about the school shooting and the abysmal response of the Sherrif's department the more we should realize that we need to be responsible for our own self defense.  I keep hearing all these complaints about how we are asking too much of teachers already and suggesting they be armed is a bridge too far.  What gets lost in this discussion is that absent a weapon we are asking teachers to protect their students with door locks and hiding behind desks.  Not exactly the optimal form of self defense in the case of an active shooter.

I would never advocate for forcing a teacher to be armed but I would certainly be all for giving them the training and certification if they chose to carry.  Because as we saw in Florida, you cannot rely on law enforcement.  They may not be able to get there in time and even if they were there, they may lack the courage or training to respond with force.   We have to be prepared to defend ourselves.  And we have to allow teachers that are so inclined to have the ability to defend their students, again with proper screening, training and certification.

I agree.  The average response time is 5 minutes, and as we have seen time and time again, a lot of people can be killed in that period of time.  I really think it should be up to the community and what is right for them.  I don't see this as a federal mandate, but as a choice of the community.

The abysmal response of Broward County law enforcement has a history and a reason for their actions.  Read what you can find on the Promise Program.  Another government effort from Obama and his Attorney General working with the school systems to mitigate the criminal behavior of minorities by not arresting them.  Started in Miami-Dade County following the Trayvon Martin fiasco.  Most likely this is the reason Cruz was never held accountable for his actions and why he could pass a backgroung check to buy a gun.  So many opportunities to have stopped this senseless tragedy before it happened and none involved the NRA.

Suddenly, Bonespur Trump tells how would have reacted......

"I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too," Trump told a group of state governors gathered at the White House for talks on multiple issues.
