You appear to have missed the point completely which was about attitude to guns and yet at the same time highlighted that very attitude.

I have no objection to liquor stores, adult book stores or a "bookies" to be distanced from schools for whatever reason. Mostly it has to do with morals though. And if those stores are "too adult" and children need to be shielded from them why isn't a store that sells guns?
The fact that it is a Christian school is also revealing about the USA....Guns and God often go hand in hand. I will add I don't know which opened first.
BTW.
We have just one liquor store in the town limits and I have never seen a drunk or anyone "hanging around"

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
Something else that we do all the time is have festivals for all kinds of events. There is always something going on somewhere this time of year.
For instance this weekend is the omelet festival. It’s a big outdoor celebration that lasts all weekend with food, music, arts and crafts, and a parade. On the last day of the festival they cook a giant omelet with 5,000 eggs and they add one more egg for every year of the festival. It has been taking place for 21 years so this year the omelet will have 5,021 eggs.
Here is a website on the history and some pictures http://www.giantomelette.org/
None of that has squat with a gun store being next to a school.Originally Posted by vidcc
I would be more alarmed if violence would be more likely perpetrated around a gun store but not simply of it being there.

You as well. You simply don't like them so it's mere appearance next to a school directly correlates to school shootings.Originally Posted by vidcc
Had you made reference to children next door being in danger, I'd have been right with you.
I also wonder who was there first.

I only raised that in response to your post about drunks.Originally Posted by Busyman
But to save you going further off target I shall put the original point again for you.
The picture is to show American attitudes towards guns and daily life. It shows that we are so comfortable with them that it's ok to have a gun store next to a school. We are so comfortable with them that even with their deadly nature they are considered less destructive to the moral fabric of our children than drink or pictures of naked women.

Excellent my original response was to this...Originally Posted by vidcc

I disagree with your last sentence as does the law of this land.
