That’s the ONLY thing that will work.
It’s such a no brainier to put guards at schools, and allow teachers to carry but of course the left wont give in to that because it goes against their narrative.
Many teachers and cops knew this kid was trouble - but everyone had a HEAVY public education, bureaucratic mindset - especially the school. admin Kept shuffling him around, ignored his many threats, etc, cops and FBI also dropped the ball.
Its clear to me the teachers and school system have the most blame. No one wants to say this publicly though.
The solution is for teachers and local L.E.O. to have much more leeway, freedom, and responsibility to deal with troubled kids and people at a local level. Let them decide what they need to do.

Yes! They’re finally saying it. How long have we been saying it here? Maybe they’re finally paying attention.
Not only are schools soft targets, but there are signs everywhere saying the school is a gun free zone. Might as well put a sign on the door saying, “crazed murderers welcome.”
Just let teachers with CCW permits carry in school.
That doesn’t cost a penny.
I’m all for armed guards in schools but it won’t prevent all possible s school shootings. The two kids in Jonesboro, Arkansas were in a wooded area and picked off kids and teachers during recess.
Jaz - this is related... a student was denied voice on CNN for making the same suggestions:
CNN aired a town hall on the Florida school shooting with Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) that included NRA’s Dana Loesch and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel that was moderated by Jake Tapper. Students and parents asked questions about gun control and school safety.
“I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions,” Haab said.
“Colton Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC who shielded classmates in the midst of terror says he did not get to share his experience,” WPLG’s Janine Stanwood explained.
“Colton wrote questions about school safety, suggested using veterans as armed school security guards but claims CNN wanted him to ask a scripted question instead so he decided not to go,” Stanwood reported.
You can’t put armed guards in schools! That would take money away from football!!/S
Priorities are not with student safety. It it were, there would not be millions of illegal alien students in US schools.
That plus repeal of the gun free zone act will go far in solving this problem. Plus there are spiritual aspects that need fixing overall.
