Subject: RE: BS: school resource officers (SROs)
Come visit here, Senoufou. I can (unfortunately in some cases) show you more guns than you'll ever want to see. In fact, I'll even take you out to a range and let you shoot targets. You can use my single shot .22 (Olympic grade) rifle, which is what I like to use for target shooting. It weight about 5 kilograms and is about 110 cm. long. In brief, it's not exactly something you carry around with you. But it is accurate enough to literally drive a tack at 25 meters.

A rifle such as mine is for target shooting, as in the Olympics. I am opposed to people carrying firearms of any sort unless their job absolutely requires it (e.g., when I was in the Infantry my job required it as long as I was in a combat zone).

I do not want to see armed teachers ANYWHERE. Armed soldiers at airports (such as Charles de Gaulle), armed soldiers escorting money shipments (in the Republic of Ireland), and other such things bother me greatly. They bother me to the point that I just want to get away from it.

Oh, that also includes the British Army stationed at Heathrow the last time I was through there.
