Dress code, no backpacks.

Here's a little secret... more cops, metal detectors, armed teachers, etc. will not stop the school shootings.

Maybe it will improve response time and possibly decrease the number of victims, but it will do nothing to limit the number of deranged people that decide they want to go shoot up a room full of innocents.

One way in. One way out. Retired, young special forces or experienced S.W.A.T. guys, paid at the top of their grade, full benefits, armed and stationed outside and inside the one way entry/exit. Through a metal detector after you clear exterior security. At least four of them on campus at all times during class. 2 of them 24/7. Once those campuses are secure, we can begin with mental health evaluations of students who are flagged as a possible threat, CPS visits to their homes with their parent(s). If they're determined to be a risk to themselves or the public, they get committed, and not to an alternative school.

One way in and one way out in a school would probably be very high on the building code and fire code violation list.

Probably work. Good employment for ex military.

And the cost is higher taxes. Will anyone want to pay for it. They're complaining about higher taxes all the time on here.

Nudity - You never hear of these events at nudist colonies....

Exceptions to exits will be made in cases of an emergency. With those same armed guards and the responding LEOs stationed at those exits.

This may be the best "easy fix". Controlled entrance and exit with some kind of detection system. The problem would be at some schools (like Arlington Martin HS, with about 3,400) with high enrollments. Trying to get that many in a door would take a while. Maybe stagger the arrival times by class (freshman, sophomore, etc).

I honestly believe you're dead wrong.
The last few mass shootings at schools were ones that had armed persons in the school.
Like terrorists that have no concern for their own lives, these kids are obviously so disturbed that the chance of dying isn't a deterrent.

Bad idea.

Especially if the riffraff that hang around police stations and city jails were brought into close proximity with children.

Correct and conceal and carry still apply

So make lockup where it currently is.

Bigger gun free zone signs.

And therein is the problem, there is no way to stop someone who wants to die. I don�t think that�s being negative or pessimistic, I think it�s reality. Cold, sober, hard, reality. We will never be able to stop this from happening.

Of all the approaches I�m aware of, the Argyle approach makes the most sense to me. Prevent, decrease...etc. yes, but elimination isn�t feasible.

Quit glorifying (for want of a better word) mass murderers in the media . How many potential psychopaths have been "inspired" by the infamous ?

Shoot , Shovel , Shut up .
