The Democrats Are Coming! Boom in Gun Sales After Election

Making sure to exercise their Second Amendment rights before it's too late, firearm fans have gone on a shopping spree. Gun shop owners report record sales since Tuesday, suspecting that customers fear a Democratic federal government could curtail the right to bear arms with new gun control laws. In fact in October, there were 15 percent more background checks issued for new purchases.

500 Guns Swapped For Cash in Harlem: Are Buybacks Good?

500 Guns Swapped For Cash in Harlem: Are Buybacks Good?

In tough economic times, people are trying to make money any way they can — and one surprising example sneaks in community service too. In Harlem this weekend, five churches offered cash for weapons – no questions asked. Rifles, handguns, and shotguns were brought to the churches on Saturday and in return the unarmed were given a $200 bank card.This program, sponsored by the NYPD and Manhattan DA’s office, was created over a dozen years ago in an effort to get guns off the streets and has been met with great success. So far about 5,000 have been removed from New York and over 500 of those in this last buyback. Two weeks ago Brooklyn churches purchased over 400 firearms.Critics and proponents are at odds over the efficacy of gun buyback programs. Skeptics say, "It's like trying to drain the Pacific with a bucket. More guns are going to flow in." Though Oakland held a popular buyback this Spring where more than 1,000 guns were swapped for $170,000. Is cash an effective way to drain dangerous weapons from the streets?Source

500 Guns Swapped For Cash in Harlem: Are Buybacks Good?

Yes! Anything that gets a gun off the street is one step toward safer communities.

It's possible it reduces crime a bit but it won't eradicate the problem completely.

No way. Gun buybacks don't get guns back from the truly dangerous, it's a waste.

Other. I'll fire off my opinion in the comments.

Do Teachers With Guns Make a Secluded School Safe?

Do Teachers With Guns Make a Secluded School Safe?

Teachers in a 110-student Texas school district can soon carry guns at school. Those advocating the new policy argue that teachers and students feel unprotected because the school is 30 minutes from the closest sheriff. Staff that want to carry a gun must have a Texas concealed gun license, be approved by the district, receive crisis-management training, and use ammunition designed to minimize the risk of ricochet in school halls.The district's superintendent thinks the guns are a great idea: When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings started. Why would you put it out there that a group of people can't defend themselves? That's like saying 'sic 'em' to a dog.

While it's important for school staff to take the possibility of violence seriously, having multiple guns on campus sounds like it could present a danger in itself.Source

Do Teachers With Guns Make a Secluded School Safe?

Yes. You can't wait 30 minutes for the sheriff to arrive in an emergency.

No. School security can have a weapon, but not teachers!

No way! There should be no guns on campuses. Schools are not war zones.

Other. I'll tell you in the comments.
