Really? I wonder how they are so consistently successful at getting their product to its destination? My area is deep in a major heroin epidemic and has been for a few years now, and I know many other cities and states are going thru the same thing right now.

The idea that you can just limit entrances and place armed guards at them to reduce incidents of violence is faulty. All it will do is relocate the violence to the bottleneck. Think about the Ft. Lauderdale airport shooting last year. The shooter checked his weapon at his point of departure, removed it from his case in baggage claim after arrival, and then opened fire on people outside the security checkpoint.

If it happens in Texas then armed schools isn't the answer.

Fence in every school with one way in and out, use metal detectors and x-ray machines. It would be good training for the kids when they fly. Maybe put the TSA in charge of school security or maybe build new schools at the airports and use the existing system.

Horrible idea! That strategy will simply relocate any violence outside of the security zone to the bottleneck where people are waiting, ultimately leading to more injuries/deaths in a mass shooting incident. And if you think airports are immune to mass shootings because of the TSA, then perhaps you need to review what happened at the Ft. Lauderdale airport just last year.

Just supervise them.
I'm not sure someone who cannot legally buy a gun has a "right" to them, btw.
There's no right to enjoy youth hunting season by yourself.

ah, that pesky 'well regulated militia' part of the second that no one will address! it's like it doesn't even exist!






I am supporting the text of the Constitution.
Let people fill their hand as free people with liberties.
Somehow, location and age, have filter into the text of the Bill of Rights, where it never was before.


Now, you want schools to violate another amendment in the Bill of Rights, to suppress another right. a 2-fer.
Metal detectors, clear backpacks, body cavity searches at the schoolhouse door!


The right of the people, to keep and bear arms.
Nothing more nothing less.

I bought my first rifle at age 9. Sears & Robuck Catalog. Delivered to my door by the mailman, with a box of cartridges.


Who changed the 2nd amendment? Or who infringed upon it?
My daughter bought her first rifle at 10. Her Mini-14 Ranch Rifle. She bought her pistol at 15.
She built her own AR- when she was 17.
She was given her first shotgun at 6.



The 2nd amendment and the DICK Act, disagrees with "cannot legally buy"


It was not the deer we feared in Concord & Lexington. The same applies today.

Beside mass shootings schools are also susceptible to fires. If there is only one way in, one way out then what do you do if a fire breaks out at the choke point? You end up with thousands of trapped kids in a burning building. Can't happen.
