The idea of creating a secure defensive cordon around a school is tough -- too many buildings, too much movement.  You can have some security, but it's going to be highly imperfect.

I am a gun owner but I've come to believe that the AR15 (and similar guns) are a big part of the problem -- they feed in to this commando fantasy of these disturbed young men.

I am willing to compromise on that as a gun owner.  I am comfortable defending my home and family with a shotgun (I am in a city -- a rifle would do fine in the country), and a pistol.

btw, the NRA does offer GREAT gun training.   But you cannot rely on having a qualified gun owner with the bravery (which you cannot really test) to be in the right place to stop tragedy.  It may actually help, and I don't have a problem putting more guns in schools in qualified hands, and that may help.

Our country is in a state of paralysis based on hard ideological divides and special interest cash.

There is a reason Sanders and Trump did so well in the last election cycle.  Voters are wanting away out of this paralysis.  But it seems that the power of the vote is not enough.

Increasingly, we are living in a country that is controlled by special interest cash.   [/quote]

OP here. Tough but doable. The NRA has offered in the past to train and pay for that training. The left turned that option down. Much like with immigration, they are showing that they are not willing to compromise.

And yes, I'm willing to sacrifice the AR-15 or put special limits on it like we did fully automatic weaponry in the 30s.

The point of arming some within the schools means that those schools are no longer soft targets.[/quote]
