Our President gets the best security force in the world, his Daughters also receive this at their school.

Our Courts, State, County, and Federal buildings have armed security.

Our Hospitals have security.

I spend extra money for my Daughters to go to a Private School that offers Security. And we're not talking rent-a-cop Mall Security. Why? Because I know I will never have to turn the radio on and hear that my Daughters' school is under attack and have to wait hours wondering if my Daughters are going to be walking out, or carried out.

As a Man who has been in combat, I hope to god that my Daughters' unless they choose to join the Service, will never have to fear for their life because a 'bad guy with a gun' decided he needs to go let his rage out.

Studies show that "gun-control" will not decrease violent crime or gun-related murders.

In a active shooter situation, you have a choice, be a victim or protect yourself.

I would rather only need 1 body bag for the Shooter then 14 body bags for the victims plus the shooter.

However, the road to preventing more school shootings can't be reactive, we have to start being pro-active, that doesn't just mean banning a tool used in these situations, but the person holding the gun.

I think there'd be a lot wrong with having an armed person inside a school.

None of our courts, state/council buildings, hospitals have armed security. Our private schools don't and our state schools don't.

I don't think the ideal situation is to have a shootout inside a school if someone entered one with a gun. That sounds like it has the potential to be ten times worse than these situations already are.

I've Googled "does gun control help gun crime" and plenty of articles pop up contradicting your source. People are gonna pick the studies they want to further their case. I know my country, I know our gun laws, and I know how often I've heard of school shootings coming out of America than out of here.
