Mark Steyn says that a federal schoolhouse security force that puts an armed guard in each school will be a bureaucratized nightmare and that he believes it’s better for a school district to appoint someone who will assume that role. Because as he points out, the right people for the job are already at these schools.
He also makes the point that it took police 20 minutes to get to Sandy Hook Elementary, saying no one will be there for you when the world goes bust which is why you need to be able to fully defend yourself whether it’s at school or anywhere for that matter.
He makes other great points as well, including why the 2nd amendment isn’t just about your right to bear arms.
If one of the teachers had had a gun in the trunk of their car that day in Newtown, Connecticut, would they have run out to the parking lot to get it?
I think they would have tried.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them."- Galileo Galilei
Arizona AG has proposed a policy in line with Steyn's thinking.
Arizona's Attorney General has proposed a program to train one person at each school in the state to use a firearm in an effort to minimize the risk of a repetition of the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
Tom Horne introduced a proposal Wednesday that would allow a school principal or designated staff member to have access to a secured firearm on school grounds and receive training in the use of firearms and emergency management. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12/...hool-employees/
