The school district had an active-shooter plan, and two armed police officers walked the halls of the high school. School district leaders had even agreed last fall to eventually arm teachers and staff under the states school marshal program, one of the countrys most aggressive and controversial policies intended to get more guns into classrooms.

but guns are the answer?

See there's your problem, "eventually arm teachers and staff"

More guns is still most certainly the answer, more weapons in such situations definitely wouldn't lead to even bigger tragedies, nope, more weapons = more chances somebody would be the good guy with the gun we were all pining for.

this is insane.

we are going to need armed guards and metal detectors at every fucking school.

this country has failed.

Gotta do what ya gotta do. Schools will be the first to have the camera with facial recognition and they've gotta have discrete metal detectors some where where its out of sight and a guard booth

Wasn't there a story recently about a school that was enforced a rule of its students needing to smile at all times in the hallways, lest they be summoned to the administrators on suspicion of harborng ill intents or something?

Teachers getting paid trash but the schools gonna have million dollar camera systems. This is America

When turning everywhere into a maximum security prison or Big Brother dystopia is presented as a solution, you've already failed at whatever problem you were trying to solve

Eventually, physical classrooms will be a thing of the past and we'll move to online/virtual classrooms. That will end the problem.

most schools have active shooter drills after columbine. never seemed to matter that much. 2 armed guards also wont matter all that much either especially only 2 given the task to patrol dozens of acres of ground, let alone hallways that echo making figuring out where shots are coming from difficult. metal detectors would be a better solution, but those can be gamed also unless theres really only one entrance which is a fire code nightmare.

arming teachers while still stupid to me seems like the only theoretical way to really limit casualties (outside of "ban all guns" and waiting 40 years for the 400+ million already out there to dry up in the mean time). if every fifth or forth teacher was unknowingly armed they could potentially engage a target substantially faster than an officer 5minutes away patrolling the gym. even if people knew to target the teacher first the next 2-4 teachers in the next classrooms down the hall and across the hall can still respond.

Shouldnt be anywhere near that much. Face tracking tech is already a thing the government has, just need the cameras and a server to hook up to a cloud.

But it is the government, so it'll be a billion dollars

Why do people keep saying this? 'One entrance' is not the same thing as 'one exit'....

yes but what if all the kids had guns too

*taps fat head*

Teachers need to be armed. That is a better use for money then a raise or up to date teaching aids.

To top it off, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick is putting the blame squarely on violent video games and abortions.

But America told me the best way to prevent people from getting shot is to throw more guns at the problem.
