    | Kenya has a choice. During writing exercises, her fourth-grade teacher, Joe Alberti, lets his students sit and work wherever they’d like. Kenya’s desk is near the door, where she has a clear view of arithmetic problems chalked on the blackboard, and printed instructions for what to do in case of a lockdown. But she decides to move to a spot where she can have more space to herself. She picks a pencil from the graveyard of broken stubs in her desk and heads for an open swath of green carpet across the classroom.

    | When will the idiots figure it out. The problem is not the availability of guns.  The problem is the getto culture that has no respect for laws, human life, or property.  Take away the guns and you would have the same result using knives and clubs. 
 Most of the miscreants engaging in gun violence already have criminal records and should be in jail. As long as the system keeps letting them out on bail and probation the problem will continue.  One could easily conclude that the government won't prosecute the criminals to the extent that they could because it doesn't suit their agenda.
 
 It would do more good to teach these kids some respect instead of a meaningless rant against inanimate objects.

                TO REMEMBER |  
              | 
                    
                      | You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible.  — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |  |  |
