I do not want Israel style gun laws.

What I posted was that the Israel law requiring teachers be armed worked for forty years, even when surrounded by human trash such as assorted, sordid Koranimals and nutters like the Palisimians.

Armed societies are peaceful societies.

Know Arms - Know Peace

No Arms - No Peace

Quite simple, really.

We’ve all seen the photo with the cute Israeli school teacher herding her wards with a rifle slung over her shoulder.

What the photo doesn’t tell you is that military service is compulsory in Israel and that cute teacher has had years of experience and training in the use of firearms. She knows how and when to use the firearm and has learned the discipline and the discernment to use it wisely. Not only has she had extensive military training in firearms, but she likely is required to continue training in order to keep her license.

We’re not going to take raw, pie in the sky college graduates or 60 year old Miss Prussies and force them through similar rigorous training so they can carry responsibly like Israel teachers do. And if they don’t have the proper training or undertake the training very reluctantly, that’s a disaster in the making.

I maintain that the best solution to stop mass school killings is to fortify schools in the same way that courthouses and many other government buildings are fortified (with armed guards, bullet proof windows and other physical alterations that make it impossible for an armed citizen to enter or get very far).
