Jeff, it's a one-room schoolhouse with one female adult teacher. If the teacher had a gun, it probably would NOT have made a difference if an adult man stormed into the building with a shotgun - she never would have had time to go for her weapon.

There is a time and a place for 2nd A activism. Just as we don't want the Brady Bunch vampires to make political hay out of this, we also should refrain here, given this was a rural one-room school with one teacher.

The teacher was the one who called 911 from a neighboring farm house at 10:36. Police were on the scene at 10:45. The shooting started just before 11, while the negotiator was trying to get the gunman on his cell phone.

He brought 2x4's and 2x6's to barricade the doors. He piled desks in front of the doors.

The boys were told to leave. He TIED the girls using either wire ties or flexcuffs and lined them up in front of the blackboard.

He then executed them!

The time for 2A activism, and defense of the plain language and philosophy as enumerated in the BOR is always IMHO...and that can be done without disrespecting these fine people or their beliefs.

Having said that, see my post 927. I do understand and respect the Amish beliefs...my comments were more out of frsutration at the whole situation than anything lse...and the constant spinning and PC gibberish from the left, many politicians of all stripes and the media and their "experts".

The answer, 200+ years ago, and today, is for the common citizen to be armed and to be the first line of defense against such instances as they go down.

Just my opinion, and, once again,absolutley not meaning or construing any disrespect to the Amish or their very serious and sincere CHristian faith.

God bless them...and God rest those who were slain by this animal, and comfort their friends, families, relatives and neighbors.
