Wordy and confusing?

I have a good idea of how to edit it, but I might not have time until about Sept.28th...

How about " In Russia, parents had to watch as terrorists slaughtered their children."

Pics.

"In America, teachers could protect your kids, were they allowed the tools."

Then, in red at the bottom, "Terrorists Know Schools are Defenseless/Unarmed/etc".


Well, everybody's a critic.

I like "Terrorists know teachers are unarmed." as well.

I also think there is another angle to the story that can be used. I've seen mention of "armed locals" helping police and pursuing the escaping terrorists. This thread linked to an image that appeared to be one of those armed locals. Some of those parents were watching through rifle scopes. Some handed their ammo to the troops who ran out. I think the fact that had it not been for some of these armed civilians the outcome would have been worse could make for a pretty good poster on its own.

Perhaps you could add a candid photo of schoolchildren. Like when they're on the playground or getting off a school bus?

Great work!

Actually, that's not quite 100% true, since teachers in Utah can carry concealed firearms. You could, in fact, make that the whole point of the poster: in the U.S., only Utah teachers can legally protect your kids.

They CAN... that doesn't mean that they DO. I am sure that none of my teachers in school (secondary and post-secondary) didn't have a gun on their person. Hell, I bet most of them wouldn't even know how to use one.

Add to that the fact that most of them continually spew antigun drivel... yes, I'm sure. Althought I guess the point is that it's a possibility.

Just one school attack on CONUS will do wonders for the ol' attitude. Government at all levels will quickly and conclusively demonstrate that it can not protect every school every where at all times. Then what will it do?

If Schumer, Feinstein, Daschle and the like are still around, they will try to ban all guns.

Based on what happened after a series of school attacks in the late 1990s, more gun control.

Too wordy IMHO!

Ossetia is the state, Beslan is the town - Chechnya is the neighboring state. I say go for either Russia or Beslan; as you can see, any accuracy level between those will lead to confusion.

School-children, kids, children... tautology. Too many children.

Adults, terrorists, teachers, Federal law, terrorists again... too many subjects and objects. Too much everything, you're cramming too much to say in a single poster.

BTW, also remember that a whole bunch of Beslan folks did the impotently watching part cradling AKs next to the equally impotent OMON guys.

This is a good idea: good luck getting the message across!
