Notice the article to a dig at the idea by pointing out that Columbine had a armed guard and it did not prevent the massacre. The reporter does not know that police tactics changed since Columbine. Old tactic, wait till back up and SWAT arrives before lone officer moves in. Today officers are taught that first at scene proceed to find and kill shooter. Making victims wait is a death sentence.
Some mad gunman will attack a school again....but I bet not in that township. They go where the victims are helpless. Florida schools have “resource officers” which are armed police or peace officers. They’ve had them for years. Gun control won’t work, and even if it did, there would be a long lag time before it would make any difference. The guns are already available. Any news media person who promotes gun control should turn in ALL their own guns and get rid of any security detail. How many of them have children in public schools who are unprotected. Not any I bet.
If liberals are against armed cops then we should push unarmed cops be present and let the police union do the rest.
Liberals do hate it.
One school superintendent in York County, PA (my area) actually told the local newspaper Friday it would be a bad idea to have armed security because of the children.
Contact your state legislators in the next few weeks to demand armed security be set up in every school.
It can be the expensive police or a less expensive arrangement, but force the local liberal schools to secure their facilities with armed security.
I much prefer the idea that: "Some of our teachers are carrying, and have received advanced training. You don't know which teachers. You don't know how many teachers. This is not a good place to try and start trouble."
THAT would end school shootings.
One small beacon of sanity in a world of pedological bullsh*t.
How many libs would put up a sign in front of their house stating “Gun free zone.”
Never heard of a shooting at a police station.(Unless a cop did one by mistake).
Stationing of police at schools is a bad idea
Kids will grow up thinking constant armed surveillance by the state is normal.
This enables tomorrow’s totalitarianism.
Also, why would you want ANOTHER way for retiring cops to pad their pension benefits. Who do you think will be taking these shifts? Cops in their last two years before retirement. And it will be overtime.
And then someday one of these cops will go nuts after being rebuffed by the hot new first grade teacher and go nuts and do something bad.
Both the left and the right seem to have the same premise: That you can use force and the threat of force to make humans not to Sin.
Sorry but these tragedies cannot be stopped. Sin is part of human existence. Always have been. Always will be.
Most females I’ve talked to who went to women’s colleges always had armed guards at their colleges. Why should little children deserve any less? This, and no seatbelts on schoolbuses, have always puzzled me. Why the heck not?
Georgia School Superintendent John Barge supports the NRA’s plan.

There’s virtually always a cop car parked at the middle school across from our home in our town - also one at the elementary school but strangely not usually one at the high school - now whether there’s actually a policeman inside the schools is another story, but maybe the car outside is enough.....
