Keep Calm and Carry On


Throughout Texas, public schools have recently been investing in small arms training and implementation in public schools, specifically in highschools.

In Harrold County, Texas, the board of trustees for education has given its consent for certain faculty and staff members to now legally carry concealed firearms at all times. When questioned about Harrold county, Rick Perry supported this act by stating and restating that the responsibility of deciding whether or not to allow guns in schools should be decided by individual districts, also encouraging us Texans not to overreact and jump on the Federal Government’s bandwagon of gun control.

This response to violent tragedy is long overdue if you ask me. Columbine should’ve been the point when we started arming all school staff, creating an environment of defense rather than vulnerability; there is a reason why no one robs police stations or gun shops…

There have been talks throughout the country about creating a national database for crazy people, so we can better keep tabs on them and thereby minimize these kinds of killings. I say let’s not wait for the Federal government to get around to it, I mean this is Texas for heaven’s sake, we don’t wait for crap. At the very least we’ll be able to keep unstable people from buying guns in Texas, and not to mention, when coupled with this new policy of arming teachers, Texas should be a much safer place.

The obviously lazy and/or corrupt Federal Government is inept when it comes to solving problems instead of taxing them. Not to say that our Texas Government is any different, but when it comes to Texas Government we have much more say in the matter, in the sense that when it steps out of line we don’t have to catch a plane to D.C. to lynch somebody.

Let’s solve problems and make Texas an even safer place to live.

Wise up and Rise up!
