No. We should be taking care of business and protecting our kids, ourselves.

Um... no.
1) A child is too immature to make a well-informed judgment on what constitutes a "bad" person.
2) Unless a would-be attacker is also armed with a gun, the child would be facing criminal charges. As far as I know, in most states, even in the case of self-defense, you can't defend yourself with something lethal unless your life is in danger. So a bully threatening a child would NOT be someone that would fall under that criteria.
3) All that would do is teach children to approach violence with violence rather than with wisdom and precautions.
4) Do you seriously think a child responsible enough to carry a lethal weapon?

No. We should be "arming" our kids with things such as common sense, manners, and lessons to deal with life.
Giving them firearms will not teach them anything but to be violent.

No.
The problem is violence.
Why on Earth would you want to add to it?
Teach your children morals and when to walk away.
Two wrongs don't make a right.

I like it a lot. An armed society is a polite society. If teachers were allowed the option of carrying concealed weapons how many school shootings would we have had this year?
