Schools are already gun free zones. Mass shooters favorite place to do their thing. The cluster.... at airports probably isn't something that can be logically implemented in schools at this time.lavacarancher said:1. Prevent people carrying weapons (of any kind) from getting past the front door of a school. Technology already available and in use.
2. Restrict access to a school - one way in, several ways out. Readily doable. Already being done at airports. Air marshals not a deterrent.
3. Age restrictions on purchase of weapons (black weapons). How many teenagers do you know that have the brains to use their pecker for anything other than sex, let alone own a black weapon. No downside.
4.Background checks for purchase of black weapons (any weapon). I thought this was already in place. Why is it not? Very difficult to do effectively
Please add to the list. Lets make this a discussion instead of getting into the p****d off mode. I would like to see a well thought out response from you and anyone else. Please remember I am a second amendment believer but I am also a believer that killing kids in a school has to be stopped.
All the teenagers, our son and others, in our house had firearms. They had a sense of pride about it, mostly being able to buy one because they worked hard, or were cherished gifts. We bought our son his first "assault rifle" for coyote hunting, target practice, etc.... when he was quite young. Young people join the military at 18, and used to be younger. Do they not have control of their brains or peckers yet? The quality of teenagers and adults has a lot to do with the time and effort that was invested in them during their formative years.
As far as this last school shooting, the whole system, federally all the way down to locally, failed miserably. It's all been posted in the Political Bull page. New laws wouldn't have done anything but give the liberals a tingle down their legs. Present laws need to be enforced, and outrageously dumb liberal policies need to be done away with.

I agree with George, and his support of Air Marshals as well.
Just a side note, I have to wonder what firearm kills the most feral hogs. A semi-auto rifle would be my guess.
