Time to make schools what they have always been at heart ……. Prisons
We have armed guards in Banks to protect money. But why dont we have them in schools as well? What is more important???
We need to figure out WHY someone would do this.
When I was a kid growing up we had access to guns but not in a million years would anyone ever think of doing this. What has changed?
Gun control would not have prevented this and the shooting in Buffalo, NY has the strictest gun laws in the nation yet it still happened has the shooter was able to buy an gun that was already banned in that state in the state of NY and pass a background test. The shooter in TX also passed a background test and had no history of mental illness and no criminal history. So he was able to buy a gun. Instead of blaming the NRA we need to make the local police department fully accountable for their failure. So please tell me how is this the NRA'S fault??????? Stop thinking we live in LALA land and live in safe clouds we do not.
No. How about raising the minimum age to purchase firearms? The majority of these shootings are committed by males under 21
Of course more security would act as a deterrent. If a psycho has a choice between attacking a school with armed security versus without, which school do you think they are going to pick?
School shootings only happen in America.
27 school shootings so far this year is 5 each month with 2 extra and it's only May.
You understand why the rest of world think Americans are Stupid like Trump.
American parents protest at school meetings about? A: 27 school shootings this year B: Masks.
Lets turn schools into prisons…
Texas being an open carry state…the Pricipal, Teachers, or even the Janitors should be carrying a gun. Anyone dumb enough to go into a school with every adult carrying a gun would be suicidal.
Locked gates, locked doors, security checkpoints at all entrances, prohibiting loitering outside of schools. Theirs so much that could be done but all "They" do is consider and maybe's and perhaps and we'll see if it's possible 🙄
Don't forget playgrounds … and parks … and churches … and cinemas … and rock concerts … and shopping malls … and universities … and the streets of course.
There haven't been any mass shootings in prisons (not yet anyway) so maybe that's the security model to follow , then again guns are strictly controlled in prison so it's not a fair comparison. Sorry , I forgot about Attica , so scratch that too.
Another bandaid solution so everyone will stop talking about the elephant in the room.
Why don't you guys put metal detectors or whatever is used to detect weapons in sschool?
Don`t think an overweight guy with a cowboy hat will help much but give it a try.
Schools are NOT a military base or a military objective.
The main problem is the ease to get people killers (long guns or military/assault guns)
KIDS are protected ONLY if the community is safe.
Communities will be safe or safer if they feel and live and are seeing a WORTHY life or future to live on/in. Becuase they will invest in creating a safe environment around them.
So the Question IS do we live in a life with a worthy future? A future that I want for my kids?
Do changes need to be made?
Which ones?
How can it be made?
maybe stop giving money to Ukraine and start employing security guards outside all schools,. 100billion already spent in Ukraine and NATO this year
There is no way to prevent something from happening, anything from happening all the time, in every situation. Yet there are certainly ways to reduce the occurrence, to deter things from happening, to start conversation in communities. School guards are effective with regard deterrence and being able to notify school administrators or the authorities, as seems evidently obvious to most people.
Not a rifle,a machine gun AR15, Ak-47 UZi made for war. You never go deer hunting,with an AR-15 . Military weapons need to be banned,just like hand grenades or bazookas
Schools should be protected from all dangers.
Maybe not sell weapons of war to the general public.
maybe just locking the doors might help.
First time gun buyers must show certification of safety training, repeated regularly.
Propaganda at it's finest 👌 🤣
If you cared about the children instead of using them as a means of disarmament. Harden the schools with better security measures and place police 🚔 in EVERY school.
Why is your solution always to subvert the constitution? Other options exist if you actually cared about the children.
What you are really after is a submissive, defenseless populace.
I Don't think so, Perhaps Controlling Gun's From Peoples Hands Will, But Will The Allied Politicians And Weapons Industries Allowed That To Happen? I Don't Think So. Because After Every Mass Shootings The Politicians They Came Up With The Solution Of Arming More People like In The Places Where The Shooting Take place, Just Like What They Have Said Now " Arming Including Teachers " To Benefit Weapons Industries At The Cost Of Ordinary Citizens, How Sad.
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 4 sentadillas son unos KISSSSSS.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesp abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k
Armed guards only will prevent these shootings. No politics needed. Give our kids the security of government officials.
I have also a question : Would arming the police force will stop police being killed ?
Or,let's arm all soldiers,this way the battlefield will be more safe.
From American words of wisdom.
police officers did not want to risk their lives to protect Latino children.
Abbott is guilty of facilitating mass murder. The republican party is blocking sensible gun laws
Nope.
