Allow teachers to arm themselves.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the people of Sandy Hook Elementary. We all feel sorrow and express our sympathy for their losses. The question is always asked how can we prevent this from happening again?
The gun-grabbers will exploit this tragedy for their own agenda. They wish to totally disarm the American public. This is one half of the European solution. The other half is to institutionalize the mentally ill against their will. That is why Europe does not have a problem with homelessness. However Europe still has a problem with violent crime. We are not Europe.
I propose an American solution to make another school shooting less likely. Allow teachers to arm themselves. This would be on a volunteer basis. Conceal Carry Laws of the state always apply. An armed teacher should be trained to a higher standard than Conceal Carry. Local Police and private security companies could be used for this training and require practice to keep the skill levels high. There are many details to be managed here. Such a system should be done at the state and local level.
The Gun Free Zone policy is a failure. It has killed more people than it has saved. The cowards who use guns against the innocent and defenseless must be stopped. They will be less likely to start shooting in a situation where their is a chance they could face an armed citizen. Gun Free Zones tell these cowards they will be unopposed. They are certain no one else will be armed. We can remove that certainty.
