Can America Handle the Truth? If Not, More Will Die.

Israel endures terror daily.  Their brand of the TSA is the most effective in the world.  It turns out that those who deal with internal terror on a daily basis might have some answers for such domestic terror.  In Israel, teachers and other school administrators are allowed to be armed. They carry semi-automatic firearms whenever they are in the schools.  This policy was adopted in the 1970’s, and tragedies like the one in Connecticut do not happen there.  Let me repeat that for emphasis as it was quoted in WND.com:  “In Israel, teachers and parents who serve as school aids are armed with semi-automatic firearms whenever they are on school grounds. Since the country adopted this policy in the 1970s, attacks by gunmen at Israeli schools have become non-existent.”
We need to ask tough questions to sink this message to the low information public who wants to deny reality and give “feel good” answers that don’t work and result in more death and destruction.  WND asks:  “When last did you hear of a multiple-victim shooting taking place on a firearm range, in a police station or at a gun show, or wherever many firearms are found anywhere in the world? You haven’t. That’s because criminals prefer unarmed victims, or soft targets. No wonder they love gun control – it makes their work so much easier and their working environment much safer.”
How many children have to die before we implement real solutions that work?  How many planes have to be hijacked before we adopt practices that actually save lives?  If we continue to ignore well documented, thoroughly tested in favor of “feel good” slogans, at some point we need to ask ourselves who is really at fault for these tragedies?
