Arm the teachers some say, harden the schools others say and I say none of it is necessary. I suggest at seven a.m. every prison or jail in america sends all of their inmates outside for the day and then we bus our kids into the jails and prisons for their day at school and at the end of the day the prisoners go back to their 'normal' lives.

We can't get much safer than schools in prisons. Who is going to get in there to shoot up the kids?
 
Not even logical.
 

I work at a school that had a shooting three years ago. Tons of protections have been put in place. Bulletproof glass, tons of cameras, auto-locking doors, etc. Unfortunately, every day I see ways a determined shooter could cause havoc.

You're right, everyone touting turning schools into jails is foolish.
 
Unfortunately tighter security at all schools with the federal government footing the bill is an answer....

1. more than one security officer at every school and grocery store

2. all doors locked so no one comes in WITHOUT being searched before class and most certainly during class hours.

3. Security officers should not be in uniform ........

4. Local law enforcement should be dispatched to schools during arrival times and end of school day to observe the outdoor perimeters extensively.

5. Most importantly take all assault weapons off the market ........

6.WHO is influencing these shooters?????????????
 
See post #4.
 
We could stop education at schools entirely and use online/computers to educate our children. That would stop school shootings.

It is as good as a solution as what you are offering.
 
I say there is nothing to worry about. Teenagers pick up fads all the time, they will get bored with this soon enough and move on.

Bored with their friends getting killed or they themselves getting shot? I don't think anyone gets over that "fad".

How about seek a solution from the past. Introduce conscription and russia can do for this generation of teenagers what vietnam did for its generation.

A war could be used to clear out the crazy people. The nuts would go to war, get shot and either die or get the nuttiness out of their system

My impression from reading the op of this thread is that the object is to seek a really absurd way of dealing with mass shootings.
 
Although it has been reported that Robb Elementary school had a good security plan; a security plan is only as good as its followed.

I want to know how the shooter was able to enter an unmanned door at the back of the school. The door should have been locked.
 

It's strange the lengths some people are willing to go to in order to ignore the elephant in the room.....the 400 million guns floating around and the ease of access to weapons of war.

They will blame trans people.
They will talk about doors.
They will bring up hardening potential targets as if that isn't basically every location in America.
They will call for armed guards while ignoring the reality that time and time again, security has been outgunned and outmaneuvered by shooters.
They will mention our justice system and not mention that we already imprison more people than any nation on the planet....by far.
They will claim it's all about mental health while refusing to acknowledge that is a worldwide issue and mass shootings simply aren't.

Literally anything other than doing something about guns.....the one clear outlier that is causing this carnage and will continue to do so in the future until some common sense takes over.
 
Lots of electronics would be assistance however I am talking at least 3 active bodies NOT IN UNIFORM on the grounds patrolling which I believe would be more effective. Yes to electronic surveillance as well.

Most importantly take all assault weapons off the market ........

Nobody is saying take away right to bear arms ........saying no one has a right to bear assault weapons.
 
Because 95% of the people who are responsible for "protecting" schools are educators and students, not highly trained security personnel. Stop kidding yourself, teachers and kids slip through security measures EVERY SINGLE DAY.

My children have been out of high school now for 10+ years prior to the Sandy Hook shooting and every door was locked and it was a large campus as it contained Jr High on one side and HS on the other. The front door had a camera and you had to ring the bell to get in and were directed to the front office to sign in by a security guard who was a retired police officer. I am not saying it was fool proof; but there was never an incident
 

Does that change the truth of my post? 95% of the people responsible for the day-to-day tasks needed to secure schools are educators and students and are not trained security professionals.

Wow. I am not being argumentative but locking doors do not need trained professionals
 
The perfect solution to school shootings is to abolish schools. Most Americans already seem to glean what little knowledge they possess from 'social media' and Holywood trash.

Sure you are. You posted your anecdote about your kid's school from 10 years ago as 'evidence". I posted my anecdote about my school which had a mass shooting three years ago and still has security lapses.

Believe it or not, I don't really care. I know what I see every day.

The OP itself is a joke. My answer was a joke. You could not see that?
