Well look.. a town in a heavy "blue" state plans on putting armed security in schools.
*************************************
The mayor of Marlboro Township in New Jersey said Friday there would be armed security guards at the district's nine schools starting in January

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/marlboro-new-jersey-armed-guards-schools-newtown-nra-reaction-184514471.html

On the same day the National Rifle Association spoke publicly for the first time since last week's elementary school massacre in Connecticut, one local school district announced plans to place armed police officers in every school.

The mayor of Marlboro Township in New Jersey said Friday there would be armed security guards at the district's nine schools starting in January.

"This is not such a major change-- we're not putting in SWAT teams," said Mayor Jon Hornik.

"Just like what happened on 9/11-- air travel changed," he said. "In my opinion last Friday, school security changed, and you can sit by and hope that it doesn't happen at your school or you can take action."

Ron Paul: NRA plan to put armed guards in schools is not the solution Well seeing hows you've posted this twice. But I BET, you didn't even take one second to read what he thinks is the answer. In a letter posted on his website, Paul admonished both sides of the aisle for being too quick to ask for legislation to prevent gun violence in schools. “Many Americans believe that if we simply pass the right laws, future horrors like the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting can be prevented,” he wrote. “But this impulse ignores the self evident truth that criminals don’t obey laws.” “Government role is to protect liberty, not to pursue unobtainable safety,” he wrote. LOL gotta love Liberal sites, Ron Paul basically called Liberals morons, while admitting that the NRA's idea is crazy. Ron Paul believes there's nothing we can or should do. Because the real answer, nobody wants to hear. We need decency laws, and the return of the moral police. Out side of that, all we can do, is watch the Rome implode with out making it worse.

Ron Paul (R-Texas) spoke out on Monday against trying to solve gun violence with government legislation — even legislation like the National Rifle Association’s plan to place armed guards in every school in the country. In a letter posted on his website, Paul admonished both sides of the aisle for being too quick to ask for legislation to prevent gun violence in schools. “Many Americans believe that if we simply pass the right laws, future horrors like the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting can be prevented,” he wrote. “But this impulse ignores the self evident truth that criminals don’t obey laws.” Paul criticized the Left for rushing to call for harsher gun control. He then took a swing at conservatives — and the NRA — for falling into the same trap of asking for more legislation in the form of school guards. “While I certainly agree that more guns equals less crime and that private gun ownership prevents many shootings, I don’t agree that conservatives and libertarians should view government legislation, especially at the federal level, as the solution to violence,” Paul wrote. The Congressman stressed that government policies cannot solve the problems of American society and only succeed in limiting the freedoms of Americans in the name of ‘safety.’ “Government role is to protect liberty, not to pursue unobtainable safety,” he wrote. Paul is not alone in his denouncement of the NRA plan. Liberals and conservatives alike have criticized the organization’s strategy, especially in light of the looming fiscal cliff. The NRA plan is estimated to cost the federal government billions of dollars. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also said he didn’t support the plan. “I am not someone who believes that having multiple armed guards in every school is something that will enhance the learning environment,” Gov. Chris Christie said last week. “You don’t want to make this an armed camp for kids.”

You mean impulsive, emotional, knee-jerk, immediate legislation won't work. . 121212 says “But this impulse ignores the self evident truth that criminals don’t obey laws.” Criminals don't obey laws, like the Webster Firefighter shooter?? 121212 says “While I certainly agree that more guns equals less crime and that private gun ownership prevents many shootings, Why would he agree with FBI facts and data?? 121212 says He then took a swing at conservatives — and the NRA — for falling into the same trap of asking for more legislation in the form of school guards. Yep, trying to appeal to the "emotions" and not logic. 121212 says “Government role is to protect liberty, not to pursue unobtainable safety,” he wrote. Why is that, because you can't legislate mentally deranged people??

Until our nation changes into one that takes care of mentally ill and finds a way to improve it's moral values that is the best we can do. More needs to be done, but who knows what politicians will actually will do. Left is talking about a gun ban, which would be stupid and a step in a wrong direction.
