  1. Metal Detectors In Every School

  2. Enforce Everything

  3. Perform Active Shooter Drills

  4. Reinforce Doors, Windows, Buses, Locks

  5. Recruit Retired Military & Law Enforcement

  6. Arm All Appropriate Personnel

Good point. There’s a lot of issues that haven’t been resolved.

OK, but I have another approach.

Hold the Superintendent of Schools, the County Sheriff, the local Social Services Administrator, and the SAIC FBI responsible for dereliction of duty and Negligence.

Cruz was a known threat by all as has been well-documented. If they could nit stop this man, then they can stop no one.

LOTS of freepers have told me they don’t want me in a battle with them cause i have little experience with guns.

Official training courses. Maybe 18 times to a range.

Do these same freepers think teachers with a few trips to the range and a gun course are gonna make a difference in an active firefight?

Just wondering.

BTW, witnessed obama’s sons i a shoot out in brownsville in brooklyn a few months ago.

Happened RIGHT behind my car. I didn’t even drive off, they were shooting so badly :)

Basically barely off the ground and shooting behind themselves without looking.

Oh, my rear tires may have died in the shootout and I would have had a wake and funeral, but NOTHING higher than two feet was gonna get hit :)

Was like a free, bad, action movie.

How can the police make money if they’re protecting schools instead of handing out speeding tickets?

Private school or home schooling is the only way for now. Even if they arm schools the indoctrination will continue. Besides, the first time one of the armed public school teachers goes beserk and starts shooting kids they will have their gun control and gun consification goals reached.

“Reopen the mental hospitals”

ABSOLUTELY.! Get these lunatics committed before they hurt someone, just like we used to do before the GD Democrats opened the doors to every asylum 40 years ago.

It would also clean up American cities by getting all the crazy bums off the streets.

My wife teaches at a public middle school. In every class there are two or three absolute sh*thead kids who ruin everything for everyone, whom she can barely control.

Forcing good kids to be at the mercy of these bums and malcontents and deliquents is the problem. They need to be put in special schools with drill sergeants and work details.

End of rant.

The fact that they are allowed to do it will be a deterrent to a firefight ever happening. That is the critical point.

You make a good point about arming teachers. The areas of our country where this would work are probably already pretty safe. Since ost public educators are libtards there will likely be few that step up to the plate and become armed defenders. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Teachers are a “constant”, predictable part of the environment. Now recruiting grandparents is probably a much better idea. Grandparent volunteers would be much less predictable. There would likely be enough that the faces, times, and dates would be all over the map. And it would cost much less. IMHO this is a solution which would actually be effective. Unfortunately it will be tried only in places that are already pretty safe because they have already allowed teachers to carry (Oklahoma or Texas for instance).

This is my take. My wife and I are 64 but we’ve said for decades that if we had children now there is no question we would home school. And with all of the available resources on the internet today to help home schoolers, public schools should be abolished. It had its time. That time has passed.

That is not really the point. Just knowing there are armed people in the school will minimize school shootings.

The school shooter in Los Angeles over a decade ago was seen on security cameras passing up schools which had armed guards, until he found one that was "gun free".

They might be mentally ill but they are not suicidal or stupid. Cruz wanted to kill and to live afterward so he could be a media event.

Clearly the best solution but the Rats will never relinquish their stranglehold on the indoctrination of the young. Snowball’s chance in hell.

I was asking more than making a point.

I didn’t know the answer.

Thanks for the reply :)

Makana, you can’t stop them these days. The police Crisis Intervention Teams won’t involuntarily hold any lunatic unless they are about to jump off a building or already have taken a hostage. The civil rights of the crazies trump the civil rights of the normals.
