The football assistant coach Aaron Feis who was also a security person at the school and died blocking the kids with his body SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARMED.
According to Feis’ Facebook page, he lived in Coral Springs and was a fan of Ronda Rousey and Tim Tebow, the TV show “Duck Dynasty” and the movie “Faith of Our Fathers.” Among his posts were a quote from Billy Graham, “A coach will impact more young people in a year than the average person does in a lifetime,” and tributes to the U.S. military and an advertisement for a “Concealed Carry Jacket” with a handgun poking out of a pocket.
So Coach Feis Could have saved most of the kids…Coach Feis SHOULD HAVE saved all those people.
But Coach Feis WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY HIS LICENSED PISTOL.
That was a big mistake they made.
I agree with step 5...but this although this SOUNDS good, it is not only the military and cops that can shoot. Many cops fire their gun once a year to requalify, many military personnel were in logistics or other clerical jobs. We need trained people that can shoot straight. I shot at a cop qualifying range every week. I outshot 90% of them. And I was “just a salesman.”
Close all the schools.
Remove the ‘FREE FIRE ZONE’ signs.
The most important thing: stop publicizing and glorifying the shooters. Every time a school shooter’s face and name are broadcast on the MSM, the prospective next school shooter is pushed a little closer to action, to give his life meaning.
The LE professionals will know who he is, for study, but the MSM should get out of the business of goading future school shooters to action. After the first 24 hours or so, the shooters’ faces should not be shown, or only pixilated, and their names should be replaced by “the Parkland monster” or something similar.
Take the instant personal fame out of the equation, and the motivation will drop to nil.
Has anyone studied whether school shootings have increased since the gun-free zone idea was applied to them? As it sure seems that way to me!
Along with the FBI, those people who passed laws or regulations keeping Coach Feis from carrying his licensed pistol have blood on their hands.
May the children and grandchildren of these bureaucrats and politicians mock and ridicule them for the rest of their lives..
... or Vermont. Everyone has a gun and nobody shoots their neighbor.
But none of them is "simple" in execution.
Reinstate Christian prayers in the classroom. Do everything possible to rebuild the American family. Quit teaching deviancy and transgenderism. Build large reform schools for all cretins.
Until the politicians who create these free-fire zones are arrested and thrown in jail the killings will continue.
There are always maniacs who want to destroy. The politicians’ response is to create gun-free zones where law abiding citizens are disarmed so they can be attacked. By disarming law-abiding citizens the politicians wontedly empower and support those who murder them.
Do they really believe that someone who is willing to break the law and kill others will obey the law and not use a gun?
Tyrants use criminals and criminal actions to further their agenda.
Arm the teachers and security guards. Jail the politicians.
Democrats don’t want to solve the gun problem anymore than they want to solve DACA or chronic unemployment or voter fraud because it is how they get elected.
NOT
I've thought that the networks be required once a week to put up a National Cowards List of all these losers.
It’s a “simple” way to “eliminate school shootings overnight,” to quote the headline.
My point, if anyone missed it, is that there are no simple or easy solutions. The quest for a simple fix - like finding the “antidote” to a disease in “Star Trek” - is a distraction.
This author proposes a variety of measures - none of them a “simple step” - that could be useful. Other writers have mentioned additional good ideas. None of it will happen, in my opinion, because the institutional authorities of schooling are either ideologically opposed or just can’t be bothered.
