After the latest school shooting, this time in Florida, we have heard from the anti-conservative crowd, the pro-gun crowd, the concealed carry crowd and just about every position under the sun.
And they are all wrong.
The anti-conservative crowd says to get rid of all guns or guns of a certain size and make of gun. This comes from the same people who say deporting several million people is impossible because there are too many illegals. If the can't get rid of say, 10,000,000 how are they going to find and dispose 10 times 10,000,000, especially since guns are harder to find than an actual person?
Then you have those who say to arm school employees to the max.
Unless those school employees who armed are never named, whose names are highly top secret, this plan won't work because the shooter thugs will just go where the Armed employees are not or they will take out the armed employees first.
So, what to do?
The "average" school begins and ends in less than 6 minutes, the reality is that if there is a shooting, it will end quickly, there is not a lot you can do once the bullets start flying.
So, what can you do before the shots are flying?
I used to be a teacher in high schools both in very poor schools, middle class schools and well to do schools with a majority of my time in schools that can be easily classified as ghetto schhols... not by race but by poverty and crime rates.
And these types of ghetto schools rarely have mass shootings. Perhaps a targeted shooting but not mass shootings.
How do these high crime schools be this safe from mass shootings?
First, they make the schools into fortresses. Doors are locked so no one can get into a school without people knowing and watching.
Visitors do not go past the school office, if they are allowed inside.
They treat everyone as suspects. Students, former students, family members of students and staff.
The schools get rid of bad and violent students through expulsion.
There is a heavy police presence at the schools and around the schools.
School radios in each classroom so they report suspicious activity or something going on in or around a teachers classroom.
These are some things high crime schools do to protect their school and students from mass shootings.
But most schools will not want to do these suggestions because it makes their school look bad and their kids are angels and would never dream of killing their fellow students.
And the parents of students in these "higher class" would never allow these solutions because these parents never would have the school to treat their "angel" to be treated with disrespect, per the parents view of things.
And yes, there are plenty of blame to around in the Florida shooting with the majority of the blame to the school's administration and the parents of the school.
Finally, this is not a federal issue. It is a local school and school district and parent issue. They, the parents, administration and district administration, run the the schools, not the federal or state government.
These ideas I put forth will work but they won't be implemented by the snowflaketeachers administration and snowflake parents.
