Rejecting the Solution

In the face of sure knowledge that “gun-free zones” not only do NOT keep crazies from coming into those zones to kill people, they actually CAUSE many deaths, schools still insist on keeping their schools as “gun-free zones” while KNOWING that criminals and crazies don’t obey rules OR laws. The solution to the problem, as proven in TWO school shootings since the Sandy Hook killings, somebody ON THE SCENE with a gun can stop mass shootings before they become “mass” shootings. In these two cases, armed “resource officers” (non-uniformed, I hope) were on the scene in ONE MINUTE and put a stop to the shooter’s plans. In these cases it was a “resource officer” who stopped the shooting. Resource officers are expensive, and many schools can’t afford them. So why NOT allow staff who have carry permits and training to be armed at NO COST to the school and are not in a uniform so they can be shot FIRST, by surprise? Too many “stone-headed” school officials disagree. That’s incompetence, but they ARE “in charge.” (Buckeye Firearms Association)
