I have a serious question for you, please. I promise I'm not trying to bait anyone, but just looking for some opinions and options:
Gun control advocates seem to be settling on an agenda of making background checks mandatory on ALL gun sales, banning the future sale of "assault rifles", and finding a way to identify and treat those with dangerous mental issues. They say this would be a very good start to reducing gun violence, and that over the years and decades ahead we might move away from our current gun-centric society.
Taking this vision at face value, what are we going to do to protect our schools and churches and shopping malls, etc, RIGHT NOW?
What if next Wednesday a mentally deranged person walked into a middle school in a normally peaceful Indiana community and started firing. There is one School Resource (police) Officer on duty during school hours to protect 1,500 students spread out over a 3-building campus. What could be done RIGHT THEN to stop another massacre? Would it take another person with a gun to stop the shooter or are there other options?
Your thoughts and suggestions, please.
S
