>>>>Riiight. Well if the NRA had their way there would also be armed guards in all the schools. And hey why not? Lot of schools have metal detectors and razor wire fences - so might as well be SURE the kids feel like they're in a jail when they go to school. Of course this all makes more sense than...ya know...doing ANYTHING that might result in keeping the guns out of criminals hands or being able to track where guns end up.

>>>Victor, Victor... You do not understand the issue quite well! Armed guards in schools?? That is NOT enough! Teachers, Janitors and every other school worker should be carrying guns, Do You really want your school safe or not?

>>Don't forget the schoolchildren themselves. Concealed carry for kids in school, that's part of a comprehensive solution. It will put an end to schoolyard bullying and help prepare the students for the society they will live in. Consider this my modest proposal.
