Having said this, I do not support having armed teachers in classrooms. In my opinion a better solution would be to have more security at schools, not allowing anyone inside a school campus without providing an ID and having the doors locked 24/7.

I work in a factory that deals primarily with cardboard. The factory runs from 7 to 3:30, and those doors are locked all day. If someone needs to come in they ring a loud buzzer.
If an insignificant factory can do this, then the protection of our children demand that schools do this too.
S&F and a whole bunch of these:

It is with an open mind that I have come to accept that the only way
.....To prevent full blown government tyranny is with an armed population.
Exactly what did you think would prevent it prior to this revelation..?
Owning a fire arm is a big responsibility and while it might be our right we should still make sure that only responsible, sane and law abiding citizens are the only ones able to buy them.
And it's this very subjective slippery slope that prevents any effective legislation or action from taking place.

I tried really hard to support the banning of assault rifles, but I try to keep an open mind about everything no matter how much of a liberal I might seem. I support the 2nd amendment and we should protect it.

I support background checks when purchasing a high powered rifle. Owning a fire arm is a big responsibility and while it might be our right we should still make sure that only responsible, sane and law abiding citizens are the only ones able to buy them.
I do not support an assault weapons ban. But I do support enforcing the current laws more strictly.
An armed population can secure and maintain its freedom.

Rifles have many uses, depending on where you live. Here in Texas I know a lot of people who live on a few acres and have to use rifles to defend their livestock from coyotes and other predators. They can also be used for hunting and also for self defense.
Our constitution gives us the right to bear arms.

Like I say; where do you draw the line in terms of 'self defense'?

Increased security is the obvious answer. Banning guns is clear, ridiculous agenda of high-up tyrants, which thankfully most of America sees through.
Obviously a gun needs an operator. People kill people.
The second amendment was placed there especially to stop tyrannic rule. That is the whole point.
They can't even be straight with us on what guns they found at Sandy Hook. However- soon after, the new assault weapon laws/bans come into play.
And if that last sentence is not your cup of tea, then at least realize that gun control is the least of America's problems. Sure, GUN massacres are terrible (sure, especially involving young kids), however- I can guarantee that thousands upon thousands more souls are lost to theft, automobile/machinery accidents, and prescription drugs.
