School Shootings

Recently there seems to have been a rash of gun violence in our nations schools. I am as upset as most anybody. Something needs to be done. But what? I am strongly against metal detectors in schools and even armed guards placed in schools. There is no short nor easy answer for this question. I am a firm supporter of 2nd amendment rights and feel that more "gun control" is not the answer. Proper training could work provided it is not government training. When I say training I mean teach the administrators, teachers and school staff in crisis management. I know this probably is a touchy subject but "knee jerk" reactions is not what we need right now. This is a problem that I will address if elected to the Rockingham County School Board.

So you don't have any answers and you're afraid to say anything because its touchy. But! You will address it if elected. How about giving us good answers now so that we may decide if we should vote for you.

Be bold man! You're a libertarian! Your commericials put me to sleep, and your blog has me borderline comatose. You are a much more of a outgoing person, than you are allowing yourself to be! Show us your true dynamic self, give us the bold answers we deserve, and fight for our liberty like a libertarian! Onward, ever onward! Proclaim the truth and let the consequences follow!
