President Obama wants action in the wake of this tragedy. How come he isn't insisting on the same level of protection afforded his children?
If you want more protection for YOUR KIDS go to YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD and raise the issue.

Are YOU and the people in YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT WILLING TO PAY HIGHER TAXES FOR MORE SECURITY AT YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL?

The issue of more security at schools doesn't have a damn thing to do with how much security President Obama or his children receive.

Ask the loony left - who disparages the NRA's approach and wishes to ban weapons rather then seek solutions that prevent unstable people from carrying out massacres.

More school districts would likely do just that if President Obama used his influence to advocate for such an approach, rather than calling for a ban on all guns.

This school has one highly trained armed guard for every 102 students.
Do the math.

The Secret Service had to keep surveillance on their cars because they would try to ditch the SS and cost the taxpayers millions in their 8 years as "first daughters".

Also, the taxpayers paid for Jenna to go bar-hopping in Mexico.
So quit with your phony outrage. We all know the reason why you constantly post these trolling threads and nobody is buying it. Get over the black man with the silly name being YOUR PRESIDENT. I didn't vote for him either, but I'm not complaining about something that has happened under every single president since nutjobs like you started making threats on the lives of the presidents and their families.

And why aren't you singing the praises of Chelsea Clinton? According to the Secret Service, she was the "best first child".

They should ban the president's personal bodyguards with guns, if that is the way Obama feels about guns.

Practice what you preach.

The Koch brothers actually have a private school that they established here in West Palm Beach, The Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches.

I'm pretty sure they don't have armed guards there.

Nice strawman.

You are correct that I call for a local government solution, although allowing faculty to carry concealed would be a much better approach.

All I ask of President Obama is to put his mouth where his money is, and advocate for local governments to either fund security at schools, or not obstruct faculty who wish to carry concealed.

Your smear attempt FAILS.
So you want the Federal Government to tell the Local Government what to do?

When did Obama call for a ban on all guns?
