So if gun control isn’t the solution what is?

Honest question. I’m pro 2nd amendment but this isn’t sustainable. Arming the teachers isn’t going to help. The guy was wearing body armor, even the cops couldn’t stop him from getting in. More money for cops obviously isn’t the solution for the same reason. This isn’t the first time a shooter wore body armor. A guy had a gun and returned fire in buffalo but the shooter wore body armor there too.

So honestly what is to be done?

Put in a rapid response force on school grounds when school is in session. Make it a death sentence to attack a school. Hardened targets utilizing veterans and law enforcement training is already there keeping their skills sharp is necessary and cheaper than training a guy with minimal firearm training. As far as body armor is concerned steel core m855 (green tip) can go through most body armor*

@Ozuye502 the cops engaged with the shooter before he got in. Sincerely don’t think grafting a military security apparatus to every school is practical or going to actually work

@NoahB ok I’m talking about 3-5 individuals who have the ability and skill set to put down a threat if necessary. Now I know it will never be perfect but the knowledge of their existence is enough to deter it in the loading screen.

Now I think a full over haul of the metal health system is also necessary. now I am not too knowledgeable in that field but I do think that there should be some sort of fail safe when a person is prescribed certain medications or has gone through some sort of treatment for violent behavior is barred from owning a firearm.

@Ozuye502 apparently this kid had a history of violent behavior so some stronger mental health safety nets could actually work

@NoahB not surprised honestly!

Yeah. You gotta be pretty sick in the head to do something like this@Ozuye502

@Ozuye502 Schools are already militarized enough, adding more armed guards won’t help.
