If the author could get past his elitist contempt for the common man he'd have something there.


Simple fact is that you don't have to have years of elite firearms training to be able to safely and effectively carry a gun and protect school children. Hiring a bunch of high speed/low drag operators at top dollar to guard our schools for infinitesimally rare mass murder events is just asinine ... a few guns in the hands of those teachers with CHLs that want to pack, maybe an administrator or two and someone on the janitorial staff (no, not that sketchy dude that spends too much time mopping up in the girls locker room) and you'd harden schools enough that the vast majority of these nutters (and that's a ridiculously small number to start with) would stay away.


Anyway I stopped reading and decided his essay was not worth passing on when he started wringing his hands about private sales.
