You are scream gun control

In light of everything that happened in New York and more importantly Texas I will propose a 4 way approach to this that will prevent and actually reduce casualties in these events that doesn’t involve the restriction of liberty.
1 make schools hard target! 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 these individuals will be in high visibility uniform and heavily trained in tactics of threat termination.

2 is an over haul of the mental health system with better communication between providers and government prohibiting individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others. While providing better care and resources for research. Also a focus on affordable care for the individuals that need it.

3 changes in law enforcement 1. any chase should be diverted away from school zones. 2. The reversal of the Castle Rock decision and those that have followed stating that law enforcement has no duty to act or protect the public.

4. 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.

These are not feel good actions like gun these are hard proven actions that will reduce the numbers of repeating this again as well as having a better response saving lives.

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.

@BizSuitStacy Nobody knows where the school's RSO was. And they were doing construction on the school while school was in session, leaving the rear of the school open and in violation of state mandates regarding security measures during school hours. The perp just walked right in and the school had no advanced notice and no RSO to help them and the local PD sent no officers there to help knowing a shooter was in the immediate vicinity.
@TexChik Thank you for the update. I've read several "news articles" about the shooting and finding details regarding the security at the school are vague, or vary widely from story to story. Given these are liberal news reports, I can assume there were huge security gaps, and inadequate personnel available to stop the carnage before it began.

@BizSuitStacy The Uvalde police had no idea what to do and apparently no stomach to do it.
@TexChik horrible.

@PatKirby I hadnt heard how many rounds he took in the shield but I did hear his skull was grazed
@PatKirby just an opinion. The more I hear about this, the more I wonder.

@PatKirby The head of the Texas State Police (Department of Public Safety or DPS) just made a press conference and in it said the Uvalde police acted inappropriately in sitting by and allowing the gunman to have free reign to kill those babies.
