Nonetheless, as George Orwell said, "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." I'm unwilling to entrust my own sister, an elementary school teacher, who is pretty much a sheep, to take responsibility for bodyguarding schoolchildren. We need well trained, "rough men", not schoolmarms and bureaucrats, to intercede and kill assailants of schoolchildren.
