The Israelis have guards at their schools, and teachers armed as well. They don’t have school shootings.
Every state here in the US has National Guard units.
Detach x number of personnel per month, on a rotating basis, for guard duty at schools, either in uniform, or undercover. There’s more than enough personnel to put at least one or two guards at all the schools in any given state. If folks get nervous about the guns near schools, then keep them concealed.
We have Air Marshalls since 9-11-01. Use the same idea for schools. That schools are left defenseless “gun free zones” is absolutely unforgivable.
Guys with training, kevlar, and a weapon to interdict a potential shooter - outside the school.
Arm the principle as well - mandatory handgun or longarm training if you hold that post. In ADDITION to the taser and mace scenario you outlined.
The only way to stop lethal force is with lethal force.
Much talk about the teachers “trying to protect the children by shielding them with their bodies” on the radio and TV broadcasts.
My question is this - how are you protecting ANYTHING if you are not armed? All you are is a dead shield and the person you try to “protect” is also dead.
