So if Baltimore were to disarm their popos, the place would turn into a rainbow sanctuary for unicorns?

I've found that it's incredibly effective to point out that the NRA position is exactly the same one taken by Bill Clinton after Columbine:

LA Times article from 2000

Then, when they follow up by blasting the NRA for opposing that plan, ask why they're spending their time attacking the NRA instead of constructively addressing the issue of gun violence.

Local districts should be coming to their own conclusions. The safety of the children (and everyone else) in a community is that community's responsibility.

The federal government should not be telling school districts that they can not or must arm staff or put armed guards in the schools.

As the member of a local school committee, I would advocate for unnamed existing staff to be trained by the state police or other qualified training centers and armed in the schools.

Our neighboring community may conclude that they prefer counseling and gun free schools; they are their kids and their schools; but if their policies result in failure, they should not attempt to influence the fed to impose their failed solution on our community.

Sen. Lisa Gladden, (D) Baltimore City. = Stupid.

One has to be stupid to be a democRAT. There is no alternative. To actually have an working brain and be a democRAT is contradictory.

Exactly.

Of course, everyone knows Baltimore talking about “making less violence” is like Chicago bemoaning Chick-Fil-A for not sharing its “values”.
