Team-
I know I'd better spend my time trying to teach a pig to sing, but I need a hand on formulating a zinger of a response to a staunch Anti who thinks Gun Free Zones in Schools are a good thing.
Here's the thread so far:
The Anti friend response..
Geeeeez, what could possibly go wrong...
GOP Congressman Introduces Bill To Abolish Gun-Free School Zones
Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced H.R. 86, the Safe Students Act, which would repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990.

My initial response:
What could go wrong? A lawfully armed and extensively trained teacher or administrator might be able to retrieve their locked up firearm and stop a maniac with a gun and prevent the shooting of a youngster, teacher, custodian, lunch lady or administrator-that's what could go wrong. I know you don't like guns and that's OK, but history has shown that gun free zones are chosen almost exclusively by madmen because they know they won't be challenged or stopped. They know no one will shoot back-until the cops arrive. Hopefully you realized this many years ago. Gun Free Zones only work for honest people who follow the law. The average response time across the country for police is 9 minutes, look it up if you don't believe me. 9 minutes or even 5 minutes is an eternity for an active shooter situation.
The Anti and and friend of the Anti's terse responses:
ANTI-FRIEND: Yeah not likely. But that's the kind of insane rhetoric we get from people who just have to have penis extenders.
ANTI-FRIEND: Hey "Dirty" if you believe only honest people follow laws, then why do we have stop lights and speed limits? After all, only "honest people" will follow them.
ORIGINAL POSTER: Ummm, the teachers first responsibility is getting the children to a safe place. As with Sandy Hook, teachers his their children in closets and other areas. I have teacher friends who know this is wrong to be armed. Yeah and they are not all liberals.
ORIGINAL POSTER: A handgun is no match to an AK47.
ANTI-FRIEND: I'm to the point where I'd like to see someone introduce legislation to introduce Republican-Free Zones. I'm tired of their BS.
Come on Team, let's come up with a response that'll make their eyeballs cross.
Thanks,
Dirty
