If we focus on the real issue - balancing police power and public safety v. Public utility, it’s a tough case to make.

Sure, one can argue that “it’s my 2d amendment right” or “cops get 30 round mags, why shouldn’t I”?

I’m not arguing either side of those points. But those arguments are NOT making kids safer in schools. And that will decide what happens. Because if we aren’t reasonable, and focus on solutions, eventually we will get solutions we won’t have any influence on and we may not like.

I say be part of the solution. You’re not giving up any rights by protecting kids in schools...and if you are, what kind of right would it be?
