    Final proof that more guns in our schools will not keep our kids safe.

    What does the issue of the inaction of law enforcement have to do with the idea of “guns in our schools” (presumably this is inferring armed security or arming other school staff)? I am of the opinion that a lot of these issues could be solved adding armed security to schools. There are quite a number of sensitive locations like that which would benefit from that sort of security, imo.

      NO! NO SECURITY! Leave all doors unlocked and make sure nobody has so much as a pointy stick, we just need to ban a specific gun responsible for less than 500 deaths per year accounting for 0.833% repeating of our total gun deaths, that’ll solve everything!

      Because the police ARE state funded “armed security guards”. They ARE added to schools and yet they’ve failed to their job.

      Have you met a security guard? you do not want a guy who failed the extremely low bar to be a cop, and who likely can’t handle the tiny bit of authority granted to them to be around kids.

        Regarding that, I found this:

        The school district also has its own police force with four officers and partners with local law enforcement, according to the document. Secondary campuses have staff who patrol door entrances, parking lots and perimeters of campuses. [source]

        If that’s what you are referring to, it isn’t exactly what I meant. I was more referring to a dedicated static armed security force that watches entrances to the school.
