"when it comes to schools, putting that kind of security into place is like a certification of a police state EVEN THOUGH just about every government building and sports arena today uses it."

They are correct. Using this approach is turning our nation into a police state. It's already happening and we are quite far down that road. Lets just say we do this at the school. The shooters would just go to the school and shoot people outside going in or they would pick a different venue like a football game where the security is not hardened at all.

There is a very simple solution to mass shootings but people have there heads so far up their rear ends with liberalism and total ignorance of firearms there is little hope of the real solution ever being implemented.

Bottom line we have taught people to do exactly the wrong thing when a mass shooter goes on a rampage. We have taught people to just wait to die, and they do. A lone gunman is litterally the easiest mass murderer to stop. They can only look one way, they can only shoot one way. Their hands are busy and they are def from firing the first shot so they have almost zero situational awareness. I'm not going to go any further.

Lockdown drills in schools. Teaching our kids to be sitting ducks. Complacent. Easy targets. Don’t fight back. The last two generations have been told not to fight back.

The schools not notifying LE about threats made by students to others.

LE not investigating threats that ARE reported.

Schools required to keep students who threaten other students/people, in the school. No regard to all the normal students and their education/lives.

There’s a ton of issues, with the 2nd A being the least of of the problem/cause.

I used to tell my students (middle/high school), during lockdown drills, this is what we have to do for the “drill” but if it were actually happening, we wouldn’t be sitting ducks and just follow my instructions. They trusted me and I knew they’d follow me.

I told my own kids to do the same. If it’s a “drill” follow the drill protocol and if it’s real, then run/fight. Cell phones are wonderful.They’re out of school now (two still in college) so not an issue anymore in the school setting other than college and it’s been rare for college lockdown.

When my kids were in high school, youngest a year and a half ago, they’d text me when there was a lockdown or shelter in place “drill” to see if it was real and what to do.

We’ve allowed the media/libs to dictate everything for so long I hope we finally stop it when it comes to school shootings.
