I did and it does make sense.

No, it doesn't. The insurgents are good at making bombs because bombs are very effective tools in insurgent warfare. It has nothing to do with their marksmanship training. The medical director's idea is akin to saying the US Navy is good at sailing ships because they don't receive formal marksmanship training. It makes no sense.

Do you think that a doctor, a medical director at that, with longevity in the VA hospital system might have access to accurate data based on military intelligence? Do you think he would simply make up an anecdotal statement when discussing his services to other professionals?

Yes, and some doctors especially do this. They are used to being experts in their field (they usually are) and having patients put great faith in their statements (they often do.) They extend that to thinking that _anything_ they say is coming from an expert and is therefore valid.

He may, or he may not. Don't see why a doctor would have access to data related to motivation of choice in weaponry. I also doubt the data is accurate.

I think that is certainly a possibility. Doctors aren't saints.

No. I think it highly unlikely, in fact.

I don't think he would lie on purpose, but that doesn't mean that everything he said was correct. It is also possible that you misinterpreted what he did say. I could certainly see him saying that IED injuries are more prevalent than gnshot wounds in present conflicts. Extrapolating that the reason for that was because the insurgents can't shoot is unwarranted.

brainstorming, aka verbal diarrhea, is not offering options.

So what is the cost of allowing teachers to carry?

So far that is the only solution you have offered. You have not provided implementation and costs, so apparently so far you have only spewed verbal diarrhea...

both the implementation approach and the costs have been discussed in considerable detail. If you want it typed up neat in a single page, send me money. Or do it for your proposals that were too stupid to even garner conversation. I'll match them 1 for 1.

Where? Where is the version of the implementation and costs you agree with? Just point me in the direction if this has alerady been discussed in detail.

So by your own definition you are sticking with your verbal diarrhea and not offering options. Something about a pot and a ketlle....

All In The Family was one of if not the best TV sitcoms. Norman Lear found a medium to present American born wisdom in an everlasting humorous way. The character Archie Bunker was like my dad. I tried to get him to watch the show. He was not amused. I think he thought I was making fun of him.

You present Iraq, but in the past 2 years scores of other nearby nations used guns to get rid of oppressive dictatorships. They didn't get there by asking nicely. And they didn't have 200 years of a better life to fight for. We, the West, give an example that life can be better, rather than serving shitheads who build giant palaces with oil money and ignore the people.

We, the west created many of those oppressive dictatorships. I doubt we are seen as the great model of society.

But it's also odd citing from a region that has not enjoyed free speech in general. Where speaking out against Islam can get you jailed or killed, where any reference to Muhammad (Allah help you if you name the class teddy bear after him) could get you stoned.

So, guns don't protect free speech? I thought you were claiming the opposite?

Actually I think I saw data that under qadafi Libyan citizens weren't allowed to own guns. A good example of a dictator allowed to remain in power for a long time specifically by enacting strict gun control laws.

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Actually All in the Family was an Americanized version of a British sitcom call Til Death Us Do Part, created by Johnny Speight.
In 1965, Speight wrote a BBC TV pilot which became the 1966 series Till Death Us Do Part featuring Warren Mitchell as Alf Garnett, a reactionary Conservative-voting working class man with a chip on his shoulder and an angry word on everything. Garnett became one of the most memorable characters in British TV history, despite being such an appalling figure. The series also starred Dandy Nichols, as his long-suffering wife Elsie. The 1971 US sitcom All in the Family was based on this series.

However, the script was written in American over here.
