Parents Hesitant About NRA Armed Schools Proposal

Parents and administrators' reactions are ranging from hesitation to anger over a proposal by the nation's largest gun-rights lobby to put an armed police officer in every school.

Superintendent Hank Grishman of the Jericho, N.Y., schools on Long Island says he is outraged by the idea. He says putting more guns in schools won't make children safer, and could even put them in the line of more gunfire.

We need the 2nd Amendment to protect us from an out of control Government.

Let’s hire 100,000 more Government agents and arm them.

So this douche bag's better idea is to disarm law-abiding American people and stomp on the 2d Amendment.

All so he doesn't freak-out because of a cop with a gun in his school.

Like they were reading from the same script! Disgusting! Why do they even NEED to be police officers...just teachers with CCW’s (Only problem is, most are libs and have deeply ingrained learned helplessness and timidity) However, these psychos are all COWARDS! No exceptions! Just POINT a gun at them and they will crap their pants. America better man up, and FAST!

A good time to re-read LTC Dave Grossman’s article, “On Wolves, Sheep, and Sheepdogs”

“putting more guns in schools won’t make children safer, and could even put them in the line of more gunfire.”

Instead of being sitting ducks as they are now? How does one get to be an ‘educator’ and remain so hopelessly stupid?
