(487 posts)I have no respect for the NRA or the GOP, BUT you should love them. They controlled all three branches of the government and didn't take the opportunity to rescind all the gun laws and restore the 2nd Amendment to it's virgin state. Instead they wrote more gun laws!!!
As to guns at school. Yes, we need the National Guard to start riding our school buses for pick up and return, and being at the schools all day long for their security. This protection should have occurred 32 years ago, and you can see the carnage that has occurred since.
Besides armed guards, each school needs to be secured with fencing & razor wire, turn style gates, cameras, metal detectors, ground sensors on the perimeter, safe vaults with communicating equipment in classrooms, electronic door locks, bullet proof windows, electric window shades.
You see folks, it is OK to do this at the airport for the elite, or government buildings and congress, and some corporations for the power players, but we can't do it to protect the children?? You are as insane as the shooters if you think in your wildest imagination taking away a few select rifles is going to stop the child blood shed in American schools. Absolutely nuts!! If we can afford trillion dollar wars, we can afford Cadillac schools for child safety. Most of it will be one time expenses, limited maintenance, and having the National Guard. They don't have to be dressed in uniforms, or display weapons. Razor wire doesn't have to be as visible at the top of fencing, and the idea you are creating prison, LOL, no we are creating a safe sanctuary for children.
