5. Just copy civilized world...

0. Just make guns inaccessible to imbeciles, like the rest of the world does.

Problem solved.

1. Kids shouldn't go to schools in bunkers. In states that struggle annually to get supplies to the teachers, how are we suddenly tactically fortifying all schools? Difficult to turn a non-air conditioned trailer into the Pentagon.

2. The US, at best, pays lip service to mental health. It's great fodder for daytime talk, but no one really wants to touch it. It's merely another deflection skeet.

3. You join the force. You find yourself inside fluid crisis scene and mass casualty incident. Then tell us how you direct the orchestra.

4. More gasoline doesn't put a fire out. More crushing pressure won't set a broken bone. More guns don't prevent gun deaths.

If they did, the NRA wouldn't have banned them from their "thought and prayers" rally in Houston.

Especially item #1. I've read a dozen different articles addressing this school's security measures and protocol, including security personnel onhand. Oddly, it's the details associated with "armed" security where these articles become vague and vary significantly.

School armies and arming staff and faculty will only result in more gun deaths. We need fewer guns, not more to stop making schools into killing zones.

[quote]Utilizing combat veterans law enforcement and civilians each school has at least a 3-7 individual team armed with rifles and handguns on school grounds when students are present[/quote]

Do you realize how many schools there are in America? Who is going to pay for that type of protection?

[quote]Giving all school staff the option to carry a firearm. Giving the same training as the the individuals in suggestion 1 all school staff has the opportunity to carry a hand gun on school grounds. If this option is taken a stipend for training additional training and ammunition must be provided as well as for risk assessment. [/quote]

Again, who will pay for this? How will will assure that such teachers will have the ability to use a fireman arm at a moment's notice yet keep them safely away from their own students?

(Make schools harder to target is a good idea, it's the utilization of guns that makes that particular method bad)

I can't help but notice that absolutely non of your ideas include anything that makes it harder or even better impossible for someone with plans to do this type of thing to get their hands on a fire arm.

Also as someone who went to school in 2018 when there where basically armed officers everywhere 1 and 4 make the school environment not only feel kind of threatening but also unsafe, uncomfortable, and make it a bit harder to learn. In practice it doesn't achieve the desired effect, it might deter shooters, but at the same time I can testify it essentially defeats the purpose of going to public school in the first place and you'd feel safer and likely learn more at home.

Also did I mention that 1 and 4 not only make it feel more dangerous but actually make it more dangerous. No guarantee that those weapons stay in the possession of those who are authorized to use them as well as no guarantee an innocent is not shot or worse killed as well as no guarantee that those guns are used properly.

You'd be better off keeping weapons off the school grounds. Can't hurt anyone if there's nothing to hurt them with. Better than making it easier to hurt it kill people.

You could just see other countries with low to none schools mass shootings, or low to none mass shootings and try to find out what they are doing right.
If it works for them, maybe it will for you?

Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M

Right. Because is there anything more scary than a classroom without guns?

Plan B: Do what the rest of the world does and make it difficult for demented serial killers to access firearms...

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

Oklahoma made it legal for school employees to have guns and ammo on campuses . They have to take safety training etc and nobody but the administrators know who has them

Warning:Enter school grounds without authorisation You Will Be Shot

romell · 51-55, M

Simple just ban guns n watch if it has desired effects

Paladin · 56-60, M

Looks like a good list that could have a positive impact. I hate the idea of having to turn our schools into armed encampments, but for the safety of the children, it may be needed. But than you have to wonder if the crazed gunmen will decide to choose other targets where people gather, such as playgrounds, churches, movie theaters, playgrounds, etc.

I agree with a lot of that but the second point. Affordable care how? Will it come from my taxes? That honestly sounds like socialized healthcare and if I wanted that I'd move to the UK

This "hard target" stuff is such transparent bullshit and the latest right wing attempt to pretend to care.

I don't like number four. It puts the responsibility on the shoulders of the overworked teaching staff. Somebody around here made it clear recently that most teachers don't want that.
