Have you noticed that nothing ever gets done about gun violence? ~

It's sadly funny how every time one of these mass shootings occurs, people get all worked up for about a week, wringing hands about gun laws and such, but nothing gets done or even initiated. Then other news comes along and they go back to sleep until the next one happens, and they get all worked up for about a week, and again, nothing gets done or initiated, and the pattern is repeated as other news comes along and they go back to sleep until the next one occurs, and so on, and so on, and so on. Now here we are, almost 10 years since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and 23 years since Columbine High School, to give two examples, and nothing has changed.

It all just gets filed under Sh*t Happens.

Well before you jump on guns what is wrong with my idea which is to follow the Uvalde Board of Education safety plan which was in place to deter just such an incident. If they has simply followed their own safety plan which you can find online this likely would have been prevented.

Pay particular attention to number 17

17. LOCKED CLASSROOM DOOR POLICY – Teachers are instructed to keep their classroom
doors closed and locked at all times. Barriers are not to be used. Substitutes shall follow the
same policy, with campuses ensuring they have access to the classrooms they need
throughout the day. The Standard Response Protocol procedures are on the back of all of
our badges issued to substitute teachers.

Also the policy states: Secondary campuses have staff who patrol door entrances, parking
lots and perimeters of the campuses.

So an intruder would have to get through at least 2 locked doors if they followed their own policy.

Why not lock the door instead of coming after my second amendment rights.

@Johnson212 I wasn't jumping on guns, whatever that even means. I was just pointing out the cycle of nothing being done about these shootings.

@RedBaron yes we have been saying over and over to lock the door but they still dont, guess we are not good at learning lessons
