Are we going to hear the White Hispanic bullshit again? You DIMMS preach hatred all week long, and then pretend to be surprised by it.

Since everyone knows we can't ban all guns in the US, there are things we could do to make schools safer: .. First, spend tax money to hire and pay more uniformed security personnel at every public school in the state. There are plenty of unemployed veterans and off-duty police officers who would be perfect candidates if the state made a serious investment in this regard. Second, mandate and fund the training of a handful of willing staff members at every school, giving us access and authority to use deadly force to protect children and young adults in our charge. Third, mandate and fund the installation of lockdown doors and entrances, limiting access to all school buildings to one main entrance, controlled by surveillance-equipped office personnel. Do these steps turn our schools into armed forts? I don’t really care. If it means tragedies averted and lives saved, so be it. It’s money well spent while we haggle over safety locks and waiting periods. When I walk into my local courthouse I am funneled through the one entrance accessible to the public, and immediately see uniformed, armed security present and visible. On any given day, there are plenty of defense-trained personnel walking through those halls. Why? Because we believe our civil servants are worthy of protection from violent threat. Aren’t our children worthy of the same? themaven.net
