There have been suggestions that schools should have armed guards on duty. Are we talking about schools attended by little children? Are schools to be like prisons with guards carrying rifles and pistols? What a terrible environment for children. As they mature, will they have a vision of the world as an armed camp with danger around every corner?
Will this situation promote peace and safety? I think not. Just as more vehicles on the highway mean more accidents and death, more guns in public mean more shootings and overflowing mortuarys.
In this time of celebrating the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, let us do much more to promote peace and safety for all people.
