I would love to see a federal law requiring armed guards to be employed at every school - public and private (especially Christian schools). I have spoken to many retired police officers and military vets, who have said they would be more than happy to stand guard at their local school. Some say they would do it for free! There would need to be extensive background checks on these individuals - to make sure they are safe and qualified for the job, of course.
I do not believe teachers should be required to be armed, as that would possibly distract from their teaching and many teachers have already claimed they do not want to carry firearms in class. But this would not be a problem if we had dedicated armed security.
If our corrupt, slimy politicians in DC get armed security, then our most innocent and most targeted deserve armed security too.
Private schools more than likely can find the funds to hire these guards themselves, public schools may have a harder time. To that extent, I would be more than happy - as an American citizen - to fund the protection of our children. Iād much rather protect our own than fund proxy wars on the other side of the globe.
