It matters a lot. The grief that is felt by everyone is heartwrenching. I contend that we must have an honest discourse about how appropriate it is to send SWAT into a school; and when that is the best decision. The alternative is to turn our schools into the same facilities as a penal institution. That is good with some. It shall never be good with me. Let our esteemed congress declare that no citizen within 1000 yards may posess a weapon. For the children. And *who* shoots the kids?
So banning gun possession of those who protect the innocent is the answer? That makes a lot of sense, sounds great. Let some punk kid smuggle a mini14 into school in his backpack and open fire. maybe the rest of the school can knock him out with spitballs.
No law enforcement allowed with 1000 ft of Columbine. Heck, Klebold and Harris would have eventually run out of bullets so let's not hurt either of them, okay?
