Mining the border between Mexico and the U.S. and making it a free fire zone would stop ALL illegal traffic coming in to include drugs along that area. At least via land travel. Requiring a certified birth certificate to obtain a social security number would stop the phoney SSN scam. Applying the same seizure laws as used in drug enforcement would make employers think about 14 times before hiring anyone they are not sure of. Obtaining a court ruling that children born by illegal immigrants are not entitled to U.S. citizenship would clear up quite a bit of issues as well. Just for openers. ;o) This should aught to develop into an "interesting thread" ;o)  !!!!

The ridiculous gun laws are one reason I refuse to live in New York. Hopefully those extremist totalitarian gun laws will be challenged in the courts and over turned someday. Not holding my breath waiting for it though. ;o)

I am for freedom to carry but with that freedom come great repsonsibility. The exception to this I would hope include drunk drivers along with the fruit cakes, drug abusers, etc. I also think it should be as easy for me to get a permit if required as it is for you. I am a Benefactor Life Member of the NRA and strongly support these freedoms.

shortmagnum, in all respect for your position (and I agree with a good bit of it); I think you are a little out of touch about what goes on with kids at school nowadays.
Gone are the days of kids settling things themselves with just themselves. Now they use guns, knives, and other weapons. Gangs are prevailent in many areas and unless you want to start a war (which I have on an occasion or two); what you suggest is just not gonna work.
I teach my kids to avoid a fight if at all possible but defend themselves and do it with every bit of strength they possess. That having been said; I send them to school to learn and be educated NOT to fight.
My method is to contact the parents of these bullies and "explain the facts of life to them". Whether or not my child was victorious in the fight is irrelevant. I explain as politely as possible that I don't want any further confrontations or harrassment from their child. Should that not sink in; I explain that they will be explaining it to the judge. Barring success at this level; I very tactfully and politely explain to the father of the other child that we will be settling up issues in the same manor as the kids if they choose not to excersice their parental responsibility. This seems to have a reasonably productive and motivational influence on the errant father and our conversation.
I teach my kids to avoid violence and fighting. They also know they will get one heck of a Whoooopin' if they start a fight not in self defense. They also know there will be consequences if they let a bully get away with putting his/her hands on them without defending themselves. I made this VERY clear to the school board and principal. They changed the rules about fighting because of it and deleted the suspension for fighting for self defense at my request after I explain that self defense is one of the most basic human rights.
The school principals hold the nuclear weapon of student behavior compliance yet rarely have the courage or integrity to use it. It is call expulsion. When a child is expelled from a school; no other school in the area will accept them either. This forces the parents to either move to a school district that will accept them (which is nearly impossible) or pay to send their unruley child to a private school. In my opinion, after "3 strikes" (provided the other child was not seriously injured, no drugs, or weapons) this is a very reasonable, logical and effective option.
My kids are all A honor role students and I want them focusing on learning and developing their minds and values. We as parents and adults have a duty and responsiblity to ensue that ALL of our kis are focusing on that.
