Let's ban the entire concept of gun bans. I don't ever want to hear about another person placed in the untenable situation of the adults in Sandy Hook Elementary School. The principal, Dawn Hochsprung, was forced by circumstances to charge an armed lunatic with nothing but her bare hands and the purest courage to try to save her children... and she died unsuccessful because there were laws in place that made it ILLEGAL for her to be properly equipped to do her job.
They don't have school shootings in Israel: the teachers are armed.
Instead of the same boring, leftist-agenda-driven reaction we have always had, why don't we try something that actually works? Arm the teachers and the administrators of every school. Imagine how different the outcome would have been in Newtown CT.
I'm sure there are going to be some school personnel who won't want to CCW, or who won't qualify. That's fine. But there should be a significant number of them in each school, and they should be paid, by the school district, to visit a range regularly and keep their skills sharp. It's a more effective investment in safety than passing more laws for the criminal and insane to ignore.
