I believe the Presidemts family should be protected. Otherwise, one of those nut jobs would kidnap his kids and force him to blow up Isreal or Turkey or England or .. He is a Public servant, but one you dont want to be put in that position. Again, I am talking any President.

To me, having guards at a school was a seperate subject. I am guessing the school is private and they pay extra in the tuition to pay for the guards. Thats an assumption, anyone know if thats true? If it is then I don't see whats wrong with them paying extra for a private school with guards as long as I have the same opportunity to pay extra for a private school with guards here. Thats an apples to apples scenario. Public school and private school are different. If they attend Public school then thats a different position.

Then the question comes down to would you be willing to have your taxes raised to provide an armed gaurd at your kids school? I would. That would mean a ballot would need to be introduced to raise taxes for security much like they do when they want to do school improvements. That would take a grass roots efforts by parents to get such a ballot going.
I don't have a kid in school anymore, thank god, allah, creator, buddah, what ever diety you choose.
What i don't have is an issue with is ARMED & TRAINED SECURITY At every public and private school in the country, EXCEPT NY, CT, CA and any other liberal gun grabbing in the name of safety, state.
Hell i'd gladly step up to the plate and VOLUNTEER MY SERVICES. Complete with a release form, which disconnects the PSD from any liability, IF a Valid Threat presented it self and i was able to stop said threat, one way or another.
I am sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, of RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS out there who would do the same.
