4 firemen were shot and killed while fighting a house fire, should firemen have to be carrying firearms now?

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57560719/4-fir...

First off, my condolences to the families of these men who risked their lives continuously for their community. It is a very sad and tragic incident.

My question though is valid in light of the NRA's position about arming teachers or hiring security guards. Would that argument apply to firemen or even a sanitation worker? Do bus drivers also need to be armed so we can all allow the gun enthusiasts the right go walk around with guns at all times? Is that really worth it? Should landscapers and fast food cashiers be armed too? Is this going to be the next asinine argument of the NRA and their most extreme members? BTW, I understand that a lot of the NRA members are not solidly behind the NRA's leadership's positions.

    No, I don't think so.

    They're trained to put out fires. I think law enforcement may have to start traveling with them.

    So there are firemen and that they are all Christians, and that they might attempt to tension me down the latter? The latter being Christians? so they are going to attempt to tension me down Christians? ok, this makes as lots sense as a fish driving a bicycle, yet what they howdy, i will bypass with it. properly, i think my flesh and blood would be merely as solid for Christians to munch on as some imaginary Jesus. they could make me into lil cookies too. i'd desire raspberry preserves be positioned on me first nonetheless, it extremely is my in demand. howdy! If i visit be a human sacrifice, i want it carried out my way!

    ...or maybe you look around at the world and tell me how our society treats human life?

    ...as a gift or as something that any adolescent should be able to end based on "convenience?"

    ..or tell me how kids are being raised on our schools..

    .... as part of something bigger than themselves... or as the center of their own universes?

    ... do you think it's remotely possible that a person could actually be a killer long before he ever picks up a gun?
