Armed guards at schools makes eminent sense. And, if I'm not mistaken, the Gun Free Zones legislation needn't be amended to accommodate that approach, so you don't have to go to Congress for that.RaceBannon said:

I assume this is also not a big deal for school budgets. -
Stephen Wright would ask how can you enforce a gun free zone without a gun?
I always thought the law was symbolic more than anything. Shouldn't be an issue -
the stay out zone better not be symbolic - have I kept away from Drug Free Zones for years for naught?

Of all the political rhetoric I've seen these days - and like everyone I've seen a lot - one of the more head scratchers was the Gun Free Zone stuff.RaceBannon said:Stephen Wright would ask how can you enforce a gun free zone without a gun?

I think the idea is that if you're caught with a gun within some radius of a school, the judgments get worse. The rhetoric, of course, is that bad guys don't obey the law and nobody obeying the law will be armed to deal with them. Alright.
But the law exempts, I think, police. Off-duty and retired are, I think, not exempt, and that was probably an unintended consequence of statute drafting - don't know.
The main idea is obvious, and then you don't have that exposure if there are armed people there to deal with a threat.
Arming teachers and random other school officials - sorry, I've been a pretend lawyer too fucking long and know better. What could go wrong?
- Johnny Football Player on a bad meth trip gets the gun out of Mrs. McEnhenny's hands and shoots someone.
- Mrs. Johnson forgets to lock her drawer one recess and Mikey and Bobby go snooping around and accidentally fire off a round and kill the janitor.
- Mr. Smith, a nice shop teacher, thinks he's a Solider of Fortune guy until the shit hits the fan and we find out he's better suited to the wood planer than dealing with a maniac and winds up shooting someone else.
There are no guarantees in life. I know that. But I like my chances better with a trained person who takes his job seriously and routinely practices shooting.
Maintaining possession of a gun safely, and shooting it well under pressure, are not as simple and as straightforward as people think. At least that's what my pretend-cop friends tell me.
I want my kid's math teacher focusing on teaching them math. That's what they decided to be good at. Let them be that, and hire someone who wants to guard human life.

Funny you say that. As I was typing my Tequilla response, Mr. Hand came to mind too.YellowSnow said:
