What can be done to protect children from school shootings immediately?

@BearDownChicago so adults are too lenient and irresponsible with gun storage. I agree and have personal stories on that note, but. Kids can also be sneaky, and find ways to get access without their parents or whatever being aware. And accidents happen. What more should be done by the school campuses?

@Notsimilarreally it should have never been brought on campus. I applaud the HS for the systems they put in place but assume there was no metal detector to catch it. But properly handling storing and securing a weapon is number one. Kids are sneaky. But I could not imagine my kids getting to mine with the proper precautions.

@BearDownChicago did you read that this 14 yo old on Georgia, his father bought him the gun for Christmas? Gun culture is too engrained in Americans. No parent thinks their kid is going to go shoot up a school. And most parents are completely oblivious to what their child is going through socially. It's impossible to force every parent that owns guns or buys them for their children to be a responsible adult all the time in every aspect. I mean.... Lol.

@Notsimilarreally I agree with you and yes I read it. Why in the hell did he buy him a gun especially after the suspicions he had earlier. It is insane. I know laws have to be made that will apply to most. Not just the responsible. But you’d think it would be common sense. That gun should have never been in his hands and in that school

@BearDownChicago unfortunately there will always be a shortage of common sense in this world.

@Notsimilarreally that is so true unfortunately

The problem isn't unsecured guns in the household; was never a problem before school shootings (back when everyone had more guns and trigger locks didn't exist...)

The problem is that society teaches people to fear guns instead of respect them
