    There has to be a last resort when everything else fails. It’s time for a serious discussion about metal detectors, armed security and the like.

    How many armed guards do you walk by before you get into the halls of Congress? Why doesn’t Congress rely on laws to stop shooters?

    Because they know better.
    How much would it cost to put metal detectors and armed guards in all schools and universities! Far cheaper to ban bumpstocks, high capacity magazines and more stringent mental health checks.

    yes, lets dismiss constitutional rights over costs, very millennial of you.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    From what I've seen and heard about as well (youngest is a public school special ed teacher), the first thing to go when funding is tight are teachers. They also often let go low-level admin staff. Programs that get cut are generally the arts and extracurricular activities. I'd like to see parents and voters in general get more involved and demand lower salaries for upper-level admin and the savings used for safety measures we've been talking about. My daughter says anyone can walk into her school; there are no locked doors and no security officer either.

    Come on Mr. High IQ, how much would it cost to put fences and secure doors with detectors in all of the nation's schools plus the wages of all the armed guards?

    Voluntary armed school personnel would cost nothing, except for training and I expect local police would happily donate the time.

    Why doesn’t congress rely on laws to protect themselves from random shooters?

    Since, OOLISS is on my ignore list, I have to assume you’re referring to his “listening meeting”. The one where he had the embarrassing cheat sheets, including “I hear you”?

    Orangetweet hasn’t done shit on gun control except make it easier to purchase weapons. The words of a pathological liar are worthless.

    There have been costings done already, bear in mind that you need personnel to supervise the metal detectors. The cost for 100,000 schools would be at least $500 million and the running costs for wages something like $7 billion per year.

    I'm referring to the very powerful meeting at the WH, with the President and survivors, parents, families, and friends of school attacks... Perhaps you missed it. I'm sure you can find a link...I don't know who "Orangetweet" is. We have gun control, and I'm sure that there will be modifications to make legal purchase more difficult. That won't bother anyone. But it won't stop the mentally deranged from getting a weapon if they want one. The creep who murdered two officers here not long ago couldn't buy a weapon legally. So he just got his friend to buy it. If that hadn't worked, there were a dozen other ways that he could have found a weapon of his choice. Gun control is not the "solution" to these tragedies..
    Pathological liars are worthless, aren't they?

    In fact, one of his first moves as POTUS was to reverse the ban on mentally-ill ppl obtaining firearms.

    In this day of school shootings I find it hard to believe that the school "your daughter" works at has no locked doors. Please link to something that says that. Then I will notify the local media their children are in danger.

    This father said it best............

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
