How would you propose making America's schools safe against school shootings?
It is obviously an issue and I am curious to see what people who are a part of this community would propose when it comes to increasing safety and decreasing loss of life concerning school shootings/massacres.
Would you propose a ban on assault weapons? Tighter gun control? Stricter background checks? Arming teachers? Metal detectors? A combination of two or more of these? Something else?
Discuss.
(NOTE: I know there is an American school shooting thread in the GDF already but I was hoping to hear what people would say regarding this specifically.)

1-2 entrance and exits, hardened armed security, metal detectors, ID cards in and out of the entrances and exits. These are simple things that can be done, that would go a long way.
armed guards and detection equipment at the entrance(s)

So this is only about stopping the killers from using guns?

I think providing some fire extinguishers for each hallway or classroom... It isn't expensive and it's a great and non-lethal weapon. You just quickly gas the fvcker then knock him out.
Those are already there. Kids underfire, and people in general dont think "grab the fire extinguisher." Neither would you, you would think, duck, cover and hide.
Since guns are not going away, I'd say have armed security on campus, but even then that can not matter as Parkland had an armed guard on campus the day of the shooting. So maybe better trained armed guards and/or more of them. Non PTSD vets and/or ex-law enforcement would be ideal.
i think that keeping an air tight gaurd of the perimeter is way more sensible preparation than preparing for gunfights in the hallways and classrooms. *shrug*

Who said anything about preparing for gunfights in the hallway or classrooms?

and no he didn't say the words "gunfights in the hallways," but he proposed conceal and carry for faculty, with no mention that i can recall of keeping these shooters from entering the building. simple conclusion.

What if the guard kills everyone?
What if the shooter kills the guard first?
What if the guard is off sick and they can't get a replacement?
What if the equipment breaks and the school can't afford to replace it?
If you can't 100% guarantee the safety of every single person then there's no point in even trying any of it.
well yeah but what if we end up genetically engineering a bullet proof school shooter. then what do we do?
