As America panics following yet another terrorist attack in yet another "gun-free zone," the inevitable occurs: the left calls for guns to be banned and for more ineffective regulations to be passed. These measures haven't worked in the past, and they won't work in the future.
Instead, America should be focused on another path: let's make our country safer by deputizing America.
Admit it: when driving through a high-crime neighborhood, you feel safer with a police car driving next to you. When taking the subway late at night, the sight of a transit policeman with his trusty German Shepherd makes the trip less stressful. And the thought of a sky marshall protecting your plane at 30,000 feet is comforting, even if you don't know who he is or where he is sitting.

Mass murder incidents could be drastically curtailed if all “Gun Free Zone” signs were replaced by “Area Protected by Smith & Wesson” signs.
Clever idea. And here’s the clincher: if these folks were deputized as LEOs, no real law changes would be needed.
Oh and by the way, LEO agencies don’t need no stinkin’ class III.
DAMN!
I was spinning up a vanity with EXACTLY this proposal!
Concealed carry permit holders are already checked for criminal records and who knows what else. I know it takes more than a month to get a renewal on my Massachusetts LTC so they must be looking pretty closely.
So let’s take that one step further. Check me out as tight as you’d like, as I have nothing to hide. I had a speeding ticket 10 years ago, if that helps.
I was even going to propose a week or two of police-like training, just to calm the nerves of the Left. (I’m in Massachusetts, after all.) I like the idea of placing this Silent Sheepdog program under the local sheriff’s office instead of the states or the feds, but we want nationwide clearance to operate. Sheepdogs on a plane, ya think?
This would indeed be a Militia operation and heavily pro-Second. But without some “official” imprimateur, it would never fly.
Instead of creating the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA, something like this should have been done immediately after 9-11-2001.
That, along with tasking Special Forces with special “Sanction” orders for Osama Bin Ladin, specifically immune from political influence, would have saved a lot of money, blood, sweat, and tears.
But too many politicians wanted to advance their agendas.
Yes, that is an Carbine, M1. The original PDW
