Sensible Gun Policies

It’s hard to see how this goes wrong.
Douglas County, Colorado, will begin arming school security guards with semiautomatic rifles within the next month in order to protect students from mass shootings, according to the Denver Post.
Security officers will begin using the rifles after they complete the same 20-hour training that police officers go through, according to the Denver Post. Some security officers will receive the guns within a month, while others will get them in August.
Theoretically, the guns won’t actually be in the schools, but we’ll see. Given that the district’s security director didn’t even consult with the school board before making this decision, I am not confident. Maybe the next the district can buy one of those surplus tanks the military sells to local police departments. Have to make sure our school security officers are as well-armed as the police after all.
