You can tell they are politicizing the situation when their solution does not solve the problem.
Here is a legislative proposal:
Let the teachers at each school decide if they want to arm. Couple this with school vouchers so parents can decide if they want their kids going to an armed school or gun free school. If teachers do not want to arm then parents should be allowed to volunteer.
Great platform for 2014!
On Friday, a heavily armed young man walked into a Connecticut elementary school and murdered 20 first-graders and six adults before he killed himself. Even in a country inured to gun violence, this crime is too heinous to contemplate.
Now the question is: Does Washington pass a bad law just to do something, anything, even something that doesn't enhance public safety?
I write this as a former assault-weapons ban supporter, who observed that the 1994 federal assault-weapons ban, which expired in 2004, didn't reduce gun violence in America. Nor, apparently, did Connecticut's assault-weapons ban, passed in 1993 and still in force....
I especially like the volunteer parent idea!
ENCOURAGE more armed employees.
the more armed school employees,the harder it is to attack such a place,and the less likely it will occur.
Permit holders have established a SUPERB record in EVERY sate that issues such permits.
THEY are not any danger or problem.
There are a huge number of CCW holders in the US (20M?) and there is essentially NO misuse.
I am perfectly prepared to trust teachers that go get a CCW. Now, if they would just shut up about politics and teach reading, writing and arithmetic.
