No, Wayne, we don’t need another emergency Feral Government program. Look what the Patriot Act has brought us.
Disband DoEd. Return the money to the states. If they want to use it on security, fine.
State and local issue.
The older suburban well-to-do guy getting his hair cut was spouting the Media talking points about bad guns, bad home schooling etc.
To my surprise the younger, poorer Russian immigrant barber from Brooklyn NYC defended home schooling and defended gun ownership.
It was an interesting contrast.
La Pierre for President !
Looking for a video of the press conference. Anyone got a link?

I do not like a special interest, such as the NRA, to ask the United States Congress to spend more of my tax dollars. Like our current Republican congressmen, the NRA lacks cogent thought and are spineless. Spending more money that we do not have will not solve this problem. What needs to be done is getting rid of a lot of the gun laws we have on the books. This is at the state and federal level. There should be no gun free zones. Teachers, parents, and administrators should be allowed to carry weapons anywhere they want. Criminals certainly do, and they do no go through background checks. The problem will never be fully solved since you can't ban mental disease.
There was a time, not so long ago, that students would bring shotguns and rifles to school (left in their vehicles) to go hunting after school. That was normal for where I live in PA. It was also at a time there there was far less school security. Now, there is a resource officer at my daughter's high school. There are no gang problems, rampant drug problems - just kids being kids and a lot of mandatory anti-bullying programs.
This is teaching boys to rely on government to solve all of their problems, making them timid and weak and not to stand up to the real world. Meanwhile the lard ass resource officer lacks all ability to truly protect the students. Police are only minutes away when you immediately need them. Lard ass police officers take even longer.
