my proposal to protect kids from high school shootings.......lets stop school sports and other extra cirrucular activities temporailly and instead use the money on metal detectors ...........tough situations call for tough actions........priorities. i'm about as pro sports as anyone can get.............but we have to start thinking out of the box to seriously combat something that is not simply gonna go away by implementing more gun laws. this is a new reality...its past the blaming game and now is the time to start coming up with common sense ideas to protect these kids!!!

You probably wouldn't even need to. An announcement that the school would be doing that would probably be all that was needed for a private donor or 2 to step up and pay for them.

Bad idea. Sports were a large part of me growing into the person that I am, in a good way. Lot's of lessons learned. These killers will kill no matter what protections are in place. They will find a way if they want to.

Why not merge police stations with schools. Obviously not have a jail at a school but set up some offices where patrolmen and detectives can do paper work. Good idea

You can protect schools all you want, and we should do what we can, but the killers will only do their killing somewhere else. Take away AK's and they will just use some other means. We've lost a deep morality in this country, and morality comes from God. Until we come to that realization, things will only get worse.

And I see it getting much worse before people start to "get it"

my proposal to protect kids from high school shootings.......lets stop school sports and other extra cirrucular activities temporailly and instead use the money on metal detectors ...........tough situations call for tough actions........priorities. i'm about as pro sports as anyone can get.............but we have to start thinking out of the box to seriously combat something that is not simply gonna go away by implementing more gun laws. this is a new reality...its past the blaming game and now is the time to start coming up with common sense ideas to protect these kids!!! School athletics generally come closer to being self-supporting than most other school activities. A Friday night football game with a couple thousand attending at $5 a head pays for the associated costs... If you suspend athletics you will be suspending the revenue they generate. I'm not a huge fan of school athletic programs for the simple fact that parents pony up several hundred or even thousands of dollars over a sports season for their kid(s)... But if the school asked for donations for books? Crickets. Mike

We've lost a deep morality in this country, and morality comes from God. Until we come to that realization, things will only get worse. If killers can’t get into a school because there is armed security and secure entrances your right, maybe they will try to strike somewhere else. Sounds to me like a successful plan. With that said you have to remember that most of these killers are cowards and they have one thing in common, they only target places where they know everyone is unarmed. In both of your posts here it seems your ideology is to do nothing because there will always be killers, that is nonsense. Outside of the gun free zones Americans arm theirselves, killers know this and it does detour them. It’s really a no brainer, gun free zones need to be armed. People also need to use common sense, is it worth the possibility of being gunned down at a concert surrounded by highrise buildings such as LasVegas? For me it’s not worth the risk, i can stay home and drink a beer and listen to any song i want on the radio or online, no risk of DUI on the way home from a concert either if i happened to not get sniped by some psycho. Unfortunately that is what America is coming to, if your going to hang out in these gun free zones (baseball, football games, concerts etc) you have to decide for yourself if it’s worth the risk.

Get rid of the "gun free zones!" When I went to school, most pick up trucks had a gun rack in the truck and most of the time it had a rifle in it. Schools had rifle teams and we never had a shooting. Gun racks gone, shooting teams gone, school shootings.....not rocket science.

Reread my post. I said we should do what we can. But to think the problem will just go away with tighter school security is foolishness.

I only know of a single school shooting (University of Texas sniper in 1966) when God was still allowed in schools.
That’s a very valid point, back then kids also had both a mother and a father living in the household as well to share the responsibility of raising their kids. Unfortunately about 40% of white children and 70% of black children are living in homes without fathers.
