    Speaking of gun control

    I wouldn't trust the government we have today to get any important issue right. The right to bear arms is fundamental to freedom. The 2nd Amendment is no mistake.

    Armored backbacks for kids, only in America

    Armored backpacks? Why not send them to school in full body armor? Little kids cannot protect themselves and no amount of gimmickry will change this fact. There is no substitute for an adult standing ready to defend children. Even in ancient times, shepherds were made available to keep the...

    Speaking of gun control

    I am unclear on what you mean, OVM. Are you saying our 2nd Admendment rights are a mistake? Am I reading you wrong?

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I'm pretty sure Obama and the Democrats were actively helping mentally ill people get to the polls on Election Day.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    We can do both simultaneously. Increase security on-site and do a better job of identifying persons posing a threat. Most of our schools have no real security to speak of. It's like they've placed security on the honor system. Truly, how does a family or community deal with the next Adam...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Moot... schools are charged with protecting students while in their care. You know that. The Latin term for this legal duty imposed on schools is " in loco parentis." School administrators have an affirmative legal duty to protect students while acting as their custodian during school hours...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    We will get there. When enough bloodletting of slaughtered school children outrages enough citizens, armed security at schools will become the norm. Just the waste and fraud that goes on with the food stamp program would fund plenty of school cops. Priorities have to change.

    Becoming deathly ill in France.

    It's a little uncomfortable to envision accountants and funeral directors attempting to influence families and medical ethicists as to why sooner is better. Yet, I read somewhere that many American families burn through hundreds of thousands of dollars at granpa's end-of-life struggle to...

    Becoming deathly ill in France.

    Does anyone think there might be an unspoken agenda at work, rationing of public health dollars( francs) to best fit the needs of French society? Once "accelerated death" statutes are on the books, how many Frenchmen get a few extra days, weeks, months or years shaved off at the end? One might...

    Becoming deathly ill in France.

    I find the French particularly worrisome. As recently as 1977, the guillotine was used as the standard means of execution.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    That would make a fascinating sociological study. There must be instances somewhere of a woman taking down a mass murderer. Can anyone give an example?

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Ever notice it's almost never the female's fault whether it be a bad marriage or a bad offspring?

    New 'Queen' James Bible

    Now here is something, "Queen Bible" to be righteously indignant about. Obama could use one in the Oval Office to perform homosexual weddings. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2249704/White-House-proposal-Captain-Matthew-Phelps-proposes-Ben-Shock.html

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Local communities will ultimately decide for themselves what level of school security they are comfortable with. There are already uniformed cops patrolling many schools in the US and it has been this way for decades in some urban areas. I imagine more and more school districts will choose...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    How many adolescent boys live in a home with their biological father married to the birth mother? We are raising an entire generation of folks being told fathers are not really important... that Government will be substituted for fathers. How many generations of messed up males are we willing...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Enroute to Texas tonight, I am listening to an Israeli on the radio explain that since the Israelis placed armed security in their schools in the 1970's, they have not experienced a single mass shooting at any school. Not one mass shooting. Are we to believe an American child is not...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Society can either wring its hands for the next 20 years or get real about protecting school children, right now. This should be a wake-up call to defend the most vulnerable segment of our population. Don't like the idea of guns in school? What's better.... more slaughtered children while we...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Troubled young men are the problem as most mass murder incidents are committed by men. Young men do not fear women, maybe they should, but they don't. An increased male presence, particularly the presence of armed men devoted to protecting children at schools, would make a huge deterence to...
