Signs now posted outside of Okay, OK public schools leave little doubt as to how entrusted officials intend to ensure the lives and safety of children:
It is refreshing to see the old "Gun Free School Zone" signs come down and a public school system use commonsense tactics to ensure it is not seen as a soft target by those seeking to inflict harm and mass casualties on the most innocent in the community.#Oklahoma #Okay schools first to allow staff to arm https://t.co/mnSwtgo6UT #2A #NRA #tcot @NRA #pjnet #GOP @GOP pic.twitter.com/8QlrKJDpAA— Jaime Chanaga (@JaimeChanaga) February 5, 2016
Lib rags, like Huffpost Politics, have already weighed in after reporting the facts:
But what if an angry or upset student gets hold of a teacher's firearm? What if a gun is lost on school grounds? What if a teacher accidentally discharges the weapon?The online publication also cites the NY Times citing Andrew Rosenthal logic:
About the only thing more terrifying than a lone gunman firing into a classroom or a crowded movie theater is a half a dozen more gunmen leaping around firing their pistols at the killer, which is to say really at each other and every bystander. It's a police officer's nightmare.Many don't agree with this perspective, thinking that there is nothing more terrifying than a stranger opening fire on innocent people, whether it be at a school, church, mall, or sporting event. Gun-free zones have done nothing but let would-be perpetrators know where best to carry out evil. Knowing a good guy with a gun will be armed and ready to thwart an attempt to cause mass casualties will be a more effective deterrent.
