3. The armed guard thing has nothing to do with the ban high count mags thing....

they are not mutually exclusive. His propositions include both things, it seems (I didn't know it included armed guards, though, until your post...is that true?).

In any case, I don't like the idea, either. It'll be very expensive, so I'm wondering if it'll be done for a while, then abandoned later, if the other attempts to lessen mass murder have worked.

Under the circumstances, though, I can understand wanting to do that in these in initial stages after Sandy Hook. There will no doubt be copycats. I don't think it'll harm children's psyche to see armed guards. I just don't think armed guards would be effective, anyway.
