Who is politically hijacking school safety?

Kevin Simpson and Zahira Torres write in today's Denver Post that school safety has been politically hijacked. That is certainly true here in Colorado. Democrats, funded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, and other wealthy patrons, have made gun control one of the major planks in their platform. Conservatives and libertarians have stood up for Second Amendment rights.

Of course, the way the Post writers frame it, the ones who are politically hijacking the issue are the people who are calling for more security equipment like surveillance cameras, entrance buzzers, and metal detectors. Not even mentioned in the article are the issues of adding more police (Arapahoe High School has 2100 students and only one Deputy Sheriff Resource Officer) and allowing school employees to conceal carry.
