Hmmm. Well there goes the âkids with easy access to firearmsâ narrative.

We get it, you think no one should be armed.
You pay for my private security detail made up of former Navy SEALs and Marine Force Recon and maybe Iâll think about changing my views.
Actually I wonât. But that would be a good effort on your part.

That doesnât make sense. Guns are harder to get now than ever before.

A far bigger threat to me and my family than any mass shooter could ever be.

Gonna pay for my private security detail?
Just so you know, former Navy SEALs are very expensive.
Yes, there are steps that can be taken to reduce opportunities. Those are only bandaids to the overall problem. (Nonetheless, schools are negligent when they bypas those steps.)
The previous school shooting (Denver East High School) occurred while a kid was actually being pat down. And he was getting the pat-down because it was a daily requirement for his entry into the school. The requirement was in place because of a previous gun issue at his previous school.
Even saying that the kid shouldnât have been let into the school at all (which is the minimum I would have argued for) would only be a bandaid to the real problem.
Local media are harping on an earlier school district decision to eliminate armed LEOs in the schools. And the school district has now reversed that decision in response. But even THAT is a bandaid to the problem. To be blunt, even if an armed LEO had been in the room during the pat-down, unless he had already been holding his pistol in preparation to shoot the kid, the kid would still have been able to pull the gun. (And what would be the guess as to the person he would have shot first?) At most the cop would have shot the kid once he started shooting, maybe killing him in that room instead of the kid running off and committing suicide.
Bandaids.
And that shooting was the second one in only 6 weeks at that high school. The previous one occurred outside the building, so an armed LEO in the building wouldnât have had any impact on that one.
And there were already 6 gun incidents at that high school this year. Bandaids donât fix the bigger problem.
Each and every one of those gun incidents broke existing laws. What new law (short of a complete disarming of society) would make a difference?
I got off on a tangent. My apologies. Yes, that door should have been locked.
Please note, @TheRedComet, I didnât post this to lecture you. I just used your statement as a springboard for what I wanted to say, and as for your post, I disagree with absolutely nothing in it.

Are you arguing for such a ban?
Mass shooters donât murder every day. The psycho-authoritarian-wannabe libs never skip an opportunity to be involved in being a threat to your inherent right to self-defense.
They happily use dead children to try and shame you into bowing to their demands.

We have more firearms than people.
