I just sent your proposal to allow teachers to be armed to both our Senators and my Congressman.

We do not need this kind of "police state".

Your second proposal is right on! Restrict access to one point. Put bullet proof doors on the classrooms and most importantly and the single thing that will be most effective, let teachers and school staff who have CHLs carry at school!

If we don't offer solutions, then you'll lose a lot more than the right to enter a public school without a search.

Charles,
I couldn't agree more that we need to offer solutions and I applaud your attempt to do so. Further gun control and mental health proposals really won't solve this problem. Doing something to harden the schools will.

At the same time, a solution that leads to TSA type results is not a solution that I want to see any more than the gun control solutions. And I do appreciate that you pointed out the cost of your first solution to suggest that it really isn't feasible.

The solution I want to pitch is your second one. It is one that will reduce mass killings in schools and should not lead to TSA type results.

So I think we agree much more than disagree.
