Excerpt only due to JPFO copyright.
Article itself is an excellent summary of the "Israeli Solution" to creeps who choose to shoot up schools in order to gain attention. The author interviews a one-time RAND corporation researcher. He references the Maalot massacre in 1974 as a turning point concerning the armed citizen in Isreal. Indeed, the Israelis came to realize the problem with school protection was gun control. One sentence is well worth quoting:
"When the message got around to the PLO groups and a couple infiltration attempts failed, the attacks against schools ceased."
Prayers for the families at Virginia Tech who lost loved ones, or have one right now in hospital.

Schools get attacked a lot; police stations don't. Interesting point. Police stations do have guns and don't get attacked. I havent thought of that.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).

Allow faculty to carry and offer incentives for those that do. Problem solved.

Allow faculty to carry and offer incentives for those that do. Rank them on markesmanship and pay them accordingly.

I trust you will be forthcoming with your own solution consisting of more than one quasi-word.

Allow faculty to carry and offer incentives for those that do. Problem solved. How about...
Require faculty to carry and offer incentives for them to "hone their skills".

Rank them on markesmanship and pay them accordingly. It won't happen in todays liberal schools but I can dream.
The creepy part is, I was in class while the shooting was going on(before we found out) and the professor was talking about how most of the faculty in the department had guns on campus and went to ranges together "ages ago". My prof bought a gun back then just to fit in.
How times have changed.

Exactly right.
If all or most of those kids have grown up around guns, knew how to use them and carried, the gunman would have gone down in the first two minutes, while most of the students surviving.
This is no reflection on the victims, because they were victims not only of the gunman, but also of our culture, that teaches them that they need to fear guns, instead of learning to use them, not to mention the laws, which prohibit them from carrying and using them, to defend themselves against crazed gunmen and terrorists.
Gunmen, terrorists all prey on the defenseless.

Gun control is hitting what you aim at. That’s the only kind of gun control I’m for.

I don’t follow your logic. You do not obviously follow mine. What do you claim I am aiming at?!?
