By now, everyone is aware that we've had another school shooting. So far this year, we're averaging a school shooting every 4 or 5 days..........and it isn't March yet. I'm wondering how many is TOO many? Is this going to be another tragedy we learn to think of as a new normal, or are we going to do something about it?

We can't arm students anymore, since it's students doing most of the shooting. We'd have Dodge city circa 1870 in every school. Imagine arming all the teachers, as has been suggested by the NRA, and we'd see gun battles in classrooms, with innocent students caught in the crossfire. I even heard a cop today say that they had to proceed with caution in these incidents, because they don't know who has a carry permit, and they don't want to kill an innocent gun owner.

So far, all we're getting from political leaders is "our hearts and prayers are with you" or some other useless drivel, instead of ideas on how to combat this new epidemic. The parents of dead or crippled children would rather have had someone save their child's life, rather than listen to idiotic platitudes after it's too late.

The right to lifers are strangely silent on this issue. Maybe they don't give a damn about a child's life outside the womb.

In my opinion..............one is "too many", but then, that's just me.

I don't know, but not talking about it is a sure way to ensure it keeps happening. There is absolutely no way to confiscate anybody's firearms. Most folks would ignore such a law, and hide weapons even if they formed a firearms gestapo and go door to door looking for them.

After a school shooting here, the police recommended installing metal detectors at the entrances, with electronic locks and cameras, denying entrance to anyone not authorized. Then.......they started arguing about who should pay for the stuff.................and not a single detector, camera or electronic lock has been installed anywhere.

There are 100's of parents, retired military/police, who would volunteer to man the school entrances, at no cost to the school, but when that was suggested here, the talk went to "liability" and those folks were turned down. At the school that had the most recent shooting, concerned Dad's showed up anyway, armed, just to make sure there were no problems until the doors were locked...............and the school had the police run them off, even arresting one of the Dad's.

America has it's collective head up it's ass, and our kids are paying the ultimate price. How much is a child worth? Less than $50, which would be the per-child cost of implementing security measures. That's a terribly sad statement about where our priorities lie.

You are right let’s start with that and get the liberals out of teaching, if they can’t do the job of just teaching subjects without interjecting their political ideology into the kids.The kids come out of school with no idea how to put together a good wholesome lifestyle,they are confused and frustrated.When I was young we always had troublesome kids but they never were bat shit crazy like they are today,something is seriously wrong with education today.They can’t even pledge allegiance to our country’s flag.This is all liberal garbage injection into the school system ,that’s what’s wrong and causing all the shootings.The liberals will deny but this crap never happened before they started with the PC and all the other crap they shoved down the throats of children.
