Save the innocents! Arm all teachers!
Another tragic failure of a stupid policy ("gun-free" zones) has just been enacted in Connecticut. When will the "educators" ever learn? Innocent kids are dying to uphold Leftist ideology that everything can be fixed by laws and regulations. In Israel teachers are armed. Why not in America? Both countries face similar evils, as the current example should make clear
The tragic murders Friday at the Sandy Hook Elementary School break the heart of every American, and that includes gun owners. Those of us who belong to the 47 percent of families who have a gun in the home for self defense are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandparents aunts and uncles who think of our own little ones as we mourn the terrible scenes from Newtown, Conn.
It is human nature to want to find someone or something to blame for a tragedy like this. Parents want to find a way to prevent it from happening to their own children. The horror of a man so deranged that he could shoot a small child is almost impossible to understand or to accept. However, those who use this tragedy to call for more gun-control laws are misguided.
As I write this, the initial reports say that the alleged killer bought his guns legally. He used an ordinary handgun and one of the most popular types of rifle
The Sandy Hook school was a gun-free zone, meaning Mr. Lanza knew that no one could shoot back when he entered the school or the classroom where his mother taught. The shooting in July in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. was also in a gun-free zone. Rather than engaging in yet another debate about the Second Amendment, perhaps we should be discussing whether security is enhanced or weakened by not allowing a school to be armed for self defense.
Dick Heller, who sued the District of Columbia for the right to keep a gun at home, emailed me today about the shooting. “Just like in DC, there are ‘sensitive’ areas, ‘vulnerable’ areas where politicians know security is needed,” the Washington security guard explained to me. “Yet they still intentionally disarm everyone -- sometimes even the ‘security’ staff -- and create an inviting environment for criminals, the domestic violence-prone, and terrorists.” Had one guard had a firearm in either Colorado or Connecticut, there is a good chance lives would have been saved.
No law can stop a criminal hell-bent on killing. When a person determined to do harm cannot get a gun legally, he will obtain it illegally. Even if the 100 million guns in America were rounded up and thrown into the ocean, there will still be deranged killers. In Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols used simple fertilizer to kill 168 people, including 19 children under the age of six in 1995.
In gun-free Japan in 2008, a former school janitor stabbed eight children to death in their elementary school. In 1927, Bath Township, Mich. was home to the worst school killing in history. The school's treasurer used bombs made with dynamite and pyrotol to kill 38 elementary school children. We can’t outlaw fertilizer or explosives or knives. Even if we did, the deranged would just find another way to kill.
Murder is already illegal. So is assaulting a child. We have enough laws. What we lack today is the power to overcome evil.

ReplyDeleteOf course they are, they are in a constant state of possible war.
Arm all teachers who prove emotionally stable enough for it, get rid of the rest, anyway. Look, some liberals are completely against guns, but not for the reasons they present. The real reason is they know THEY shouldn't have them, thus assuming no one else should either. And, for my part, I think those self-right rescinding people are correct. I have always consider Manson to be the true final evolution for liberals, although the tack might be slightly different, the results aren't.
ReplyDeleteJust a matter of time before the conservative idiots crawled out from beneath their rocks to proclaim we need: more guns, guns in school, get rid of the leftist teachers and put gun toting individuals In front of the kids, make everyone afraid a mass murderer is hiding around every corner ready to strike,
ReplyDeleteI understand you guys have always been tunnelvisioned idiots. But can you at least wait until the nation has gotten over the shock of this event before you start beating the "more guns in school is the answer" bullshit, Your rhetoric shows poor timing, poor taste, and quite frankly is both shallow In thinking and offensive to most of us who have the ability to consider options beyond further proliferation of guns in our schools.
