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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
