I support NRA’s proposal for putting armed police officers in cosmetology schools on bad hair days.

Not surprising. It’s an uber liberal rag catering to the free stuff crowd.

No, we're becoming a police state already.
After patrolling for years with nothing happening they will be snoozing or playing cards in a back room.
More conservative teachers with guns would be better, they have to be where the students are and be awake anyway.

i don’t support it. i support letting adults working in the school with ccw and any other adult with ccw carrying on school grounds.

we don’t need expansion of the police state. citizens can police themselves, government is never the best and first answer to everything.

Thanks, Red

Sure, put an armed rent a cop in every movie house and lots of em in every other Gun free environment. They will need certifications of course and distinctive attire to better recognize their position as officialism gun barbers. Let’s just see, Brown shirt would be a good start...

Wain LaPue is a shill.

Actually, I do not, as presented.
I do not want identified armed guards or police in the schools....
I want the staff to be trained, armed and ready to use their training and weapons.
The shooter need not know who is or who is not armed and willing to kill them.

I am pro 2nd Amendment and voted NO.

Our schools are already like prisons. We don’t need to make them more so.

When I was in high school armed black panthers stormed the place and briefly held it hostage. As a result for the rest of my time there we had armed Seattle cops on duty every day.

Interesting times.

Given that it is impossible to change the current environment what other options are there? IMHO the necessary changes would have to be repeatedly forced upon us by very heavily armed paramilitary units and even then without 100% success the possibility of an other such incident exists.

Without some type of armed presence at the school anyone wishing to “copycat” what has just happened has several minutes of free fire time. More than enough to run up a significant body count with any type of gun other than a black powder replica weapon. I truly wish it was different but wishing don't make it real (except for Hollywood and politicians).

As for those who project their fears about an armed police presence what result would they really chose from: A live child with some fear of an armed police presence or a dead child free of such fear? People in Connecticut thought they had a third option (the traditional American mindset) until last Friday when they learned differently.

Most of the schools in my county already have armed “resource officers” in the schools. Big freaking deal.

Cops are armed wherever they go. If they sit armed in their own office near the school administration offices what’s the freaking difference if they are seen by the kids there or at the mall or local store?

I was at a JROTC meeting once and an off-duty officer sat across from me. Guess what? He was in plain clothes and armed. The kids could have cared less.

Sure, I’m all for letting teachers have the option to carry. But the Black Helicopter types here, and in the media, are making an armed cop inside a school sound like a squad of SWAT officers camped-out in the cafeteria 24/7.

No, to police officers in schools.

Did we not learn our lessons with DHS and the TSA? Give the government/controlling authority a drop and they grab an ocean.

I would prefer to have a few well-trained administrators/teachers in the schools, former military parents if they must, but NO to police officers/guards/government/some new stupid organization that will need a freakin’ czar to run it.

Up to 36% yes, 60% no now - does anyone really think that 26 innocent people would have died in Newport had there been an armed guard of some type present when Mr. Lanza started to shoot his way into the school???.....
