<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Barry in Windsor, Ohio. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. How are you doing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, great, Rush. What a great honor it is to talk to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I appreciate that. I\u2019m glad you made it through.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I am too. Hey, you know, in this country, we guard, you know, our money, our courthouses, you made all these spot-on points, especially sporting events, we guard them with armed security. Why can\u2019t we do that with our kids, Rush? We\u2019re paying these high sporting event ticket prices to —<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: I know. I made this point last week. I made this point yesterday on the TV show. We have armed security at every public entity that you can think of. We have it at sporting events. We have it at airports. We have it wherever. We have armed security. We have metal detectors. We have any number of things, because we know that these places are likely —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Targets.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, exactly. They\u2019re likely targets because they have been in the past. But, for some reason, when you get to schools, because there are children in there, Barry, there\u2019s children in there, and we can\u2019t have weapons in the schools. Oh, that\u2019s horrible, that\u2019s like admitting defeat. We can\u2019t do that. It\u2019s because of the children. And it\u2019s absurd. This is why the — you know, the concealed carry idea — I\u2019m calling it the Limbaugh School Safety Solution, and I\u2019m expecting a lot of people to be signing on to it as time goes on. It\u2019s the only thing that makes any sense, especially if it works in other places like you are discussing here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Instead of paying these high prices to athletes, half of which hate us — I won\u2019t say half, but a fraction of them hate this country, let\u2019s give them to the real heroes in this country and that\u2019s ex-law enforcement and ex-military, they\u2019re trained in weaponry and would be more than happy to protect our kids, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. I know. It doesn\u2019t make any sense. The only argument against it is that — I think what they believe is that to do so would be admitting defeat in a sense, which is, again, the point that I\u2019m trying to make. Look, it\u2019s a very cold and stark reality to state it. But this is what our country has become.<\/p>\n
Now, you can like it or not, and you can wish it weren\u2019t so, and you can hope that Congress could pass a law or that we could kick the NRA\u2019s butt or do something. But all that\u2019s just wishful thinking, pipe dreams. That\u2019s just dreaming. It is a reality that we don\u2019t want to face.<\/p>\n
We have permitted somehow our schools to become targets, and we\u2019re not protecting them because it would be a capitulation I think people think. And it\u2019s a mistake. It\u2019s the solution. But I don\u2019t mean everybody and the students carrying and every teacher. You don\u2019t need that. You just need a deterrent.<\/p>\n
