I read today that there are more American kids shot dead in their schools then army personal killed in war zones around the world.

Should that indicate that there is someting vastly wrong with Americans right to bare arms ?

    How many lives would be saved world wide if that ever happened....   It will never ever happen as to many multi billionaire weapon and munition manafactures will loose so much money.....Plus the governments of all the countries where these things made solely to kill will loose countless billions in lost taxes.....
    Nothing is worth loosing that kind of money for.....

    Well, you need to check your sources. More American soldiers die of suicide than kids in schools.

    Self inflicted is not the same as another killing you......I can't imagine what it would feel like as a Solider to be ordered to kill another person...some I'm sure might enjoy it,the majority most likely not......
    Why do you think that so many soldiers choose to end their lives that way.. .?

    I was a soldier once. Every month they call a meeting and show movies of people getting killed in spectacular ways. Napalm is always featured, and there is always at least one flaming person. Such examples are cheerfully called "crispy critters" and the movies are shown specifically to make the men bloodthirsty.

    As for why soldiers take their own lives, well, it is a shameful war and there is only one way out.

    I've no idea who wrote it.....it's just something in the news papers.....
    I don't know how many Americans solides die or are killed each year......they are not reported in England.....I've not heard about any English servicemen getting killed either.....
    Maybe it's something our government don't want broadcasted....

    You repeated something idiotic without any verification.  The statistic is more students killed in shootings than American military men during the first five months of of the year.  You left out a very important detail.  This is why people should only discuss their own country.

    I don’t believe your statistics are accurate.

    Also, you should tell the grammar police to kiss your a$$.  This post was edited by ProblemCh1ld at May 20, 2018 6:57 AM MDT

    Yes, it is a very sad statistic.  But not a fair comparison.  Our miltary have firearms with which to defend themselves, our children are sitting ducks if a shooter attacks.

    How sad that it still goes on unabated......it's true soldiers have guns....How many permant armed police would it take to protect a huge school facility adequately though.....

    I would also think it would be impossible to disarm the America public.......  How would you ever know you have them all....:( This post was edited by Nice Jugs at May 20, 2018 10:18 AM MDT
