We can't sit back and wait any longer

Another school shooting, in Nevada this time and more people dead. Are we just gonna sit around and wait until it (God forbid) happens here? It’s time to find those teachers that are willing and able to carry and, if need be, use it. Too many children are paying the price for us to sit back and do nothing until it’s time to plan the funeral of our children and or staff.

There are nutcases in every town, large or small, and it only takes one bad day to set them off. I, for one, will support arming qualified and trained teachers or hiring well vetted qualified and trained security for all our schools. We cannot sit back and wait. We are not immunized against nutcases.
