Note that this moderate still wants to put armed guards in every school (graf 14) in the country, which is unnecessary, kind of insane and a big shift of the national Overton windowhttps://nyti.ms/2BI9ytR

Agreed, though his logic is compelling: we do it with banks, we surround the things we love with guns, and we don't actually love our kids nearly as much as we love banks

I don’t agree with the logic at all, assuming as it does that armed guards are the only meaningful sign of “love. Also, banks are at much greater risk of violent crime (robbery) than schools are of shootings. Securitizing schools is a terrible road to go down
