While idiot lawmakers like Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) prepare to offer gun bans, ammo bans and laws that have already been tried and spectacularly failed, on a federal level, state officials, teachers, and citizens around the country are actively taking steps to train, arms themselves and defend our nation's school children.
