If the principal and teachers all had guns, would there have been this tragedy?

Yes, but if I put up a "gun free zone" or a "drug free zone" sign, I feel sooo much better about myself. It doesn´t matter that they are useless gestures for some pretended benefit, I feel good about ME!-- Any Liberal

Amen.

How about a school that has a sign out front that says:

"Caution, we have guns. -The Administration"

I think that could help.

As#1 states; a few heat packing adults in that school might very well have lessened the grisly impact. There will inevitably be an outcry against guns, but refute every such statement with facts. Where the citizenry is armed the shootings and deaths are less. The most unsafe places are gun free zones - schools and education establishments,churches, malls, movie theaters, hospitals. Think about how simple it can be to making these the safest places instead.

Any establishment that posts a "GUN FREE ZONE" sign, is saying that they will be responsible for your safety. If you were to be injured or killed inside such a zone, I believe that you or your dependents would have the right to sue the socks off the owner of that establishment. After all they are now responsible for your personal safety.

I´m an NRA member, gunowner and 2nd amendment supporter, but I teachers packing in school? No thank you.

I have an idea. How about requiring all gun control advocates to post "Gun Free Zone" signs in front of their homes?

Progressive politicians are not stupid. They are well aware that gun-free zones are dangerous. They know that children can be gunned down. They just don´t care.

One must understand that politicians are by nature, sociopaths. The ´ends justify the means´ is their mantra. The populace must be disarmed, for them to advance an increasingly authoritarian agenda.

Lets just leave concealed carry up to the individual. Once they are 21 or a trained veteran let them decide how to apply their personal 2nd amendment RIGHTS. Since that right to keep...and bear...arms is national, states or municipalities should have no say in regulating it. Your right to carry should be in effect wherever you go inside our borders. Watch the violent crime rate drop all over.

I remember thinking how one former Marine in that class with a legal Glock in his backpack could have dropped that shooter at Virginia Tech. My son would have. Liberals of course say no. Liberals as usual are full of it.

I agree with #1! My husband and I keep ourselves armed 24/7...even when we go to church. We refuse to fly because the government jackboots will not allow us to carry our arms on the airplane. If everyone was required to carry a gun, our world would be much safer.

The writer has to educate his children.
He does NOT have to send them to public schools.
He can send them to private schools.
He can home school them.
There are options.

My bank has a "Gun Free Zone" sign in the window...till the armed robber walked in!

I think it should be mandatory that all teachers be required to qualify annually on the shooting range and to carry a handgun on their person at all times they are out of their own home. That will quickly stop all this periodic insanity. If you don´t qualify, you don´t teach. It would also halt the leftward drift of our education system--a twofer.

I see in the news today that Jerrod Nadler is screaming for more gun control. I guess that he believes that owning flatware is what made him morbidly obese.

Amen, #10. We need some serious class-action suits against those states that regularly suppress our natural rights, codified in the BOR.

This is absolutely right.

Well, the Fed Gvt should give the schools and other gun free zones, money to post larger signs telling these murdering savages they are entering a gun free zone- that should do it- Oh, and going out on a limb here, the signs should be in three languages, with English being no bigger or smaller than the other languages, just to be all PC- perhaps Spanish and Jive.

How ´bout we abolish state-run schools rather than step on 2A or tell private organizations whether or not they may deny or permit firearms on their premises?

If a government bureaucrat declares a school a "gun free zone" but then fails to secure the school or enable anyone in the school to defend it, then that bureaucrat and government should be held liable. They´re not. Instead, the same government idiocracy attempts to impose more lunacy contrary to common sense on us.
