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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
