That was awesome ! I love when you rub anti's their noses in the facts. Most gun banners find it horribly distasteful.

Personally, I believe children's lives are just as worthy of defense as adults'. Guess I don't have much future as a leftist, do I?

Standing Wolf: For the Nth time, "blissninny" and "leftist" are different. Case in point: Me.
Good letter....I've thought for some time now that allowing a few well-trained teachers to carry in school would be a good preventative measure against someone just walking into the building and pulling another Columbine.
I teach in what might be described as an old suburb creeping to urban near DC. Whenever something happens like 9/11 or the snipers, we get very vigilant and go into "lockdown". What these guys at my school don't get, is that because the building is open end to end when we are not in lockdown we're just begging to be a target.
My room is on the ground floor at the back of the building with windows. Oh, on top of that it's near an unlocked exit door......
We have armed "resource officers" on campus, but it's a big building.....

Kudos to the author.
BTW, Microbalrog, the commonality of class between "blissninny" and "leftist" extends only to such extent that the leftist expects government to solve all our problems for us. The pro-freedom aspects of the left are definitely to be appreciated.

MicroB - I give you 5 more years max to remain a leftist. Soon, you too will be a conservative (with a soft heart).

And a couple years after that, he'll get enlightened and become a libertarian.
MicroB- Goodonya for writing letters and confronting anti's with their irrational views. Let us know if you get a reply, it would make for an interesting or amusing read, I'm sure.
I agree heartily with what Norton said. I do social work with middle school kids (not fluffy, huggy liberal social work...more like care about the kids but ultimately let's keep them out of prison and off welfare social work ) and if I could carry at school I would in a heartbeat. I've just been transferred to a new school for the upcoming school year but the school that I was working at before is pretty close to the ghetto and we've had several cases in which there were armed men very near and "lockdown" was initiated. In one case two men had been murdered in broad daylight two blocks away. In another case there was a wanted and visibly armed man running around outside on campus. Luckily we were able to get locked down before he tried to get inside but he could have easily done so had he been a bit more stealthy.
Anyway...Utah is somewhat on the right track. Let the teachers be armed and let it be their own business if they are.
