I do not own a gun and have an intense dislike of the NRA. I scarcely believe hiring armed guards in some local schools is the answer to the problem. More guns to meet the gun problem?
Frankly, I do not know the answer to our gun problem. Part of the cause is that our country was born in violence. The Second Amendment links the right to bear arms to the need for a strong militia. Maybe all gun owners should be required to join a militia, attend regular drills, buy uniforms, etc. Perhaps these duties would dim their ardor for guns.
