We have armed guards protecting banks; no one says that it is ridiculous or that seeing them could harm the sensibilities of our young.
We have armed guards protecting art work; no one says that it is ridiculous or that seeing them could harm the sensibilities of our young.
We see armed guards protecting businesses; no one says that it is ridiculous or that seeing them could harm the sensibilities of our young.
Yet when it comes to protecting those who are more precious than money or assets; we are told armed guards or teachers is absurd and ridiculous and could cause psychological harm to our students. Why is that?
It's almost as moronic an argument as claiming that voting machines cannot accurately count votes when we can stuff an ATM full of cash and trust that it can count various types of bills accurately and deposit it into our bank accounts.
I think this is more evidence of how little the left cares about children and keeping them safe. Instead, much like their idiotic solutions to everything is money, they think it would be better to leave them unprotected and just ban guns.

Who will pay for it? The cost will run into seven billion a year at least.

I am amused by the notion that the cost is prohibitive. Are the lives of our children not worth as much as money, art or assets? How much do you think it would cost? Have you run a cost analysis? How much would it cost to have a couple of armed security guards and signs posted that they are at the school on patrol? How much to have police make extra patrols around schools during the week?

If you think $13.3 billion, with a Federal budget of over $4 trillion, is too much to protect our children, you have your head up your arse. I don't know if you comprehend this, but you are making my case here.
So for about half a billion dollars in initial investment, and a total of about $13.3 billion in additional expenses every year, we can get our kids much better protected than they currently are. And the numbers are likely to get lower if we focus on this issue as a society, improving metal detectors and other technology that can keep the kids safe.

WASHINGTON
The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.
FBI counterintelligence investigators have focused on the activities of Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank who is known for his close relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA, the sources said.
It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections.

I was going to not thread ban anyone; but I will remember to make the ONE exception to this rule in the future. Life is too short for DeshTard's lunacy.

Interesting how now the gun issue has now switched to arming teachers, does that mean cops will be teaching soon?
A teacher's job is difficult enough and now the right supposedly wants them to pack, does this mean the State Certification requirement for a teaching degree now has to include gun training? Who's going arm these packing teachers? What kind of weapons are they suppose to pack? What teachers pack? Does anyone want guns floating around classrooms? Point being it is not just a question of handing a gun to a teacher and telling them to get ready for an assault
There are three elements of any shooting; the shooter, the target, and the vehicle that makes it all possible. We can not get into the head of all the potential shooters out there, nor no matter how many barriers we build we can never adequately protect the target since we don't know what it is, which means there is only one good approach to limiting shootings, remove the vehicle that makes it possible, or at least make that tool and type of tool difficult to obtain
Really not all that difficult
