My perspective on this is that if the State or Feds want to leave a school defenseless in direct contradiction to the 2nd amendment they should be held liable. Those who restrict us from defending ourselves should be held liable for not protecting us. The Constitution specifically states that the Fed is to “provide for the common defense” and if they take away our individual abilities they defend ourselves they should be held accountable for not doing so.

Yes, but them being liable translates to the state being liable (since they were acting on behalf of the state) and hence the taxpayers foot the bill while the party responsible for the decision walks away scott free. Given civil service protections, doubt they would even lose their job.

The courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly held that Law Enforcement is unable to prevent every murder or mass killing, nor do they have the obligation to do so!

Hello??!!??

Exactly. The gov’t schools are not quick learners - they had the same situation in CO and VA and did nothing - and after this in CT - they are talking about more gun control! They are doing the exact opposite of what should have been already done.

This is what happens ‘when the know it alls’ ignore the Law of The Land. Same with the illegals. Same with obamacare. The results of that is still to be seen - other than what we know already. Many businesses are going to part time or closing. More unemployment. More robberies? Now back to the guns. In a circle of destruction.
