Let's look at flying commercially. The airport perimeter is secure and you have armed sky marshals on board the aircraft.

Let's look at schools. You have a porous perimeter that isn't very secure, even with the doors locked, and you have no armed presence inside.

Are leftists that stupid? Are they so brainwashed that their irrational fear of guns trumps the lives of the children entrusted to their care? This is where the debate needs to start. Schools have no control over external factors such as the mentally ill, violent video games that desensitize, the number of firearms owned by the public, the amount of ammo out there, etc. School administrators only control their respective schools. They need to start thinking in terms of securing their perimeter and having staff available as first responders, because when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Well some maybe. But this is about taking control of everything. They know that if we the people have no guns they can impose their will. Take your property, your wealth, your children, anything. Look at how well it has worked in the past for Germany, Russia, China, anywhere there is oppression.

Let’s frame this correctly. This is a CIVIL RIGHTS issue.
Every time someone suggests that there should be more gun laws, our reply must refer to it as a violation of our CIVIL RIGHTS.

You gotta understand - if this proposal generates any kind of positive feedback, and results in a growing chorus of approval, the Left, not being entirely devoid of cognitive intelligence, would seek to commandeer the discussion, and maintain it was theirs from the start.

Further, if it is going to be done, the newly trained school marshalls (every single one of them) will have to be unionized, much like their TSA brethren.
