Anyway the authorities indicated had these devices exploded, it would have brought down the roof of the building and the casualties would have been over 400. Its a scarry world today and laws will not change that fact.

The exact thought I had when I heard the Parkland shooter's gun jammed.
People, we have got to wake up! As Steve said - evil always finds a way. We need to quit arguing about guns and begin coming up with real solutions on how to protect our most vulnerable. Another poster suggested that we, the people, do something and quit waiting on the government to come up with a solution. He in turn was called out by another poster who thought that was not possible. But, it is! We are already hearing about schools who are locked down while in session and teachers who are licensed to conceal carry with many others lining up to get training to become licensed. Also, the hiring of armed security or volunteer armed security is in place in some areas of the country. We CAN do something and we should.
In my mind, this is just one more way we, the people, are taking back the country. We don't have to depend on the federal government to solve all of our problems, and we shouldn't. More control needs to be in the hands of the local communities, meaning the local citizens working hand in hand with the schools and the local government to tighten up security for our children's sake.
One final note, another poster insinuated that it was not good for the morale of children to have guns (in the way of security) in schools and that being locked down is too much like a prison and, as such, both would inhibit learning. I say what inhibits learning is fear and the feeling of one not being safe. Measures like those mentioned above will improve the feeling of security that all children need to thrive.
