We were having this argument back in 1972
"Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

Coincidentally, he too looks taller sitting down.People today will buy a car with square wheels as long as the steering wheel is heated.Comment

Re: We were having this argument back in 1972
The distance between Archie Bunker's idea to arm all plane passengers with guns... and Donald Trump's idea of arming school teachers... is a VERY small gap, indeed.
The difference: in 1972, it was OBVIOUSLY a very STUPID idea... which is why it drew big laughs on 'All in the Family'.
In 2018: not so much."Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source.

"skyjacking".... I bumped on it when I first watched the clip. When was the last time we heard that word? When was the last time a flight was hijacked?
This strikes me as a model-issue for gun control.
We, as a society, identified the possibility of aircraft in the wrong hands as an unacceptable risk.
We made broadsweeping regulatory/security changes with respect to who has access to aircraft. Those changes were inconvenient and annoying, certainly, but we've all adjusted and I think it's fair to say that the law-abiding citizen has just as much access to air travel now as they did in '72.
Knock wood.... it seems to have been successful.People today will buy a car with square wheels as long as the steering wheel is heated.Comment

Kudos For trump to be the adult.
Archie was at the CNN debate..
This mocking does NOTHING for a solution .
Instead, we were given "arm teachers" and "I think I would have run in there without a gun..." Really, really bigly adult like. Lots of people are saying it.Comment

My Dad was a high school teacher and gun owner/Army Vet Korea.
He would have been a good person to arm in his day.
Not too many more of my teachers would qualify as a good person to have that responsibility.Keep calm, persistence beats resistance.Comment
