Hero Aaron Feis, the Disarmed School Guard

Aaron Feis Hero Football Coach Died Shielding Student from Shooter
"He leaves behind his wife, Melissa Ann Feis and their 8-year-old daughter named, Arielle Lilly."

"According to a statement from the school, Aaron Feis:

‘selflessly shielded students from the shooter when he was shot. He died a hero and he will forever be in our hearts and memories.”

Patrick Jakeway  "This raises the question of why only one person was trained and armed to fight back against an assailant.  One reason is that the "Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990," originally passed as part of the Budget Control Act of 1990, bars school personnel from arming themselves.  18 USC § 922(q)(2)(A) states:

It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.

. . . "What would have happened if Aaron Feis had had a a Glock on his hip when the Code Red went off?  Two cases from the last several years serve as pertinent compare-contrast examples.

"On May 3, 2015, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi attacked the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas where a free speech event was being held with about 150 people in attendance.  Simpson and Soofi were armed with three pistols and three semi-automatic assault rifles.  Despite being heavily outmatched in firepower, a single police officer working as a security guard at the event armed only with a .45-caliber Glock pistol shot and wounded the attackers and stopped the attack without any loss of life.  Contrast this to the attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine office in Paris on January 7, 2015.  Heavily armed men attacked Charlie Hebdo where they shot and killed 11 people and wounded many others.  The first responder was a bicycle cop named Ahmed Merabet.  As with Aaron Feis, Merabet had been disarmed by his government, as France has some the strictest gun control laws in the world, much stricter than those now being emotionally advocated in the United States.  Merabet was shot and wounded and lay helpless to defend himself against his AK-47-wielding attackers, who then calmly walked over and shot him dead in the street." . . .

"Aaron Feis was ready, but he had been unconstitutionally disarmed.  How often must we watch innocent children die before we realize that the illusions of weaponless dreamers aid evil men?"
