I'm a woman, with young children in my family who are in school- and I want the Principal, the teachers, and at least one security guard in every school ARMED and prepared to DROP anyone(even students) who appear in the building armed.
This is moronic. PROTECT the kids from this! Be prepared to protect them!
Same goes for any establishment that allows the public in- nightclubs,supermarkets,restaurants. If one person walks in with a gun, and several employees and patrons are armed, somebody takes a back-shot and ends the incident.
The kid in this school-especially after the recent Amish killings- should have been killed by someone in that school as soon as they saw the gun. They should have been prepared for copycat incidents- everyone should be prepared!
Dozens, even hundreds, being threatened by one or two people with guns could not happen if more people are armed and shoot first.
As far as I'm concerned, every adult(non-criminal) who can pass a good background and psychiatric check( which would eliminate most Muslims) SHOULD be trained to shoot, and armed as a part of daily life.
When only bad people carry guns- you get hostage situations and school shootings.
When only "professionals" are deemed to be the primary educators of kids, then whatever's goin' on in the current culture has an open invite into the classroom--including suicide, violence, etc. No educational environment is safe-proof and every one has pros & cons, but when parents delegate parenthood to daycare pros, you get what daycare offers--viruses, germs & all. And the same is true for any campus.
What I find hard to believe is that people snooze about the obvious that campuses, especially public-school campuses, have always been bully-rich environments. The only difference is that now the off-campus bullies are coming on-campus w/arms...and that the bullied kids on-campus are doing the same thing in too great of a degree.
