Maybe it's time we need more armed guards or more open carry permits.

For further reading
Without; an estimate of number of school entrances in the US, the qualifications and pay for these 'armed guards, total cost, and how it will be paid for, this is just another half-baked right wing idea.

Maybe his school was all contained in one building? Or the entire school enclosed? That'd work. My high school wasn't at all like that. Nor was the one I visited. Just too spread out.

Actions speak louder than words.
Media goes on and on and on about these things. Why? Ratings gold.

Say a 100 car pile up happened.
80+ dead.

Unless a celebrity or politician is involved... might be lucky if you're local to hear about it.

I didn't know there was a volcano eruption in hawaii... radio and local TV when I do have time to watch TV go on and on about shootings though.

It's like when I lived back in NY.
Local news was all doom and gloom.
Another corrupt politician acquitted of charges.
Another heroin overdose.
Another tax hike.
Another DWI fatality involving highschoolers...

Eventually you just change the channel or shut it off completely.
Or move to Florida and bust a gut at another Florida man antic every night.
The sun is bright down here. Criminals... not so much...

Nothing prevents a state / district from “ hardening” entries to schools.

There are about 100,000 public schools in the US. Most will never experience an active shooter no matter what strategy they employ, or not.

Not sure what your point is with this. Most people will not die in an car accident but we all wear seat-belts.
