Every teacher in the building could have had a gun and if this kid pulled his gun out and fired with no warning, I doubt the armed teachers would have changed anything. I am a advocate of armed teachers or at least security guards but it won't stop this kind of shooting from happening. It would go a long way towards keeping it confined to one or two students but an unexpected attack cannot usually be stopped before the bad actor gets off at least one shot. Metal detectors at the doors would have gone a long way toward preventing this. Notice I am using the word stop when talking about the incident after it has begun and prevent when discussing before the kid is able to get the gun into the school. It is a darned shame we have come to this but we are quickly learning that metal detectors at the entrances to school may one day be as common as the water fountain.nightmare wrote:It should be obvious to anyone with common sense but unfortunately that's not so common these days.Oldgringo wrote:It seems that some of these so-called "Gun Free" safe zones are actually the least safe places to be...or am I stating the obvious?
