Common sense (and the Hatch Act!) prevent me from elaborating upon my own views in regards to this article. Nevertheless, wherever one stands on the political spectrum of gun control, from pacifist to ardent 2nd Amendment supporter, allowing guns in schools will certainly raise the eyebrows of even the most casual of political interests.
What I find most interesting about the article is that 58% of individuals polled believe that school employees who are licensed to carry a gun should be able to at school. Do you find this interesting? Perhaps surprising? I would like to say that I do.
Will this serve a bellwether to other states? Many additional states have similar legislation in the works.
Earn yourself some extra credit by commenting with your take on this. Is South Dakota's law a watershed moment for American political culture, or will it be ignored and forgotten without incident? There is so much to think about with this issue, and so many opinions to consider, let's get a conversation rolling about this.
