    Default Pondering......

    Why, do tell, is it that when some folks suggest effective methods of reducing violence they are silenced? There has been talk lately of arming school employees after the tragedy (continue to pray for the families please) in CT and people are vehemently opposed to this. It works in a certain school district in TX. We allow armored car drivers to carry a gun to protect money (abominable) who go to our schools and universities, yet wil not allow trained individuals to carry and protect our precious children. The liberal mindset is lunacy. It is based on emotion and knee jerk reaction, not logic, statistical fact or reason. These same liberal politicians who want to take guns are themselves protected by armed guards. I cannot afford an armed security team. Neither can my children.

    That only happens if one is driving a Toyota.

    When the agenda is to eliminate as many guns as possible, your suggestion doesn't help the cause. And its in times like these that they are most effective in moving the ball forward as they take the opportunity to push this agenda in the wake of a tragedy while emotions are running high. In the weeks ahead you'll hear a lot about how you don't need this or that to hunt animals and such. You'll hear a great many things but you won't hear much about what we were supposed to be accomplishing with the second amendment. Why don't we push home schooling as hard as this after these tragedies?

    Out of all the discussions about this there have been exactly two ideas that have come out that I personally think have serious merit...

    1. Withhold the name of the Shooters, give them nothing, no infamy just a unmarked grave in potters field (assuming they die)

    2. Off duty police, at every school, perhaps not even visible, perhaps they sit in a back office watch video monitors all day, but they are there.. They can react much faster then anything else, just their pressence and perhaps their patrol car parked out front, is more of a deterrent to trouble then anything else...
    Heck I hired off duty cops at every night club I ran for every busy night we had, it isn't hard to set up...

    Whoops

    The left caught again with it's pants down, do they never ever look at history ??? seems the NRA idea isn't quite so new

    The same "Idea" of putting armed cops in schools that is being berated by the Left was also Clinton's great idea too

    The left is ominously quiet about the fact that federal funding for school security was dropped, quietly, several years back, AND on Barry's watch.
