After Sandy Hook, I suggested grants-in-aid to schoold districts to bolster security, harden facilities, screen visitors, or take other reasonable actions at the respective districts discretion. The hue and cry was against putting armed personnel in school and moral condemnation, glossing over the fact there were already 20,000 armed police at some 100,000 schools.

I believe the controller/banner/confiscator mainly cares about its static year-after-year doctrines as much as they care about the spectacular mass murder victims. Nothing passes muster with them if it doesn't involve bans and reams of regulations.

The ban battle Is The Thing.
