Possible Solutions to School Shootings

[Daniel Marsh]

1. Put together Counseling teams to visit every School within a District or close group of Districts to meet with every student individually on a rountine basis to discuss what is going on in their lives and guide them to help. Ask Students about their Religions, Role Models and Support Structures. Then put together a group of Pastors as Counselors to Christians, Imans to Muslims, Rabbis to Jewish People. And, whatever everyone else is. That way each Student will have two Counselors encouraging and guiding them on a regualar basis. Those who were not in School that day will get phone calls at home later in the day.

2., Make every enturance fortifided with two or three sets of doors, bullet proof glass, firearm detectors, sound waves to detect shapes of weapons, auto lock door when something is detected. Buttons in every classroom when a Teacher sees something is wrong outside. Closing metal doors in the Halls to isolate shooters. Bullet proof walls and glass for classromms and bathrooms.

3. Unknown Armed Teachers, School Personnel and Guards.

I already own the copyrights to these ideas and putting them into effect is free to any Educational places and to any that works towards the public good(defintion is loose). Also, free to companies that contribute 10 % of their profiets to Charities that helps others and is not Political Contributions.

As I said in another post, if people insist on shooting each other, allow and sell only non-lethal rounds for all weapons legally sold. Blanks would be ideal for those who have progressed beyond cap guns.

The first suggestion is good, number two and three not so much. Also, I noticed there was no mention of any gun control measures in your suggestions.

In addition to suggestion one on your list I would like to see increased spending on mental health services and treatment to all Americans, ban assault weapons, universal background checks, red flag laws to take guns away from the mentally ill, domestic abusers, and child abusers; raise the age to buy a gun to 21, have a ten day waiting period, and require firearms training, registration and licensing.

I'm against arming teachers and school staff and making schools more like prisons rather than places of learning for our children.

A good point as most of these shooters are the bullied (the insecure), not the bullies. Therefore those measures would increase their agitation, not help it.

I thought 1 and 2 were good. 3 not so much.

Home schooling.

Home schooling.

Good, then like during the pandemic no one leaves home ever and every one is safe.

I’m sure some will help, but there’s still the elephant in the room of guns that civilians shouldn’t be owning or accessing, as well as the incredibly relaxed laws around ownership.

 

[Servant78]

People shud be encouraged to use water guns to solve all problems.

You do realize that the shooting in Oklahoma was caused by a man who was very upset and probably on opioids. He bought two guns as easy as a stick of gum. No cooling off period , mad as heck . Rather than arm more angry people, let's disarm them. Possible?

I don't know about schools in other parts of the country, but I do know about ones in Los Angeles. The perimeter of the schools is nothing bore than chain link fence. A pair of top rate wire cutters and you are past that in seconds.

Spend 10 times as much as it costs to build a school fortifying it and any shooter would just have to wait for school to let out, or better still be there when everyone is bunched up waiting to get in Oops. Under 20 dead becomes hundreds dead.

And after spending over $100,000,000 fortifying the high school I went to I can think of 2 ways that would each be better than even money for getting a fully automatic weapon in.

Trying to stop people who have already decided to go out in a burst of fame is futile.

A number of these attackers have made statements ahead of time. The Uvalde shooter made threats of rape to specific people online, threats of school shootings, and posted a video with animal abuse. His account was temporarily banned after some of these, but then he got back on to post again before the attack.

I would modify section 230 to require internet platforms to report known threatening comments. I am not talking about pre-screening, as there is way too much content to do that. However, if it is reported by users as a threat it should have human review, and then be passed on to authorities. Currently providers have broad immunity, but they are still required to handle such things as child sexually exploitative content. This would be another exception to liability.

raise the age to buy a gun to 21

Currently this measure was found unconstitutional by the 9th Circuit:

California ban on semi-automatic weapons for those under 21 ruled unconstitutional

LOS ANGELES — A U.S. appeals court ruled Wednesday that California’s ban on the sale of semi-automatic weapons to adults younger than 21 is unconstitutional.

In a 2-1 ruling, a panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Wednesday the law violates the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms and a San Diego judge should have blocked what it called “an almost total ban on semi-automatic centerfire rifles” for young adults.

Since that may not be possible another suggestion that has been raised is to unseal violent offenses by minors so that the background checks are more effective.

 

[Paulos23]

1. is the best and has the most potental to lower the number of shottings.

2 and 3 are not going to be that effective. 2. exists in several schools in one form or another already and can get bypassed one way or another.

It is funny that as violence has increased so has the number of states that have permitless carry. It will be up to half the country come the first of the year.

We could implement the on-star system on every new firearm sold. Like we do on automobiles. Schools can disable firearms on the premises just like we disable stolen cars using programmed micro-processor chips.

By that logic why not have it like we do now where firearms are not supposed to be on school grounds any way if you are going to disable them.

Because people disobey laws every day. And children die from guns every day.

Firearms overtook auto accidents as the leading cause of death in children

Or shut down the human body...

“the ability of new technologies to literally become part of us” “curious mixes of digital-and-analog life that will redefine our very natures”

“These technologies will operate within our own biology and change how we interface with the world. They are capable of crossing the boundaries of body and mind, enhancing our physical abilities, and even having a lasting impact on life itself “.
