Could Armed Teachers Prevent the Next School Shooting?

The Sunday morning news shows are ablaze with the debate for arming teachers to prevent the next school shooting!


As a parent and grandmother, I want my children to be effectively defended.  When a parent drop their children off at school, those same parents look forward to seeing their children safe and happy at the end of the day. Our most precious resources, the future leaders of this nation!

Stricter gun laws would not have prevented "monsters" like Adam Lanza, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and others from committing mass shootings, and I wonder why students, unlike banks, don't have the protection of armed officials.  

Armed police are currently in many schools, but, the police cannot be everywhere to provide protection and to make our children safe.  A shooter could take out a guard or officer with a visible, holstered weapon, but well trained teachers could slow down the mass killings in our schools, because the killer would not know how many teachers are carrying. Criminals are lazy...once they find out that they will encounter an obstacle in carrying out their crime, they will typically seek an easier pry.

Instead of heralding Ms. Victoria Soto, a 27-year-old Sandy Hook elementary teacher as a hero for dying while trying to hide her pupils; an armed Victoria Soto could have been heralded as a hero who was able to send her children to the safety of their homes after that horrific mass murder attempt.  

Connecticut has a ban on assault weapons and those precious children were not protected.

Criminals work outside of the legal system.  Additional gun bans will not stop them from killing. According to National Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre,  "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."




Eleven years after the Sept. 11 attacks, a growing number of U.S. airline pilots are armed, prepared to use lethal force to protect the cockpit.  More than  10,000 pilots carry government-issued guns on a voluntary basis, or about 10% of the nation's 100,000 pilots.

These pilots, officially known as federal flight deck officers, keep sidearms handy to provide one more layer of security and a last line of defense against hijackers.

To become flight deck officers, pilots undergo six days of intense training at a federal complex in Artesia, N.M., including weapons handling and close-combat techniques.

"We must speak for the safety of our nation's children," said LaPierre. "We care about our money, so we protect our banks with armed guards. American airports, office buildings, power plants, courthouses, even sports stadiums, are all protected by armed security. We care about our president, so we protect him with armed Secret Service agents. Members of Congress works in offices surrounded by Capitol police officers, yet when it comes to our most beloved innocent and vulnerable members of the American family -- our children -- we as a society leave them every day utterly defenseless. And the monsters and the predators of the world know it and exploit it."

If it is possible to stop the monsters from harming our children, I'd rather try this approach than to do nothing.  Connecticut has a ban on assault weapons.  The ban for assault weapons did not work to protect those 20 innocent children who lost their lives!  It is time out for applying band-aid, political correct solutions to solve problems.

It's time to implement solid solutions. Let's do something that WILL WORK and give our teachers the tools needed to EFFECTIVELY protect our children!  

It's time to armof educators. While this may seem like a bizarre proposition to some, in the tiny Texas town of Harrold, this practice is hardly controversial and it is effective.

Why Did This Administration Recently Purchase 1.6 Billion Rounds of Ammunition and Sniper Rounds?


Get Rid of the Second Amendment



In the aftermath of the recent Sandy Hook shooting, Progressives are screaming about how guns kill.  They all despise guns and ammo. They are saying that guns are the problem in America, today.

A strong strategy is being implemented to have an excuse to confiscate the guns. Assault Weapons are the culprit.  Actually, the ban on assault weapons is only a red herring. We've are being told from every corner of the media that the only solution is restoring confidence after the Sandy Hook shooting is to place more control on your guns.  Ultimately, allowing for the nullification of the 2nd Amendment is the true strategy. There strategy will succeed unless you recognize it, understand it, and take action now to stop it.  The key to their success lies in keeping gun owners like you in the dark.

But not exactly. There's one organization in America that's loading up on masses of assault rifles and enough ammunition to run a 7-year shooting war. That;s right.  The organization is the U.S. federal government and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has purchased a total of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition to be used inside the United States.   That’s over five bullets for every American man, woman and child. It also includes long-range sniper rounds.

The United States of America was founded on the idea that an armed citizenry is the only thing that can be trusted to keep government honest, but that idea has now been turned upside down. The new message today is that an armed government is the only thing that can be trusted, and that individual citizens are all potential terrorists and mass murderers.

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms,” said Thomas Jefferson, “…is to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” The only way America has a chance to defend the Constitution and restore the Republic is to stay armed and stay vigilant.

There strategy will succeed unless you recognize it, understand it, and take action now to stop it.  The key to their success lies in keeping gun owners like you in the dark.
