It is our guns, and you should respect us in your schools!

Well, once again, it is time to again say hello again from down here at the diner, where we are always thinking through all the big thinks for you, so you won't need to get all wrinkly-faced from worrying your pretty little head and getting wrinkles. So hello again from all of us at the diner! And now that that is out of the way, we can discuss what we are discussing today, to bring you into the discussion

Today we are thinking about guns and schools and also guns in schools. The why we are talking about this is because that whenever anybody who takes guns to school actually shoots somebody, there are people who politicize the situation by ringing their hands and saying how sad and awful it is

First, let me say you almost never hear anything about all the responsible gun owners taking duffle bags full of semiautomatic rifles to school with thousands of rounds of ammo and then nothing happens and later they go home --- and why is that I will leave it to you to figure out, but we all know it is because that the media will not cover it. So instead of talking about all the shootings that don't happen, people talk about keeping guns out of schools. But if we keep guns out of schools, guns will never become educated or learn to be responsible; and if we do not have responsible guns, how can we have responsible gun owners? I did not actually mean to talk about this, but then it just occurred to me, so I thought I should mention it

But some people do have ideas so we have been thinking hard here

One idea is to harden classrooms: maybe giving the teacher a peashooter or a popgun? Or maybe it is time to stop being so wishy-washy. Why not arm teachers with grenades and flamethrowers and bazookas? Why not mount claymores in the doorways and build tiger pits under the playmats with excrement-smeared bamboo spikes at the bottom? Why not install nerve gas canisters in the rooms?

Other people say that the problem is not too many guns in schools but too few. We could let everybody pack their shooters: students, visitors, teachers, PTA cafeteria volunteers. Who's going to attack a room full of kindergarden kids with uzis?

Anyway, that is what we have been thinking about down here at the diner
