    Except for my data source is correct.

    Why must you always be trying to act the fool?

    Why must you always try to speak ill of those you don't agree with?

    Perhaps your feeble mind doesn't know any better?

    Ellwood City,Pennsylvania — Armed security guards will patrol the halls of Ellwood City Area schools..

    Ellwood City Police Chief Mark Romutis, a former SWAT team commander in Pittsburgh, about holding drills for local police officers in the school after hours. The district’s next in-service teacher training day will be devoted to crisis drills, including procedures for a school lockdown.

     Ellwood City is following the recommendation by National Rifle Association Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre, who has called for armed guards in all of the nation’s schools.

    Emporia,Kansas school officials have decided to allow security guards at the district’s high school and middle school to carry guns as districts across Kansas re-evaluate safety protocols in the wake of the Connecticut school massacre.

     

    Hillsbury Fla.Armed security could soon become a permanent sight at elementary schools in Hillsborough County.

    The superintendent wants to hire 130 school security officers to patrol elementary campuses.

     

    The Southwest Washington district of Ridgefieldis hiring armed guards from a private security firm for scholl security.

     

    A number of school districts in Los Angeles and Phoenix sent armed guards to their schools last Monday .

    I expect, that when VP Biden gives his proposals to President Obama on Tuesday, Jan. 15th. it will include a proposal to have armed security in all schools.... beside being a good temporary measure ..it would create more of those three letter J-O-B-S..

    Bowl, I might be mistaken but I thought you stated that 80+% of Americans own guns. Then backed that up by providing what I see is a good data source. I just cant find where that source says 80+% of Americans own a gun.                                                                                                                                                                  Your data source, under the gun ownership / civilian guns tab, it does state that there are 88.8 guns per 100 civilians.  You did not take that stat to draw your conclusion that 88% of Americans own guns did you? Please point out on the site you provided where it gives a percentage of Americans that own guns. I just cant find it, and I really would like to know that number. Searching around The only thing I could find was number of households that own a gun or multiple guns. That stat was around 47 %.                                                                                                                                                      Please let me know if I just read your post wrong or if you can point to the part of that site that states percentage of Americans that own guns...........1iron

    Except for my data source is correct.

    Why must you always be trying to act the fool?

    Why must you always try to speak ill of those you don't agree with?

    Perhaps your feeble mind doesn't know any better?

    Bowl, I might be mistaken but I thought you stated that 80+% of Americans own guns. Then backed that up by providing what I see is a good data source. I just cant find where that source says 80+% of Americans own a gun.                                                                                                                                                                  Your data source, under the gun ownership / civilian guns tab, it does state that there are 88.8 guns per 100 civilians.  You did not take that stat to draw your conclusion that 88% of Americans own guns did you? Please point out on the site you provided where it gives a percentage of Americans that own guns. I just cant find it, and I really would like to know that number. Searching around The only thing I could find was number of households that own a gun or multiple guns. That stat was around 47 %.                                                                                                                                                      Please let me know if I just read your post wrong or if you can point to the part of that site that states percentage of Americans that own guns...........1iron

    Most sites I have now searched, across the board, come to the same number on gun ownership in America.... That no. is 47-48%..... In no way do I think 80+% of Americans own guns. Now I do think that no. could be a few points higher at maybe 50%. In my life's travels and experiences, that seems to be about right.

    You're correct. I'm a man and I can admit when I am mistaken.

    88 guns per 100 people is still quite a bit of guns yet we have less gun death rates lower (not including suicides) than countries that have weak government control and laws like our neighbor to the South.

    We have enough guns to give one to 88 people out of 100.

    Given the current run on guns and ammo after the shooting. That number is likely to increase.

    I did however find stats from this site to be interesting.

    https://statisticbrain.com/gun-ownership-statistics-demographics/

    Only 22% of Liberals own a gun.

    Its no wonder Liberals are known as pus sies.

    You weren't mistaken though, you're just dumb.

    Again how could one possibly think 80% of Americans as you put it:    " 80 people out of every 100 own a gun in USA."

    I'll wait for your apology you moron

    Na....whats priceless is you and DL36 had a significant interest in being the ones that were smart enough to prove me wrong.

    Since both of you likely went to my link and didn't say a word about my mistake you must have read it the way I did. Otherwise I surely would have heard more than just a peep from you.

    But yet your all over me just the same even after I admitted 1iron was correct.

    Perhaps you're a rat fink. No...no perhaps!

    I didn't say a word about you being wrong? Are you brain dead?

    Go back to posts 29 and 30 where I said that number you stated is significantly higher than what it actually is.



    I made that comment because it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that NOT 80% of Americans are armed, you f******* idiot.

    What kind of person thinks that 80% of its citizens of an industrialized country own firearms. I didn't need to read you pathetic article to know this.


    Again, you are DUMB as s h i t.

    you misunderstand that stat cited:

    That does NOT mean that 88.8 out of a hundred persons owns a gun...it means if you take the 270,000,000 million guns (cited in your source) in the us and divide by the population of the us, about 310,000,000....that is about 88.8%....it's the RATE of ownership

    If you think about it it is absurd to think that 88.8% of the people in the us own guns, you can't really believe that?

    Will wait patiently for your apology....
