We didn't need no armed guards.

^^This. Our senior year, in the spring right before graduation the senior sponsor's, hosted a Tea for the girls and a trap shoot for the guys. These events took place during the school day.

That's cute... I hope someone sues a school that your taxes pay for. Then I hope they win. Just so you can say you did a good thing by paying for their lawsuit with your taxes...

Possibly because they were there, I suppose...you never need a gun until you really need it, so maybe they kept things from happening. I doubt it, it was a fairly quiet school in a pretty good area.

Of course, the last time I saw the place in about 1997 it had gone from an open campus to looking like Alcatraz South. Huge cement wall around the whole place, with a few iron gates.

Yup, Samoan security guards probably are effective against students who are horsing around and the usual stuff by normal kids. But they are totally useless against a firearm-armed nutjob intent on mass murder. There are a lot of schools with these unarmed security guards. The big objection IMHO to putting armed cops in schools or arming teachers is from the teachers unions - who are universally anti-2A and anti-gun. Many are determined to keep any gun possessed by a law-abiding citizen off their campus, at any cost.

The first lawsuit is in the works. $100 million for a 6 year old survivor. The comments again show the absolute cluelessness of our society.

Lawyers make every scenario a lose lose for someone. Imagine if a teacher at Sandy Hook had been armed and shot the intruder but a bullet passed through him and killed a child? There would be the same law suit against the school AND the teacher even through the teacher would have saved 25 lives.

Let's not and say we didn't.... Plus, if your bullet passes through, you're doing something wrong. Wrong ammo or you missed.
