The comparison in the title is fatuous and demagogic.
First, the "our guns v. our children" juxtaposition, to be accurate, should read "our liberty v. our children", but even then it crosses the line into Red Queen-ville.
There is no adversarial relationship between the two. It isn't "either or", it is "both".

If the liberals were actually concerned with the childrens' welfare, they would be clamoring to get rid of the gun prohibition zones in the schools and allow anyone with a carry license to have a gun in school. If the teachers and administrators were armed, we would see a drastic reduction in these mass killings.
As it stands now, there is nothing to stop these deranged killers in less than 10-15 minutes during which time they can do a lot of carnage.
Unfortunately, they are so focused on vilifying guns that they will not allow the only effective means of stopping these events. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
