Could Have Saved Them

Students at that Ft. Lauderdale school where a bunch of students died when a man came in and shot them down, are demonstrating AGAINST a measure that could have saved them. The legislature is considering ALLOWING teachers who already have “concealed carry” permits to bring their guns to school with them. These students are convinced that armed teachers would not have made a difference. I guess they have bought the anti-gun fool line that teachers, if allowed to be armed in school, would “go wild” and start shooting up the place, which is, as usual, WRONG. Teachers are, by the very nature of their jobs, responsible people, while those students are not. Not yet, anyway. They think the responding cops might shoot an armed teacher by mistake, and that gives the cops less respect than they deserve. Those armed teachers would not be firing at the cops. They would be firing in the other direction, and the cops can tell the difference. They’re not the dunces the anti-gun fools think they are. I don’t much like the language this writer used at one point in his article, but for the most part, this article is “right on.” (Gun Free Zone)
