    I really wouldn’t recommend being constipated at a Texas school anytime soon. I can hear it now on the police radio, “Yeah, we got us an active shitter situation. He’s been in there a half hour with the door locked.” Eventually, they’re coming in with guns blazing.

    But I locked the door. That will confuse them for at least an hour.

    Right, we can kill kids far better and faster.

    Otherwise, what are we fighting for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Antietam...

    That helps. Most schools in Portland do that. But, it won't matter if its a student already in the building.

    Yeah, there is. Parents can keep them out their kids Hands by keeping them stored in safes where they can't get them.

    I have come with several solutions here. So have others. Many of these would be easily feasible. We aren't even senators or governor's or congress people.

    These ideas might not eliminate all school shootings from happening, but even if they cut the number in half or even by a third, that's a start. That's something.

    I don't believe that a safe exists that will prevent an 18 year old kid who is willing to kill his parents out.

    Is there any evidence that any of these ideas would cut school shootings by a third or a half?

    How do we plan on instituting these ideas? Like, getting republicans to vote for them?

    Are they feasible if we can't institute them?

    Oh, they exist. It would stop some of them and that's something.

    Why does it have to be a third or half? If it cut it by even a 20th, that's kid's lives saved at the inconvenience of sport shooters.

    I'm just saying even if it didn't stop them all and it stopped some it matters. Every child's life we can save matters.

    None of my ideas involve taking away guns. Why shouldn't the Republicans vote for them?

    I dunno. The study from the assault ban you posted said there wasn't significant enough, but what is "enough"? Do you tell these 19 kids families that they aren't significant enough to justify a ban?
