[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me start out by saying I would have no problem banning AR-15s.  Let me also say that I don't think it's the solution liberals think it is.

What I see here is similar to what I saw in the church shooting - that government failed to stop these individuals from getting a weapon in the first place. Cruz was known to both the school and to the FBI. He stated he wanted to shoot up a school. That clearly wasn't an alarm bell to FBI. See something, say something, failed.

We can argue gun control until we are blue in the face. What I'm after in this thread, is the where the security failures are at the LOCAL level and what can be done to prevent future attacks.

We saw with Lanza, he failed to legally procure a gun. He tried. The system worked. Instead he killed his mother, and took hers. She failed to see the danger. He then had to shoot off a lock (from what I understand) to gain entry to the school. There was no officer at the door to stop him - to even give him pause. By the time officers DID get there, children were massacred. Sitting ducks so to speak.

Cruz waltzed right into the school, despite what the school is calling 'tight security'. Unless the officer on premise was killed at the only point of entry (per the superintendent), we can assume the officer was not at that point of entry. The football coach who was deemed security, was left unarmed and protected kids with his own body, and subsequently his life.

I know of a lot of veterans who would like to volunteer their time to help guard those entries. I know of a lot of teachers who either are already trained -  or would like to train - to carry concealed within the schools.  Instead, there is shouting about disarming these law-abiding citizens. I maintain we just SAW what happened to a disarmed population (gun-free zone).

Please tell me logical reasons as to why we cannot, on a local level, move to protect our schools. [/quote]

No money.  The schools cannot afford pencils and up to date computers but you want armed guards?  Who is going to pay for the training and mental health checks of these volunteer veterans to guard or schools?  [/quote]

But they can educate illegal alien kids by the millions. They find the money for that.

I can already tell you that the NRA would train these folk - and do it well. If you've been to an NRA range, you'll know of what I speak. If a teacher is teaching in a public school, there are already supposed to be checks in place. If there are not, that's another failure.[/quote]
I'd rather have stricter gun control and the NRA pay for more teachers/supplies.  Thanks.[/quote]

I don't think the NRA is going to pay for the education of illegal students. Thanks.[/quote]
