their students (especially if they miss and hit a child). Third, they wouldn't be able to get to it in time for it to really be of any use before the gunman would shoot them and take the gun. Armed guards in schools already exist in some areas and don't seem to have had any impact. Columbine had an armed guard, look how well that worked out. Adding more guards will do more harm than good, since it will make children feel that they are in a prison and their academic performance will suffer. It's treating the symptoms and not the problem. 3) Gun safety courses. Yes! I actually think this would be a good thing to help people understand and respect guns. The problem would be funding to allow anyone to take it. 4) Background checks. We need to enforce them! It is a fact that 40% of gun sales don't go through a background check. That is unacceptable. Also, our police and armed forces need to go through a psych evaluation before they give them a gun. Why don't normal citizens? Just flagging people that have been prescribed anti-depressants is not going to cut it anymore. I will write more later, gotta run to work. |

| That must have been a rather harrowing experience, but I think you handled it as good as any other person could possibly do. Have you ever been that close to a tornado before?
And you can download a scanner? |

Wow, just toss in a Native American imparting pearls of wisdom or struggling with alcoholism and you have all your stereotypes. |

I think I might have to find this scanner app, might come in handy living out here in BFE. Especially since I've learned that no one really takes the tornado siren seriously (they use it for stuff like accidents as well)... not that we can hear the nearest one from our house anyway. |

See, that sounds far creepier to me than tilapia. Mutated in what way? |
