Chuck Schumer: Left Must 'Admit There Is Second Amendment' (VIDEO)
Don't get your hopes up. Chuck U Schumer still wants a so called assault weapons ban and to ban high capacity magazines.
I can't believe it but some wise law enforcement types are already suggesting exactly this! Too bad Congress won't listen.
After Colombine, I was still teaching in an inner city high school. We had a bunch of vets on staff besides me and the retired JROTC staff. A few were special forces with combat time. So we met after school one day and walked the whole school making up rally points and contingency plans. A few of them started bringing a gun to school but left it in their car trunk. I never did, didn't feel the need. But there were so many tight corners in that old school that it would have been possible to take out an unsuspecting and untrained perp even armed with a "field expedient" weapon. But we all basically agreed that it wasn't going to happen at that school. The cops at Colombine did the wrong thing. Back then, we vets agreed a "movement to contact" and a "hasty ambush" was the answer. I never felt so safe in my life after that. That was a really good crew of teachers. Many of them retired within five years, though. I stayed in the inner city for many more years only moving to a suburban middle school two years ago. Now I'm all alone.
I'm not sure how I feel about arming teachers -- SHEEP. The folks like me, former military and only combat arms? Sure, but they'd have to have lock boxes with instant open combinations (not keyed!). But the inner city high school would draw gang invasions by night just to get the guns! I'm talking MS13 here.
I think teachers in those high schools ought to ALL have tasers though. I have known too many assaulted on a daily basis. One math teacher got jumped after school while I was there and they broke his jaw in three places. My kids all asked me what I'd do if it happened to me, or if I was now scared to come to work. I replied thusly:
"Look, folks, I'm too young to die and too old to take an A$$ whuppin' so ..... I'm just gonna KILL ya'!"
They all replied that they figured I'd say something like that. LOL! I've never had any serious (life threatening) problems in the 24 years I've been a teacher. I keep my military bearing as a former infantry captain and that works well. Yeah, I got tried once or twice here and there and I guess my responses to those incidents sorta got around...
