A Revolution in how we secure our schools is needed.

There are more guns than registered vehicles in America, more guns than the number of citizens and more school shootings than any country in the world. Unfortunately, these shootings will eventually eliminate many of our so-called rights, in particular, the right to freely move.  Just as we are stopped, questioned and frisked when entering an airport or courthouse or any government building in Washington, police will be doing the same on our nation's sidewalks and highways, it is the only answer to the out of control ease of carrying a loaded weapon in or near our thousands of schools and open public areas in America.  I despise being profiled, questioned, stopped and frisked, but what else can government do in the face of the all powerful NRA's lobbyists who promote guns for all at any place and at any time?  America is demanding an END to the gun violence, yet all the NRA wants is more arms and more ammunition.  Stop and Frisk is sadly inevitable unless the NRA stops believing "keep and bear" muzzle loaded muskets extrapolates to Glocks and automatic weapons. It's time another amendment is added, one that protects us against ourselves.
