I am tired of the politics of fear. I don't give a damn if more guns in schools could reduce the effectiveness of a rampage. There are plenty of tasteless solutions that can limit the effectiveness of a rampage. Every student could wear body armor, for instance. I don't want to live in a country that takes this approach, and I don't want my daughter to go to a school filled with guns. I don't want guns to be there for accidents, or to be stolen, or to be used by a distressed teacher that was just sacked. We have come this far without guns in classrooms and we are fine. The root of this problem is mentally deranged people with access to guns. The clear choice that does not push us towards a society of fear, is to identify these individuals, treat them, and limit their access to guns. The NRA has one goal, and they don't much care if our children's environment is perverted for them to achieve it. They brew paranoia as a marketing tool.
