Some interesting news has broken in the wake of the latest push for gun control by President Obama and Senate Democrats: Obama sends his kids to a school where armed guards are used as a matter of fact.
The school, Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, has 11 security officers and is seeking to hire a new police officer as we speak.
If you dismiss this by saying, "Of course they have armed guards -- they get Secret Service protection," then you've missed the larger point.
The larger point is that this is standard operating procedure for the school, period. And this is the reason people like NBC's David Gregory send their kids to Sidwell, they know their kids will be protected from the carnage that befell kids at a school where armed guards weren't used (and weren't even allowed).

“Gun-free” schools and malls basically tell the criminal “Don’t worry about getting shot here, as you’ll be the only one with a gun”. But uniformed, open-carry personnel are not the answer either, as they might be ambushed and overpowered and have their weapon taken for criminal use.
A better solution is to allow concealed carry for certain trained and responsible adults in the schools and shops. Criminals aren’t going to feel safe if they don’t know who might shoot back.
Ironically, Sidwell Friends school was founded as a relgious school, by the Quakers - who DID NOT believe in using guns for killing others, and often would not bear arms for that reason and would not serve in the military evoking their rights to avoid the Draft laws because they were "conscious objectors." Quakers believed that guns were only to be used for hunting and protecting one's farm from wild animals.
But today, because the families of students at Sidwell Frends School feel their children are more important than other children in the country - they employ professionals with guns as guards - while they champion the cause to ban guns for others.
At least, according to Obama's mantra of "share the wealth" this school should have to "share the PROTECTION" and some of their guards should be relocated to other schools in the area. After all...it is only "fair!"
Well, of course, Bo, like his mentor Idi Amin, intends to possess all weapons.
Apparently, there are 10,000 armed guards in schools at this time. Of course the mediots and the lefties in charge of our country don’t want this blatant discrimination against kids in unarmed schools out in the open.
Every elite left winger should be challenged to remove the armed guards from the schools their children attend, have no armed guards where they meet in legislative sessions to destroy our constitution, have no personal armed guards/chauffers and surrender any C&C permits and guns they have before enacting new anti second ammendment laws.
