Every building would be a huge start.

I;m guessing you haven't been around many colleges. Even at the smaller ones the students tend to be spread out at so many different buildings that it is not practical to hire a separate guard for each one.

Even if there was a rule that a guard was only required when there were at least 100 students in one building, it still would not be financially or logistically possible for most colleges to cover all the students with guards 24/7.

What gets me is how so many Jews are involved in the gun control movement.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Honestly, I don’t understand how any Jew could be a liberal. The Liberal/Marxist hate Israel.

Maybe guilt? Or, a death wish?

FWIW, I just completed a college course here in Michigan and each class I attended I had my KAHR MK-9 semi-auto in my shoulder bag.

Firearm is legally registered and I have a CPL permit.

Unfortunately the state law prohibits me from carrying a firearm into the classroom but I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.............

That was a chance I was willing to take in order to insure both my safety and the safety of my fellow students and instructor..........

If a100 students a day were gunned down on camuses around the country it would not remotely justify allowing guns on campus for liberals. If several bunches of professors get shot, it still won’t justify guns on campus in the hands of students or faculty but will call for every campus to have its own SWAT.

Unfortunately real life will need to smack liberals in the head repeatedly before they wise up.

Many innocents will die in the process.

I’ve been around enough college campuses including big ones - all the Big 10 schools with big endowments who ought to be able to afford hiring 50-100 guards.

Have anyone ever thought that maybe college administrations DON’T CARE if the students live or die, and maybe even get off vicariously on the carnage?

Well, at least you have.

I think that's a stretch.

When I shot that guy at work, the cops didn’t care if the gun was even mine.

Huh? Care to expand on that?

It should be demanded that each college beef up thier inept security force with new inovative ways to protect the student population such as armed undercover personel posing as students. We certainly pay through the nose for education, they should provide the saftey.

Shot a guy in self-defense. When the cops got their they did not even check the gun or ask if it was mine. The KNEW the guy, having had him at the station for questioning about ANOTHER assualt on a woman. Thank God I did not become his victim. Just a couple of days before, he had thrown another woman across the room, and threatened the owner’s wife... and was not fired. Go figure.

So am I. The GUY was not alright though. Thank God. Served him right. Women, especially white women, are open targets in LA, especially at work where we are not wanted.... by liberal men. Usually a gay or minority creep. So much for white male oppression.

"How many students have to die?

That’s easy.

All of them."

Har! Beat me to it. Your average bureaucrat would be able to make this decision in about, oh, 1/1000th of a second.

I would agree with that, though you graduated a few months before I was born.

If I wanted to visit my old high school, I’d have to have an appointment with somebody to get in the school. They also have metal detectors at both main points of entry, the auditorium side and main entrance. It’s crazy
