Yes Eddie and when the bullets started flying one so called warden was conspicuous by his absence.

Maybe the right to bear arms should be limited to weapons available in 1776.

If true then it has taught us something. That whenever one thin someone has reached the depth of stupidity, one finds there will always be be many times over that depth still to drop. But that's modern authorities all over.

Truly shocking - never mind the complete shift in what type of person would go into teaching and how many potentially great teachers wouldn't.

I feel alarmed when I go to the airport or Wimbledon* and there are armed policemen. I don't want to see them in schools.

*William, Kate and the PM were all there on that day. Who were they meant to be protecting?

Seems reasonable to me.

The USA is awash with guns. A conservatI've estimate is circa 400 mil of them. It makes sense given recent events for teachers to be tooled up however sad that may be. If it saves just one life it is worth it.
