"found not competent" and "actually not competent" don't necessarily mean the same thing. "Found not competent" are just courtroom words. I stand by my statement... Normal, rational and sane people don't go into schools and shoot kids, under ANY circumstance...

Have the full time National Guard of each state have a civil service duty rotation at each school protecting the perimeter and entry points. Just as if you were attempting to enter a high security military installation is about the only way I see it being effective. The key to this would be a "rotation" meaning a set time 3-6 months etc. and a supervising chain of command to make sure all protocols were being followed, as well to make sure said protectors did not get content or feel undervalued in duty. School systems would have to figure out the best way to adjust to the changes as far as entry and departure of students to and from. Extreme yes, but you don't hear about mass shootings on military installations very often with the exception of Fort Hood that I know of.

Homeschool

Treat it like a Military Base. ID's and Guards, perform random searches, unless your a red flagged student.

Nonetheless, arm half dozen of the teachers. I just THINK to myself what would the outcome had been if the football coach who was killed was armed, if I remember correctly he was one of the 1st ones shot and on scene, the results would have been vastly different had he pulled out a gun and ended the shooting before it happened.

Put God back in schools.

Discipline children like it’s the 1920’s.

These two things would be a very good start.

Amen brother!!

What about a volunteer security team? Ask around the community for a couple of folks willing to take that responsibility on for themselves. Have them submit to a background check, or even have a 1 day training/vetting process partnership with the local Sheriff office. In this scenario, I am picturing maybe 2-3 dads/grandpas that are retired and willing to come hang out on campus during the day. Cost involved: less than $100 for a few t-shirts/ID badges to make them identifiable and let them eat lunch in the cafeteria every day.

Could they cover all areas all the time? No. Would they be there every day? Maybe not. But... if they roam about campus and are known to be there, it would make the planning for a premeditated attack a little more difficult.

It's possible. I still like the idea of issuing municipal bonds for school districts to hire additional police officers dedicated only to working in schools. We use them for roads and infrastructure, why not this? I also still say we need a program similar to "see something, say something" to report weird behavior on social media. These things don't just pop up out of nowhere. There are usually warning signs galore, people are just afraid to say something and the people capable of investigating probably don't know how to approach it. I see no constitutional crisis in a psychologist reaching out to a kid who exhibits behavior like every one of the perps of these acts exhibits.

In addition to issuing bonds, I wouldn’t be opposed to ALEA setting up a division of the police academy dedicated to training school officers. It’s still a part of the academy but teaches the officers to specifically handle these threats. This is obviously complicated. But, the solutions to a complicated problem are rarely easy. We need to stop looking to Washington to fix this. As I said in a post yesterday, this is out of reach of any public policy. There just isn’t any we can come up with. The best thing we can do is identify these threats early when they are posting twisted stuff on social media or combat the threat when it slips through the cracks.

Stopping random acts of violence in a school system where you can't discipline the children or at the least have the abby-normal ones evaluated for violent tendencies is not logical.

In a school with 3000 students they could afford more then one entrance in smaller schools you wouldn't need multiple protected entrances. Personally I think its a great idea to have a only a certain few entrances that are guarded.

Let the NRA have a watchlist that FFL dealers can access

Question. Have you ever been shot at while unarmed? If so were you a teenager or a girl? fight or flight and most teenagers are gonna choose flight.

Beat ur kids when they need it

Attaboy!

My idea is to have doors that automatically lock all classrooms at the push of a button which would not allow a shooter to enter a classroom

I have been shot at while unarmed....I ran like a girl...

I have been shot at while armed and ran....at the shooter. He went to the hospital.

there should be, at a minimum, one armed officer at every school, more officers if the school is big and spread out.
