How about select teachers who have military experience or are hunters or gun safety teachers be made official School Marshals. They could earn a few extra bucks and not cost as much as an official full time armed guard. There is little chance of an armed guard being where needed anyway.
Hell, I would volunteer to be a school guard once a week if it meant I could get out of work without risk of being fired.
Go one step further: they “deputize” retirees to be crossing guards. Why not arm those volunteers, many of whom are pillars of their communities and often retired vets, and allow them to be on the school property full time as volunteers?
We need to take the fight of incrementalism back to the liberals. They’ve incrementally scaled back the Constitution over the years, we need to incrementally bring it back to the front of the public discussion.
Traditional American values and the Constitution should be at the forefront of every honest civic discussion. We are NOT like the rest of the world because we wanted to be different. We should not be shying away from that, we should be embracing our heritage.
The treasonous bastards in DC need to realize that they’re part of this experiment to keep it going, not to turn us into Europe West.
It should not be generally known who or how many “School Marshals” are at each school. Make it similar to the air marshals.
I hear you but, we'd have never heard of Sandy Hook Elementary School if not for the idiotic notion of a "gun-free zone."
Anyone itching to ban something should focus on THAT.
