Let's get on the same page. I am not advocating any legislation. I am not against having an armed guard inside a school. What I do advocate is perimeter security as the first line of defense against these nuts.

Even if the nut got past the first line, which would not happen if it were well designed, it would slow him down so the armed guard would have warning and time to act. At that point he could stop the nut at the door. I want to avoid having a shoot out inside the school. Doesn't that make sense?

An entire country is in shock as we continue to watch the funerals of these innocent children and adults in Connecticut.

It is sickening even to rank them in this way, to admit that there have been so many as to require it, but it is true: yet another child has killed yet more children in cold blood.
