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.

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.
