1. Shit won't happen in NJ

New Jersey has some of the strictest Gun laws in the Nation most guards don't carry guns because its to costly for the Companies to register guards so this plan is DEAD ON ARRIVAL in NJ

2. Actually my school in NJ had a non-leo security officer who was armed. 1986.

It was in the northeastern burbs. Maybe things have changed since then

5. OH YEAH they have changed a lot

3. There was a resource officer at my son's school the day a teacher snapped

after he was fired and shot the principal and the vice-principal.

While the resource officer was able to get them help more quickly (they both lived, but the principal is now paralyzed from the waist down), he could not stop the shooting. There is no way he could be everywhere at one time.

FWIW, my son had had the teacher for fourth grade and was in fifth grade when the incident happened. That teacher was the ONLY teacher I've ever disliked and I complained about him. So did several other parents, which is why they were not going to renew his contract.

4. Did I hear

LePierre propose a 10% surcharge on all firearms and ammunition to fund his proposal?
I didn't think so.
