In response to:
The President should lead the debate to eliminate all gun free zones.
In the wake of Friday's ghastly events in Connecticut, many Americans -- politicians and pundits especially -- have added their voices to the "do something" chorus. This impulse is understandable. It's human. Twenty-six innocent victims are dead, the majority of them precious young children. The desire to help, to act, to fix can be overwhelming. The president, a father of two young girls, has played the role of grief-counselor-in-chief in recent days; at times, he's barely managed to suppress his sadness and maintain his composure during public statements. Pressure is now mounting on him to prominently champion new gun...
some places like courtrooms,prisons,the WH,are reasonably and prudently restricted from general weapons carriage.
But we've already proven FAR too many times that school "gun-free zones" and "gun control"don't work and get people killed. It's time to do something different,like allowing armed teachers and other school employees,once they get their CC permit.
Permit holders are proven to be safe and law-abiding,they have established a SUPERB record in EVERY US state that issues the permits.
And the armed teachers concept is PROVEN to work,as it has in Israel,against PLO terrorists.
