If we knew how to write regulations or laws, to prevent insane people from committing murder, we'd have done it already. We do not know how to write any law or regulation to prevent murder

Posting armed guards at every school, in cooperation with local police departments who know the area and know how many guards would be needed to really make a difference, has worked. It's expensive, but are our children's lives not worth the extra expense?

Or we could allow for guards of a different, and far more numerous, nature: Obey the 2nd amendment for a change, and let any law-abiding adult who wants to, carry. A teacher if they want, a deliveryman at the school, a janitor, somebody walking their dog past the campus, plus many other such.

Some demented thug who wants to shoot up the school and get tons of headlines after he's dead, would know that there's probably someone nearby with a gun who knows how to use it. So he probably won't be able to rack up the huge body count he's hoping for. And maybe some of them will decide not to do it in the first place.

Presto, a reduction in shootings, without a shot being fired.

Why do the horrified spectators always call for "solutions" that have failed already? And why does the govt listen to them, and let the killings go on without restraint? Isn't it time they listened to those whose solutions are already proven to work instead?

What makes you think school shootings would suddenly stop if you banned ARs ?

No thinking involved. People who make these non sequitors are simply afraid of scary-looking black rifles. And somehow they decide that their own personal fear, is enough to justify making laws that violate the Constitution, and forcing everyone else to obey them.
