Tasers should be in the array of weapons of school security personal, along with many others.
If people are looking for a way to “prevent this from ever happening again”, then it is time to fortify the Hell out of schools, as well as other fish in the barrel type soft targets sought out by these cowards.
If we refuse to defend our weakest targets, then we are going to be hit again. It is just a matter of time.
I want armed, armored men around the schools. Every school. I want those men supported by plain clothes security systems operators. I want hardened classrooms, with steel doors and locks. I want steel plates in walls. I want an emergency firearm in a box in the classroom accessible by the teacher via access code.
I want the schools to have greater defenses than banks or even jails.
If people want to address this problem in a serious way that will have visible results, then this is the way. Other typical solutions of taking freedoms of those who did nothing are simply power grabbing politicians, and I will not go along with that at all.
I’m tired of playing this game. The solution is to arm. Peace through strength. Idiots like Willie Nelson can kiss my ass. My guns are for self defense and the defense of those whom I love. At this point I have to view any attempt to take them or any talk of taking them as a direct threat.
You really want that many more armed government workers, policing every step from childhood on up?
Yes, this is tragic and hideous, but we’ve millions and millions of kids in school every day for half the year—and school is still by far the safest place they spend their time.
Yeah, I’d be for schools having a little more protection, but what you’re suggesting is way over the top.
