It's time to arm the teachers and staff at schools
Of course the lefties are going to say this is why America needs gun control. However, I think it's time to arm our teachers and staff at our schools. (Or just have more police presence at schools.)
My reasoning is simple, if you know your teacher/principle/police officer is packing heat, there is less likely someone is going to pull a trigger and kill someone. If they still have the inclination to pull the trigger, the teacher can take appropriate action by use of force.
Now of course we'd have to train these people how to properly use their weapon, but I think in the long run, events like these can be stopped.
Now for all you anti-gun advocates, if law abiding citizens don't have the right to arm themselves, the criminals will continue to wrecklessly kill and injure people. Nothing will change as anyone can go into a school and wave their gun around, threaten and then kill. Criminals will still have guns in their possession, whether legal or not. This ultimately gives the edge to the criminal in any situation.
However, if the second grade teacher down the hall has a piece, the criminal can be stopped in his tracks and no vicious crime would be committed.
Just a thought...too bad the Left likes arming criminals and disarming lawful citizens.
