I agree. And since the gun issue does not seem likely to be solved at once, then I think we need turn attention to the school's being made safer with new ideas not used before. There are businesses that offer seminars to corporations to make their facilities safer from attacks like these. They teach people to break windows and run. They teach people to throw things and they teach people how to save their lives. We need to be open to that as well.

Saying that something is complex and does not have an easy answer does not mean that nothing can be done. We need to realistically assess what we can do and be open to new ideas. Teachers and staff who are willing to be armed is another thought not previously considered.
