“This is all so wrong. That school should NOT have armed guards. The liberal, leftist Democrats do not want that and I agree with them. Whoever made that decision should be fired.”

I don’t agree with you; nevertheless, Columbine HAD an armed guard on duty in 1999, who apparently had little skill with a weapon. He might have been able to save lives.

Oops, linked to an ultra-leftist site. Sorry about that. Bet the comment will be yanked.

Look it up to confirm if you need. Neil Gardner was the guard.

As a matter of fact, whoever wants armed guards at the schools in a gun-free zone should be imprisoned for life or shot on the spot. </s> How do you like that?

No - MMTU is correct. What should be implemented is the full restoration of our Right under the Second Amendment.

  1. Eliminate the "Gun Free Zone".
  2. Allow lawful concealed carry and open carry if legal.
  3. Provide training and incentives for teachers, staff, and administration for qualification and practice.

I resent the ideas of putting kids in 'compounds', having locking doors on the 'cells'/classrooms, and wandering guards/'security' -- all of that is the equivalent of jail. No thanks! Control overall access at the perimeters, fine, but not inside the building.

Like the guard at Columbine, most lower-echelon cops and security guards only fire their weapons for qualifying; most CCW holders practice more and hit their targets better, and have fewer bystander impacts.

Either we have CCW, or we have armed guards and armed criminals and we will be prey for both!
