Federal Money For Armed Guards In Schools? How About It?

Gotcha Libs...lol Only one you all loved better than Bozo The Obama was Cigar Willy so you might find it more to your liking now..

Flashback: Clinton Requests $60 Million to Put Cops in Schools

Today, the same elite media who no doubt send their own kids to private schools that employ armed security, just can't stop howling ridicule at the NRA's idea to give every student in America those same protections. Because the NRA's idea is so appealing, as I write this, the media's going overboard, mocking it as bizarre, crazy, and out of touch.
This is how the media works to silence and vilify the opposition and to ensure that only their ideas control The Narrative. The media doesn't care about securing our schools; they only care about coming after our guns and handing Obama another political win.

The media also doesn’t care how wildly hypocritical they look.

In their zeal to rampage this left-wing agenda, the media has apparently forgotten that back in 2000, on the one-year anniversary of the Columbine shooting (which occurred with an assault weapons ban in place), President Clinton requested $60 million in federal money to fund a fifth round of funding for a program called "COPS in School," a program that does exactly what the NRA is proposing and the media is currently in overdrive mocking:

Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for "COPS in School," a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.

"Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need," Clinton said.

The media is not only so driven to ensure Sandy Hook is used to win this round on gun control that they've become morally blinded to what really needs to be done to immediately secure our schools; they've lost their grip historically and politically.

Think about it: The media is entering a new year attempting to convince parents that their children will be less safe with a policeman in their school.

Off the rails doesn’t even begin to describe it.

KT, at least we agree on this!

Actually, I believe that each school should have at least 1 armed guard or policeman on duty at all times.

I don't see how we can afford to pay a salary for an armed guard at every school, unless we divert law enforcement from their normal patrols during school hours.

Create another unfunded mandate within each school system...

Yes, yes I can see that as a plausible Washington feel good fix!

In Lawrence County Ironton City has layed off officers and the Sheriff is always working with less and less money. Then schools keep getting money cut from the State and Fed Govt. So where does the money come from. Maybe have the military put guards in schools as part of their training. As we continue to pull back military in other countries.

Even if they put armed guards in the schools the freaks out there will just move to something else. Or do even more destruction as wearing bombs to school or even car bombs. Just as virus protection on computers continually have to be upgraded. So doing away with assult weapons would be a better first step.

There's that slippery slope again...

...This is about school protection, not protection of every square mile of the USA...

...Protect the children with at least 1 armed guard in each school...

Should we have an armed guard for each school bus, little league sporting events, etc..? The idiots committing these atrocities will adjust fire. The flanks will always be exposed.

[farmer]

Then are more school kids killed on school buses or at school?

The use of miltary in schools as guards could be used to help offer a transition to civilian job. This also keeps the bill on the military.

The school bus is a legitimate question; however, I don't believe that this is an issue.

Little league has never been an issue either. However, it could become one as it might be considered a soft target.

That's the jest of my comment. IF we harden facilities then the mentally deranged he!! bent on killing innocents will find another venue, IMO.

Same can be said on banning assualt weapons. Those hell bent on killing will find other ways to do it.

I believe the military could do a lot of goodwill in our country. Unfortunately, they are extremely limited by law ( The Posse Comitatus Act ) on their role/roles. Of course, everything can be amended.

No argument from me on this. I agree!!
