Remember when the Left ridiculed Wayne LaPierre's press conference, after suggesting having armed police in schools might prevent future school shootings?
What will those same people say today, now that Barack Obama is considering taking the same position?
The Obama administration is considering funding many more police officers in public schools to secure campuses, a leading Democratic senator said, part of a broad gun violence agenda that is likely to include a ban on high-capacity ammunition clips and universal background checks.
The school safety initiative, one of several under consideration, would make federal dollars available to schools that want to hire police officers and install surveillance equipment, although it is not nearly as far-ranging as the National Rifle Association’s proposal for armed guards in every U.S. school.
I can't see how the Federal Government can extend the option/offer to some schools, but not all of them. Can you imagine the lawsuit that would originate if a shooting took place at a school that wanted protection, but wasn't offered it by Washington? Who would determine which schools would be eligible for the program, and which would not. Would schools like Columbine and Sandy Hook have been "eligible" under the Obama Rules?
