One of our local schools said they had a plan in place as they have a resource officer (unarmed) for four schools. Idiots.

Yes we should not have to do it, but anyone knows we are unsafe whether our kids are in school, we are sitting in church, or are shopping at a mall. But it is always the gun's fault.

With all due respect, this is not the time or place for gun rhetoric. There will be plenty of time and forums for discussions about guns and their roll in this and other shootings when the time is right. Now is certainly not a time for it.
