Let's just arm everyone in our schools. Not just teachers and administration, but all staff.

More importantly, it's time to arm ALL students. I'm thinking, at around third grade?

Not only would it make our children safe, but the NRA and the GOP would love it: just think about all the money to be made in designing child-sized guns that constantly needed upgrades as kids grew. And all the new jobs that would be created. Then there are the dues the NRA might collect.

Arggggh!
