I’m glad someone had the guts to say it.
Gun free zones don’t work. Let’s protect our children!
Whoa whoa whoa! Wait a minute here..If you put armed guards in schools, there’s a possibility lives could be saved. Let’s think about this now before we make any rash decisions. Is this what we really want? An armed guard around school children? What if a psychotic killer with an M-16 came into the school blasting away and the armed guard took him out before the psycho killed anyone? Do you people have any idea what that would entail? Lives would be saved! Then what? We would have all these living school children on our hands! No no no no, armed guards must be banned immediately!
He is right
Why guard our money and not our kids?
A national plan of failure.
The NRA would be far more effective leaning on the states to allow school employees to be armed.
... “The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” -— NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre
Typical police state solution. More and more taxes will be bled from us to pay for an “ESA” — Education Security Administration.
Instead we should not infringe upon the rights of teachers and school administrators to carry weapons, if they so choose.
That SURRENDER MONKEY John Boehner should take some lessons on testicular development from the NRA.
my school district spends $2million/annually (20 teachers at an average of $100K per year) to teach ESL- english as a second language....basically teaching the children of criminals how to speak English and making me pay for it....so why not cut back on the ESL’s and pay for security of the taxpayers kids???
“Gun Free Zones” like schools should post signs stating:
Target Rich Environment Inside and We Don’t Shoot Back
Same thought, different wording.
He is right on the money.
The NRA sent me a letter asking me to join. I think I now will.
Hypocrites all. F em.
I would just as soon opt out of public ed altogether.
BUT, we can use lefty rhetoric very easily on this issue.
“Banks use armed guards to protect their valued assets. Aren’t our children as valuable as the money in those banks?”
This is a LOCAL issue.
Then schools will be just like the airport security line, with union goons swaggering around like mini Mussolinis.
A far better result would come from putting a priest, minister and rabbi in each school.
Stupid.
Use the power of free enterprise. Any teacher with a CCW gets an extra $50 per week if they bring their weapon to school.
IN addition, these individuals must attend regular classes (i.e. range time!) on “teachers days” with the cops on marksmanship, armed response, etc. School district will pay the expense, trainers must document performance. Poor performance is grounds for rescinding pay.
IF an incident occurs, and they are called on to defend the student body, they get paid $1000; if the bring down any of the shooters, they get $10,000 per head.
Good grief. First of all, they are not "our kids," Mr. LaPierre; they are MY kids, your kids, and kids belonging to other parents. Cut the collectivist language and use your brain. Are you suggesting that we turn schools into armed camps that can refuse releasing their defenseless hostages back to their parents? Hell, we've got one school here in California that is installing high security fences with only ONE exit.
Until we can rid ourselves of the 19th Century factory model of education entirely, why isn't Mr. LaPierre advocating getting rid of "gun free zones" in schools and instituting free teacher training in the proper use of firearms and maybe even a foundation to supply them. Isn't that what the NRA is supposedly set up to do?
The left loves to shout that prohibition didn’t work so legalize “xyz” (insert special interest).
Obviously, Gun Prohibition in public is not working and it is TIME TO END GUN PROHIBITION.
Sounds like a federal program. Which means it'll go wrong; metastasize; waste money; get some people ruined, jailed, killed; erode liberty...
If they cannot keep drugs out of the country, they will never keep guns out of the country. Progresso's need to start dealing with the truth for a change. Put down the crack pipe and forget the fantasy utopian world.
