I will tell you honestly that I don't want to live in a world with corruption like this. I wish that I could close my eyes and it would just go away. The only reason why I ever pick something like this apart is that I see blatant evidence of corruption. I also see that the government is using this as a catalyst to further their attack on the 2nd Amendment
Amen to all that! I'm glad someone has resources to dig into Gov't actions, but I would think there would be richer sources to expose than Sandy Hook. Don't let that slow you down; seriously, do what you feel you must.
and i can tell you that America is not going to stand for it. We have too many patriots in this country. They need to back this thing off and open up the discussion to all options to protect the people. Instead their just trying to ram through legislation to restrict law abiding citizens, which makes no sense.
I wish I could agree that "America isn't going to stand for it." I'm sort of watching this whole thing like a rubbernecker at the side of a roadside accident.
I live right next to Camden, NJ which is a city where citizens are not allowed to carry. Their crime is through the roof, those poor people like in constant fear for their lives and it's not fair to them.
I had a HS sweetheart who lived in Camden, roughly '79 - '83ish. Unforgettable gal. Camden wasn't that bad back then, sorry to hear of the state of affairs.
The criminals literally run the streets because they do not follow the law. I have no idea why so many people seem to be against willing teachers to get trained and carry concealed. We have trusted them for so long, all of a sudden they can't be trusted?
Because idiotic statements like "you people think the answer to everything is MOAR GUNZ"

are seen as respectable. Seriously. I
do think teachers need to prove they can be trusted on a merit basis before being along to carry at work, by some combination of stable work history and demonstrated gun proficiency. I also think measures need to be taken to ensure no student gains control of a weapon, via a combination of not knowing which teachers carry, and a secondary feature like perhaps a trigger lock with the key hidden, or something. I can;t see the need for a teacher being "quick on the draw." The whole purpose is for any potential crazed shooter knowing a school is not a turkey shoot, and he will encounter legitimate resistance. If even just 1/3 of school staff were carrying, the response time would be so improved over a call to the Police as to make the problem disappear.
Talk about a way that would have such a minimal impact costwise since the teachers are already being paid to be there, no additional salaries for security officers. Security officers and cops in schools only makes the school seem like a prison, where concealed carry teachers would not really change the mood. I would think that parents would actually feel better knowing its in the hands of teachers that they have grown to trust over the years. Bring in security guards who knows, you would be surprised how many of those professional security guards end up getting arrested at one point.
Even better would be to implement this
along with the NRA's proposal, which is cost-free planning and training. Even though they suggested armed guards on a volunteer basis, they did specifically mention that each individual school could still benefit from their plan if they opted against that item of it. And back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in HS, security guards in HS did no good at all; they were as afraid of the violence as anybody else.
My God I hope I never have to see another school massacre. If anything is going to happen I would rather the headline read "Man with a gun kicks in front door of school, killed within a minute by two teachers".

And this is the best defensive use of a gun imaginable, because none of our mass shooters would've put themselves in that position. I'm not ready to think that the obviousness of this means that our Gov't staged the Sandy Hook massacre, I just think they really are so messed up and outright stupid as to not realize how easy the solution really is. Maybe I'm wrong and you're right?
