Last week, at a school in Maryland, there was a shooter. An officer was in the school, who had a gun, and stopped the shooting in under a minute. We NEED armed people in schools to protect our kids. What might help even more is to not let people who are mentally ill have guns. Law abiding citizens should be able to have guns to protect themselves, but5 not people who have criminal records, mental illness, or any history of trouble. The shooter in Florida should have been in jail. He had made threats on line and was known to be a problem, but former President Obama had made rules designed to keep minorities out of jail. Schools were paid to not contact police when minoities caused problems, but to deal with the criminals themselves.Had the shooter been arrested when he made threats, then those 17 people would still be alive.

All great points maureenthannon, unfortunately we have a long way to go on the mental illness issue. I have friends who have a son who has multiple personalities and has been in all kinds of troubles, including jumping off a bridge, but, if he won’t self admit, then there is nothing that can be done. Finally after several trips to the county slam, he was in for a month without any meds and ended up smacking a guard and was finally ordered to get house arrest instead of jail and was living back with his parents and was given his medication every day religiously. Had he not had good parental support things would be very different for him and I know he would be out there with a gun robbing 7-11’s to get by, crazy, off his meds. We all see the people I’m talking about , but, we don’t notice them. They sit at a bus stop or are sleeping on a bench, pushing a grocerie cart, sitting on a sidewalk or a doorway. It seems we have become ammune to noticing the mentally ill. The trouble is, they are out there in droves. If we want to do something about gun control, then we have to deal with the mentally ill as a part of that solution, and if you look around sometime and “notice” the people around you, you would realize, I don’t think I would want that person to have a weapon. It seems like one of the many things we need to tighten up on. At the Parkland shooting, that young man should have been in or under some kind of mental institution or care and that entire incident should never have happened. When there are that many warning signs, there is plenty of blame to go around, the local sheriff, the FBI, school councilors etc. like most bad things that have happened, new laws wouldn’t have prevented them, it turned out to be that someone didn’t say something or something slipped through the cracks and there were big consequences to pay.

Last President is the most responsible for this tragedy,
rewarded schools for not reporting troublesome kids.
Broward sheriff a supporter.
Many Many warning signs and nothing done by the school or law enforcement.
