Except maybe doing a door to door confiscation of all fireams in America, at the point of a gun by a Biden genocidal police state.
Murderous tyrants love their disarmed citizens, to death (aka Democide.)

The shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, was another in a long line of senseless tragedies involving guns and schools. That it involves little children is almost beyond our capacity to bear.
What is the government’s responsibility in dealing with this horrific incident?
Everyone wants to do something. Everyone demands action. But far and away the most popular “solution” that comes out of any tragedy like this is tasking the government with finding a way to control gun ownership.
Calls for gun registration in the wake of an 18-year-old kid murdering 21 people is ludicrous and a transparently useless political act.
Seizing guns from the mentally ill or preventing them from buying weapons is usually not an option. The problem has always been determining who is mentally ill and would pose a threat to themselves or society. The enforcement of those laws has been inconsistent and haphazard. Someone shouldn’t be denied their Second Amendment rights because they were prescribed medicine to combat depression.
On the flip side, some mentally ill people function in society as perfectly normal, productive citizens. Why should they be denied the right to bear arms?
Gun registration would not have prevented the tragedy in Uvalde. So why are left-wing politicians pretending that if only Republicans had supported gun registration, the tragedy could have been avoided?

Let's start with locking school doors. Students must gain entrance in a main area, buzzed in and proceed thru metal detector and then buzzed thru the door to the school.
A war on guns will be as successful as the war on drugs
Given that the majority of Republicans in Washington have no BALLs, they should gun control back in the faces of Democrats by asking what law they are proposing would have stopped the shooting yesterday ??
Obviously no laws would have worked, the only possible gun control laws that might work would be the total confiscation of guns, my strategy would be to push the Democrats into a corner and get them to admit their true goal is total gun confiscation.
While doing this, I would continually remind the liberals that Hunter Biden broke a number of gun laws and was never prosecuted.
Take down the laughable “Gun Free Zone” signs and replace them with “We Encourage Our Staff to Pack”.
A security guard at the door might have helped. Was the kid familiar with the school?
“Let’s start with locking school doors”
~~~
Not rocket science.
Even many decades back when I was in school, all the doors were locked from the outside except the main entrance.
That’s obviously nothing close to fool-proof. If anyone went out, someone could just wait for the doors to open. Also, they were made from glass, so a shooter could easily breach them.
It’s sad to think that schools should need to be built like a fortresses, but I tend to agree with the statement I heard floated yesterday, that if there is only one way in and an armed officer is visible, the chance of an attack goes down drastically. The phrase I heard used is that most criminals take the path of least resistance. At the very least, don’t make it easy.
And complete gun confiscation is impossible.
It never can or will happen.
And anyone bent on killing will find other ways to do it if they can’t get a gun.
We’ve all read news reports of the multitude of ways that murderers do this.
Simple common sense security precautions, screened entry into schools, armed personnel in the schools.
screened entrance.
That’s my entire point, force the Democrats to defend the impossible, remind them that the President’s son broke gun control laws and nothing was done.
Gun control laws mean nothing without enforcement, Hunter Biden is a prime example.
We have apartment projects in my area. The security is awesome. Simple double doored entrance with phone system to enter.
Interesting you bring up ‘war on drugs’.
Among the odd pieces of this story....the kid’s mother appears to have been an addict, and they were only saying at Grandma’s place because no other potential home setting.
The kid? Fortnite-player, was going nowhere in school...appears to have a lesser IQ problem, no father-figure in the homelife.
Except maybe doing a door to door confiscation of all fireams in America, at the point of a gun by a Biden genocidal police state.
IF you accept the current background check framework: Nobody turning 18 gets a real background check unless he already has an adult criminal history. Guys are just turning 18 and buying shit without any kind of vetting. A whole lot of trouble can happen before turning 18 that creates no criminal record. Here you go: Up to three years extended background would be made available and utilized. So at age 18, school records back to age 15 would have to be provided. 19:16, 20:17, Age 21, none. Parental or military supervisor approval required up to age 21.
The Uvalde elementary school looks to have each classroom open onto a covered outside walkway.
There doesn’t appear to be a way to have a single controlled entrance.
The individual doors could be locked though.
One solution is that we need more guns, not less. Arm all the teachers who are willing and able to carry firearms and provide them with proper training and the weapons also. These greaseballs will think charger about attacking hard targets instead of unarmed kids.
You make an excellent point. We have done everything we can as a society to destroy things like the church and the Boy Scouts, entities/organizations/activities that *might* achieve some functionality in terms of getting disaffected kids to feel like they *belong*...while things like social media, despite its promise of connectivity, I believe makes kids feel like they “disbelong”. Yes, there is the interconnectivity, but there is also the rejection of personal contact and comradery. Maybe I’m being naive, but I think there’s a there there.
