Restrain coverage, and arm teachers

I would like to commend the Daily Herald for its call for media restraint. Yes, the media has to quit glorifying these people and incidents. It only adds to the trouble.

All it does is give booster power to the next goofball.

Yes, they should report it, tell what is being done to help and then quit. Obama started blaming the gun again as usual. Instead it's time for every teacher in this country to be armed.

If there are 20 teachers in a school, that is 20 armed individuals ready to stop anything on the scene instead of waiting for a 15-minute response from the police while bodies keep piling up.

It is a shame that it must come to this, but that is the world we live in today. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

How many more children is it going to cost before we make a move to stop it by arming the teachers?

If there are 25 armed teachers in a college, you cannot tell me that it is not a deterrent to someone thinking twice about entering that school with carnage on his mind. Parents will also feel better.

Another thing is, this man was supposed to be reported to a list of possible terrorists, but they did not add him. There is not one gun law that can stop behavior. Laws don't stop behavior.

A recent study in Cook County Jail proved that criminals do not buy guns at stores, gun shows, or the Internet. All traceable.

So they would avoid a universal background check Obama keeps begging for.

It won't stop anything. Criminals do not obey any laws, but 20 armed teachers may make one think before he acts..
