Gun control doesn't work even in countries where guns are illegal...because there is more than one way to skin a cat!...or children for that matter..I say if the director of the center had a GUN...the only dead person would be the perpetrator!

probably not.......

You obviously were not there nor anyone else most likely on answers so no one would be able to say what could of stopped this.

There is a good possibility that the number of victims would have been far less.

No, a weapon isn't any good unless it is wielded by someone who is trained to use it. If the daycare center had security then less people might have come out of it unscathed. You also have to remember that a knife is silent and deadly. When would the director of the center know that something was amiss?

Who would keep a gun at a day care center where the odds of being attacked by a psycho are much less than the odds of a child accidentally being shot?

Listen to yourself, a GUN in a CHILDCARE center!!!! How STUPID do you have to be? Don't get me wrong here, I have my hunter safety card, as does my husband, mother, and all three children, my entire family actually. All of us own guns (for hunting purposes, not for play or protection) I am not interested in anyone putting gun control laws in place, and would vote against it if on a ballot. But seriously, a gun in a childcare center? You can't have a gun in a place where there are many children being cared for. And even if you did it would have to be under lock and key to make sure the kids didn't get it and kill or maim themselves. In which place it would be no good in the event of a surprise attack, like in Belgium, the person in charge wouldn't have had time to get to it anyway. how idiotic......to think....

No. What you fail to realize is that people who own guns - and can use them - have a certain personality ( soldiers, police officers, etc). They may be good with guns on a moment's notice, but are they equipped to deal with children and their parents on a daily basis for years? Or are you implying that an educator should carry a gun? Would this person be able to use it? Would this person be able to kill? Also, guns and children don't mix. So, think this through....Two children died in Chinatown yesterday by an unoccupied van which backed into them. They were 3 and 4 years old. 11 injured.... You can not prevent every accident and/or crime.

Self defense is always a good idea and is a basic human right. Defense of others, especially children is also a basic human right. These rights are not granted by governments, they are basic human rights, enjoyed by all people in the world. Any government who revokes or denies these rights must be removed and replaced. Criminals and other human animal predators will always have and use guns. No matter what any government says or does. 911 should be used to report the death of the criminal attacker by an armed defender. Not to report the death of a victim of the crime. Look at the two answers above who are just beside themselves that there should be a gun in a child care center. Hello? We wouldn't be having this conversation if there was no gun in the child care center.

You wanted a gun in the hands of 3 year olds? You might be crazier than the psycho who did this atrocity.
