Gun Control Sandy Hooker Claims Victim Would Rather Die Than Carry A Gun

A rather amazing thing has been going on in the schools since the Sandy Hook tragedy last year; common sense seems to be gaining a foothold. School boards and districts are finally realizing the danger of believing in so called “gun free zones”. With this realization comes the next step: action. In many places across the country that action is the revocation of the bans denying teachers their constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I wrote yesterday that this isn’t just in Texas or deeply red states but in places like St. Helens Oregon. You can go ahead and add Briggsdale Colorado to the growing list as well. School administrators in the tiny Colorado town of Briggsdale will allow an unspecified number of teachers to carry concealed handguns in the classroom as long as they agree to participate in ongoing training. Participants must commit to hitting the firing...

St. Helens School District erupts with common sense; Lifts ban on armed teachers

The St. Helens School Board in Oregon lifted a ban that had prevented teachers with concealed carry permits from carrying their guns on campus. School board chairman Marshall Porter said, “The current law in Oregon allows for anyone to concealed carry on school grounds. To exclude our staff seems like they’re being punished. They should have a right to protect themselves if they choose.” According to ABC News, the decision impacts seven schools within the St. Helens School District.

My question is what was that 1 nay voter thinking? If you have a Concealed Handgun License in Oregon then schools from K-12 have no legal right to bar...

Gun Control Fails to Save Teacher From Being Murdered by Bigger and Stronger Attacker

How was Danvers High math teacher Colleen Ritzer killed? With a box cutter by someone who was bigger and stronger than she was. After school, the accused murderer, Philip Chism, followed her into the girls bathroom. The “whys” of what happened are still being investigated, whether this was a rage killing or attempted rape has not yet been discovered but one thing was for certain, Ms. Ritzer was beaten and stabbed and never left that bathroom alive. Video from the school showed Chism rolling a recycling bin through the school and it was found near where he dumped her body. My question to the school and to the state of Massachusetts was, “how exactly was Ms. Ritzer supposed to survive?” She was in a confined space, cornered with no place to escape, where an armed attacker who was bigger and stronger than she was began to beat her before pulling out...
