You know, that is SO true. I've always argued that guns are not scary enough to scare people with bad intentions away. Every time I am involved in a home invasion, there is no sound more reminiscent of a cup of warm eggnog by the fire place than when I hear a home owner load his Mossberg 500.
I'm just hoping parents have the responsibility to lock their toddlers firearms up on Christmas eve--I'm betting Santa is packing heat too and a shoot out at the fireplace could be, well, a bit MESSY.
It really isn't realistic to expect one or two armed guards to cover all the possibilities of perimeter breaches in a single school. Time to arm the students with small arms and let them be able to fend for themselves. Naturally I would roll this out in phases so as to be able to prevent the gun manufacturers from having to pay overtime wages. We could initially request parental permission and then proceed to go directly to the children on a volunteer basis before eventually conscripting the whole lot of 'em. However, even at the risk of angering the gun enthusiasts, I think it would be a bad idea to equip the playtime platoons with extended capacity clips.
Probably cheaper than buying them tablets and laptops too.
Well small arms can only handle small arms. What's the kickback on a .50 cal Magnum, can a 13 year old girl handle it??

my 2 daughters are already armed when they go to school, but of course I dont do public schools.
I homeschool.
Ooooh! Can we have alligators in the moats too? I want one! I'm thinking my PTA is going to be ALL OVER THIS ONE. Forget adding books to the library--we want a MOAT!
Yes. And have boulders on the roof or vats of scalding water to throw off the edge onto any attackers. The Medievalists had the right idea.

Well, I am thinking that Santa is only going to a few, very select households this year:
1.) Obviously, he can't really go to many a liberal household because liberals, apparently, are mostly godless, morally corrupt atheists who certainly don't believe in Santa.
2.) To many a gun nut, Santa must be nothing more than an oversized home invader, probably high on cookies and milk. I wonder how parents explain to their children that a once-a-year home invasion is perfectly alright IF the guy is fat and wears a red suit, white at all other times, home invasions are to be dealt with accordingly.
If I were Santa, I'd be scared of getting shot when I am done squeezing through that chimney. Children can be quite rash at jumping to the wrong conclusion. At least liberals are more likely to simply call the cops.
Thus, there are really only a few families left who can expect to have a visit from Santa.

Gee, where do you live that you guys walk around the house armed? In my neck of the woods, we can leave the doors unlocked for months and nothing ever happens. Well, maybe some passerby will notice the open door and close it for us. I think the worst crime (because it involved physical "violence") we had in recent months was a teenager who was throwing water balloons at passerby. I am not kidding, either.
