——— A far better way is to allow all school staff to pack heat.
I consider that to be a rather foolish statement. It presumes the staff capable of maintaining and more importantly using a weapon. The cost of one armed sworn officer can be paid for by making minor staff reductions. The assistant public relations person, the third level coach, the teacher’s assistant assistant, the second vice principal and on and on can be eliminated.
There will never be federal funds for security. That is the task of the local school boards. Those must make the decision that real security outweighs the political delusion of peace and light.
I said allow, not require. I’m not against armed security, but a single security person may not be enough to stop or mitigate such an event. You would likely not get many takers in the blue cities.
That is an insult to the over 7.6 million concealed weapon permit holders in this country.
