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?

1. Why wasn’t that entry door secured at that school in Uvalde?

2. Why wasn’t there armed staff (a legal option in Texas) or at the very least, an armed Resource Officer?

EVERY school in the US must have secured, controlled-entry doors and armed good guys.
Period!

That’s how you stop school shootings.
It works every time it has been tried.

Parents: check out your kid’s school:

Entry doors not secured?
Take them out of school!

No armed Resource Officer or Staff?
Take them out of school!

@Montanaman the cops (who are very well funded, armed, and experienced) engaged with the shooter before They got in. What is a resource officer with a gun going to do that the cops couldn’t?

@NoahB stop him from the inside. Double tap center mass. Body armor or not, it's gonna take him down.

@Montanaman the shooter crashed his car and fought his way in. Cops did shoot at him but he was heavily armed and armored. Think your way over simplifying how fire fights work
