I just don't get why one would be against this "last line of defense"? I would take it over not having one.
Same question I posed to miami_fan - What is your solution? Are you more in the camp of increased gun control or more get rid of most guns?

I don't know the solution. Just pointing out how fucked up this country is that the solution is a heavily armed security force to keep watch out while your child gets baptized.
For what it's worth, it's probably not a bad solution for synagogues these days. Or black churches, mosques, Sikh temples, etc. They've become targets by terrorists lately and the government is not interested in stopping terrorists of that ideology.
