This is heart-warming to see. It's good that people will protect their constitutional rights in this way.
And the cop is right - there won't be any crime while that guy is around. Would you carry out a crime with a guy with an MP5 standing there?
Another school shooting in the US

No. Not at the expense of personal freedom. The rules should not be changed just because a few idiots cause trouble.
In Israel it is common for teachers to carry weapons btw.
Or you do nothing and nothing changes.
Many will hand weapons in, in an amnesty. Obviously many wont. But cut out the supply and keep confiscating weapons and the number of weapons slowly declines as they are taken off the street,
Don't worry, he mentioned most of that too
. I just didn't think the man complaining about misconceptions and lies spouted by the media and then blame something millions of right minded people do and are in no way more inclined to go on a shooting rampage. Armed police in every school, yo. How long do you reckon it'll take to kill an entire classroom of kids with a semi-automatic rifle? Not long. It's not like the shooter is going to be oblivious to the armed guards and NOT kill them first. Not to mention the cost of their scheme.
sounds good to me.
But what if, for example, you enjoyed driving at 100mph on private land, safely as so many other people do, but then someone turned around and said they were going to ban it because a few idiots did it in the wrong place and killed a bunch of people?
I'm not looking to get into a massive debate or argument, just interested in what you'd think.
This of course is nonsense!
As you drive home tonight, consider why you can't express your personal freedom to drive at 100mph where you see fit. Because, there is a law for the greater good of society at the expense of your personal freedom to try and save lives.
As regards changing personal freedoms because of a few idiots, it just so happens the idiots in question are being given the perfect tool (guns) to kill innocent people very efficiently.
I don't know what the answer is in the US, but throwing more guns at it surely can't be the answer!

The repeated killing of children sounds good to you? Er...guys, I think we've found the next nutcase that's going to do it
The killer could have killed probably almost as many of the kids with a machete/large knife.
Clearly we should ban all knives.
Equally he could have used a scythe or large club with nails in it. Therefore we must ban farm tools and large bits of wood/nails.

That wasn't what I said.
Anyway, I wasn't aware there had been 'repeated' killing of children? Since when is one incident 'repeated'?

This is just one incident in a long chain of school mass killings in the US.
You're logic of course is flawed.
Ask yourself why the individuals carrying out these mass killings primarily use guns? Is it because they're the best tool for the job?
Frankly you're starting to sound a little silly IMHO.
So you would be fine with a law limiting the maximum speed of all vehicles to 70mph?

It's a quote. It is what you said. That's the very nature of a quote.
Hardly a long list. More people get killed by cars.
And certainly not any sort of reason to curtail firearms or constitutional rights.
No it wasn't. I was refering to no change in the current situation i.e. the Firearms rights. That would be a good thing.
