The answer to this problem is more freedom...not less!

Back when I was a kid people brought guns to school all the time.  A lot of kids had gun racks in their pickups.  We usually brought a shotgun in our vehicles during dove season so we could go dove hunting after school.  Hell if you sold enough sausage and fruit in Ag class you could win a 12ga pump shotgun as the top prize.  The coaches, shop teachers and ag teachers were the same way, they always had rifles or shotguns in their offices or in their vehicles during hunting season, we would even compare guns with the teachers for Christ's sake...

No one ever came and tried to shoot up our school...why, because we had the ability to return fire...

YOU IDIOT!!!

The FT Hood shooting took place in a GUN FREE ZONE!  Guns Were not allowed.

Yeah he did his shooting in a security area where they weren't allowed to have weapons...not like he tried that shit on the rifle range buddy...

If you notice, the shooters with the highest body counts have always done their shooting in the "Gun Free" zones.  Laughner and the Portland Mall Shooter could have been infinitely worse, but for the fact armed citizens detered them from continuing the shooting...

Original Message In this tiny Texas town, children and their parents don't give much thought to safety at the community's lone school - mostly because some of the teachers are carrying concealed weapons.

In remote Harrold, the nearest sheriff's office is 30 minutes away, and people tend to know - and trust - one another. So the school board voted to let teachers bring guns to school.

"We don't have money for a security guard, but this is a better solution," Superintendent David Thweatt said. "A shooter could take out a guard or officer with a visible, holstered weapon, but our teachers have master's degrees, are older and have had extensive training. And their guns are hidden. We can protect our children."
