Newtown Sides with NRA: Votes for Armed Guards In Schools

[sailingaway]

I prefer permitting teachers and administrators to go armed, not turning a campus into a prison, particularly since the 'designated' guards can be avoided more easily than unknown concealed carry teachers and administrators. But it is for Newtown to decide.

The NRA also supports permitting administrators to be trained and armed.

What is to keep a kid from getting his/her hands on a teachers gun? Teachers screw up, I think private contractors would do the trick (ex mil or otherwise) whose only purpose is to meet an (alleged) lanza esque threat with lethal force. Of course, there are contingencies to be worked out. One, that immediately comes to mind, is that the contract should specify that agents are not there to provide general security and only to intervene in life or death cases involving the use of a firearm. Not fights, not smoking in the boys room, perhaps not even stabbings.

Good for em. This move would have actually prevented the Newton shooting and not the "common sense" regulation they are talking about in Washington

My take would be that if you live in a school district where they need private armed military contractors to patrol the hall, you really need to move. And if you can't afford to, then you need to home school your child.

The solution to all of this is homeschooling. That is why guns at school, while a good idea, is not the ultimate solution.

Make any teacher volunteering to do this go through mandatory training. Problem solved.

If people are getting stabbed I think that's serious enough for security to get involved, otherwise why the crap do we have them?
