They know what is needed. They are just not willing to do it for J6P's kids.

ETA- Because those kids are too useful as political props to advance a gun control agenda. May God damn these vultures to hell.

Rhetorical question...why don't people like this nut case attack a police station?

Answer is they would never be able to perpetrate the crime as they would have return fire from every direction. They always choose gun free zones because they know they have several minutes of carnage before anyone can stop them. The real answer is a return to morality, absolute truth and respect all of the things which was lost when we kicked God out of the classrooms in the early 1960's.

Other than that the answer is the Israeli model. Every school should have armed and trained adults in them and have it be widely publicized that anyone that tries to use deadly force in or around their campus will be met with a very unpleasant experience. Most but not all of the people that do these crimes will seek out easier venues.

Bingo!!
We have a morality and Godless problem, not a more laws problem. Growing up, there were more guns on school grounds in kids trucks, than the National Guard Armory, and how many school shootings were there? Zero! Nada! Zip!

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
We are at a turning point...
Police state
or
Every capable citizen is armed.

We either take our nation back, or we allow the powers that be to exert complete control thru a police state....
The police state is their goal...all the camera's are in place, let alone the other tools at their discretion...

Finally not a lurker!
I dread a Beslan incident on our soil, or anywhere else for that matter. Every school should have volunteers armed and trained.

Do NOT look to the fed's for solutions to a states problem.

Call on your states legislators and governor to solve this issue. The closer to home the politician (in most cases) the more responsive they are.

I have met and talked with our local rep (pretty darned conservative farmer’s wife......) several times and she gets it......


Still can’t see her hanging around a school with a sidearm, (or anything with greater potency) waiting for a bad guy.


Thinking this is a parent’s problem.....not a government problem.

And that parent is free to ELIMINATE THE ROOT CAUSE of said problem, at any time.

And that doesn’t require a weapon.

No offense meant to the OP, but the title of this thread is somewhat annoying. Whenever anyone speaks about a "path to (whatever)", I envision TPTB bloviating for the press and otherwise running around with their hair on fire and making zero efforts to the simple and real solution. This thread is mostly spot on: We should be hounding our local officials to secure the schools. They secured the airports quickly enough after 911.

Exactly right, this is huge political fuel. I've still not seen a political figure of importance actually address what is needed. How did we get such strong fire codes? School burnings were an issue that's been resolved for what 100 years? Active shooters is now the biggest threat to school kids now while in the classroom, so schools need codes, inspections, door ajar alarms, security....a whole suite of failsafes that support an SRO/s at their duties.

Sorry if this tics anyone off, but the only fix is to allow the teachers to arm themselves and not allow the government to add hoops they have to jump threw as to make it imposable to do and I can see the need for some training and nothing over the top.
It takes a good guy (teacher) with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun. The idea gets around they will not make it out alive or end up badly gut shot (very painful) will hopefully put an end to this nonsense of shooting up schools because it's an easy target.

Mourning dove, the question is, why have steps not been implemented by government, media and social media companies to stop it. In typical liberal fashion, you ignore the root cause and would treat the symptoms. That cannot work. Here’s what needs to happen:

Social media: whenever ANYONE posts about harming others, their account is locked down to all readers.

MSM: whenever a mass shooting occurs, the name of the shooter(s) is never made public

Government: whenever there’s a mass shooting, law enforcement and politicians never reveal the name of the shooter(s)

In short, banish the shooters to the ash heap of history. These nutters kill innocents to become famous and go into the history books. Our current system assures that they’ll get their wish. That incentive needs to go away, for good.

And that’s not a Texas issue.

I live in Texas and yesterdays shooting is one more strike against elected officials who pose, postulate, point fingers and otherwise neglect to do anything about our epidemic of school shootings.

Texas is Republican owned and operated. I have lived here most of my life. There has been zero effort to halt or lower the school shootings. Why don’t we have armed security at each and every school in Texas? Not just in rich sections but every school. During the pandemic, we were able to limit access to large grocery stores by implementing one way in and out of the building. Why can’t we do that in our schools? Limit access points to areas that are properly protected by a trained professional.

Do I think this is the best solution? No, not at all, but at least it is something. Texas can afford it and even if not so, I believe most people would willingly pay a few more dollars in property taxes or sales tax if the money was dedicated and actually used to protect our children. Our schools should be awash with funding from the lottery sales alone.

Governor Abbott, do you have a plan? Any plan? Anything at all?

Elected representatives have no place in any of this...thinking that they do is a large part of the problem.

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District HAS it own Police Chief.
The Uvalde Police has another Police Chief.
If the school district HAS a police chief . . . ipso facto . . . they have POLICE.
The resource officer who was acting all Barney Fife WAS that police officer.

You have to have some awesome funding to afford your own Police Chief.
