Why do you allow so much violence in our schools? Signed a concerned student. Dear Concerned Student, I'm not allowed in schools, GOD." Ben Franklin warned us that "They who can give up essential liberty (freedoms for the LIC's) to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety." According to the Brookings Institute there are over 20,000 gun laws currently on the books. Do these laws stop school shootings? Answer is no. All they do is prevent law abiding citizens from having the ability to defend themselves. Schools are gun free zones. This is why killers shoot up schools because they know people found there will be unable to defend themselves. When I was in high school students brought their guns to school. You could walk through the student parking lot and see shotguns and high powered rifles hanging from gun racks in vehicle windows. Jurisdictions with the strictest gun laws such as Washington D.C. have the highest rates of violence. Warum? As I stated earlier it is not what is in our hands but what is in our hearts that is the problem. Box cutters and airplanes killed three thousand Americans in the Trade Towers. O. J. cut his ex-wife's head off with a knife. Oklahoma City bombers killed hundreds with fertilizer. The deadliest school killings occurred on May 18, 1927 in Bath Michigan where 45 people, mostly children, were killed and 58 were injured when disgruntled and demented school board member Andrew Kehoe dynamited the school for revenge over his farm being foreclosed on due in part to school taxes. In China the last five school attacks involved knives in four and gasoline in one. Obama asks "are we doing enough to keep our children safe?" The answer is no. If you want to keep them safe have three to four teachers who are adequately trained and screened to carry concealed handguns. They would then have the means to protect the children. Now if we truly are interested in fixing things to protect children I have a few other areas to examine. Abortion or women's right to choose, has claimed over 40 million lives since it's legalization. All of these children at one point would have been first graders just like the babies at Sandy Hook School. As a trade off for irresponsible whorish behavior we can murder 40 million children for convenience sake. By my count approximately 100 children have been killed in school shootings. One hundred precious souls. Hundreds die in car accidents each year. Over a thousand each year in drowning accidents. Around a thousand each year while riding bicycles. Gangs cause deaths of hundreds of youths annually. Are we going to make laws against having a gang or being a member? Will we address these deaths also? Don't listen to these sissy boys Rivera and Scarborough, think, research, and decide for yourself. A final point, another lib policy like gun free zones, and abortion is the de-institutionalism of the mentally ill. This lib policy which had it's beginnings in the 1950's and came to fruition in the 1960's threw the doors of mental institutions open. Dangerous mentally people should be incarcerated protecting society at large from them. A more common strand which runs throughout these murderers is mental illness. It is more common than guns.
