Additionally, we seem to have a failure to use appropriate force as it is (see the vigilantism at Loyal Hill which went beyond self-defence). <br /><br />Would personally prefer stricter border controls - we're a small island, you'd think we could control smuggling a little better...<br /><br />Beyond that, I have long thought we need to teach basic first aid as part of our public education. This would help in general, but could also be useful dealing with the aftermath of shootings. <br /><br />I also think we should be teaching our children self-defence, like ju jitsu. Would like to see that as part of the curriculum. Would even say our female children should be taught self-defence to a higher standard seeing as they are more vulnerable to physical violence than males, especially domestically.J Starlinghttp://www.jonnystar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
