Trump changing the game on school shootingsThinker, Feb 24, 2018, Robert Turner
<snip>
Why is it that with numerous steps available by which safety in our schools can be improved, such steps have been ignored? Why, rather than evaluating and implementing necessary steps to increase security and harden up school campuses, have our politicians at both state and federal levels allowed schools to remain sitting-duck gun-free zones, thereby inviting disaster?
Why does it take President Trump – whom the "resistance" vilifies, depending on the mood of the moment, as ignorant, unqualified, insane, immoral, or dictatorial – to actually start a serious conversation regarding student safety? Where have our conservative Republicans been on this issue? What of the blathering Democrats? What have they proposed to actually improve school safety? Student safety, for our political classes, seems only tangential to the real goal of the progressive Democratic Party: confiscation of guns and the destruction of our Second Amendment freedom. If it were otherwise, meaningful steps would have by now been taken.
Republicans have failed us by allowing Democrats to turn every issue or tragedy into an argument on gun control or some other freedom-weakening, leftist-loved issue. As long as weak-kneed Republicans allow progressives to define the issues, nothing will be accomplished. The good news is that with President Trump at the head of state, things are changing. For the first time, concrete steps will be considered and likely taken that will have an actual bearing on student safety. Indeed, by following Trump's example, Republicans should see how essential it is to set and defend an agenda that actually solves problems.
