The liberal press are acting as if school guards are something new but a third of all American schools already have armed guards. They are the schools in the inner city and the guards & metal detectors are there to stop rival gangs shooting it out at school. My ex wife went to such a school in Chicago. The guards were ex-cops mostly and she was at school in the nineties. Two years ago her cousin was shot dead in the street in Chicago and most of her family members have been robbed at gun point at one time or another. This is routine, day on day, gun crime and its conducted with handguns, but not even the most liberal of Americans will raise the issue of handguns.
