Quite frankly I think the training should be based on the
training a
rookie Police Officer comes in with... This might mean a couple
years of
night school, but if you are going to have armed anybody in the
schools
I think they need all the tools of conflict resolution, physical
ability, tactical awareness, etc that a fully trained Police
Officer
has.

Why do we think there is something wonderful about the training
cops
have?

Because a lot of their training is directed at exactly the type of
incursion we are talking about here...

Remember last summer the cops in New York shot 11 innocent
bystanders,
taking down one suspect. They weren't even rookies.

It called "the fog of war"... it was terrible, but it happened.
Hey, I
hear a plane crashed once, maybe we just shouldn't fly either...

Do you think a bunch of untrained civilians would do any better? In
fact, can you give me one identifiable group that you think would be
better suited for such duty?

I think it would be better if we kept armed people of every kind away
from our public schools.

I'd rather we spend that sort of money, or a good portion of it on:

1. Licensing gun owners and guns, and that includes all current gun
owners and their firearms. Licensing to include a mandatory safety
course and demonstration of knowledge at a licensed firing range.

2. No private sales of firearms without a legal paper trail.

3. Drastically increased funding for community mental health
screening
and services.

4. Outlawing of firearms that can accommodate more than 10 rounds
in a
magazine, and required turning in or permanent modification of
existing
firearms.

5. Educational programs in the public schools that teach children
how to
resolve conflict without "going Scotty."

Is that why you live so far away from a school?

He lives that far because Harry Krause is a convicted sexual
predator...
back in Florida where he used to live...

Still projecting, hey, little boy-man? Oh, there are two public schools
and one church school in our immediate area, within walking distance if
there were sidewalks.

You can't walk anywhere unless there is sidewalks? Figures.

Do you have to work extra hard at being stupid or does it come naturally?

To walk to the three schools in our immediate area, you'd have to walk
on the side of several state roads, one of which is a very narrow
two-laner with lots of blind spots and the other with heavy traffic
during rush hour. For different reasons, both roads are dangerous for
pedestrians.

That's why the county runs school buses to pick up the kids, even though
their schools are within easy walking distance.

How do you manage to ride your bicycle and Duc. motorbike on those
dangerous roads?
