    I live in Arkansas and I do not have a problem with this. The WTF is why you would let someone walk into a school and kill your kids and not want every possible defense for them.

    The WTF is why on earth would you encourage guns in a school setting? More guns is NOT the answer to a gun problem. It only exacerbates said problem.

    My point exactly

    Nobody is saying it is a perfect solution. What they are saying is that the teachers undergo extensive training. Nobody is saying the teachers should go after the shooter, they're saying they should protect the students. Take a look at what has happened in all these shootings. When the shooting starts people run for cover. Many times they gather in classrooms. So far only luck has kept a shooter from entering one of these rooms. Ask yourself this. If your child was in one of these rooms, and a shooter came in, would you rather the teacher who ushered them in there for safety be armed or unarmed?

    Actually you sir are incorrect. The areas in this country with the biggest gun violence issues also have the strictest gun restrictions. Coincidence, I think not.

    Do you think the criminals are going to hand over their guns or just the law abiding citizens?, thus leaving themselves even less able to protect themselves.

    Someone would think twice about robbing someone at gunpoint if they knew all the "innocent bystanders" were armed.

    DE-STAR is designed to vaporize or divert asteroids that threaten Earth. This isn’t science fiction—I build things that have to work in practice. DE-STAR stands for Directed Energy Solar Targeting of Asteroids and exploRation. It looks like an open matchbook with lasers on one flap and a photovoltaic panel for power from sunlight on the other. By synchronizing the laser beams, we can create a phased array, which produces a steerable 70-gigawatt beam. An onboard system receives orders on what to target. Our laser beam would then produce a spot about 100 feet in diameter on an asteroid that’s as far away from the satellite as we are from the sun. The laser would raise an asteroid’s surface temperature to thousands of degrees Celsius—hot enough that all known substances evaporate. In less than an hour, DE-STAR could have completely vaporized the asteroid that broke up over Russia this winter, if we had seen it coming. Plus, as the material evaporate...s, it creates a thrust in the opposite direction, comparable to the space shuttle’s rocket booster. That means you could divert the asteroid by changing its orbit with a shorter laser blast.

    DE-STAR could also power things on Earth or in space. You could send the electrical power it produces—not via laser beam but via microwaves. Or you could use the laser to directly propel spacecraft. But here’s the thing: For full-blown asteroid vaporization, each flap of the matchbook would have to be six miles long. We’ve never built a structure this size in space, but if there were the worldwide will, I could see building this within 30 to 50 years. But since it’s completely modular, we propose starting smaller. We could begin with a version that’s three feet per side right now. With that, you could cook your dinner from 600 miles away.

    Or if even a few of them "might" be armed. ;) That potential for fighting back makes them think twice.

    Also, to your point, where have all the mass shootings happened? In gun free zones. So obviously disarming the general population just sets them up as easy targets. My local school district started having armed guards/police patrol them after Newtown. I'm glad for that.
