24 hours omg
Oh heck no. My kids could never go to school down there

Step it up. Roam the hall with a .50 cal
why not just give the kids guns too…
Alot of those uvalde officers had rifles and still didn't go it
How about putting a lock that works on the doors!!!!
Time to quit teaching and pull your kids out of school.
the conservative christian gop is involved in some very lucrative gun sales on both sides of the school shooting situation. maximizing profits even when children are being killed. how very pious.
👍👍👍👍👍
24 hours is not enough training for a teacher to go against an active shooter. In fact you had police with hundreds of hours of training that were scared.
There are guns all around the world but mass shootings don't happen all around the world. The problem is Americans.
44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day and America is the ONLY country on Earth that has school shootings.
American parents protest at school meetings about? A: School shootings B: Masks.
The US constitution has been amended 27 times and the 2nd amendment is as easy to amend as abortion law.
So the solution is more AR-15 's.
In this current climate in our country I firmly believe that every school resource officer should have a long gun on their person at all times and that there be at least 3 SR officers per school armed with a long gun.
Eye for an eye
The police in Uvalde were armed with the most advanced gear, and they STILL wouldn’t go after the shooter for a really long time! What makes you think a gun and armour upgrade would make any difference?!
Perfect, and also do metal detection and locked doors and teachers all must carry,conceal
Uvalde police officers had AR-15 and ballistic shields. They didn’t save the kids at Robb Elementary. It’s just plain cowardice! AR-15 rifles won’t change the outcome.
Yes the "logical" thing too do, give more kids easier access to deadlier weapons. It's like lighting a bonfire on a frozen lake while ice fishing to keep warm.
Good.
We’re off the rails now. What could go wrong?
I agree with the Sheriff it's no different than a unit showing up at the location with a long rifle. It's (sad )that it's come to this at an institution of learning. But it's a different time in this Country.
All guards, police officers, teachers, doctors, nurses, business owners, pastors, church elders, church deacons, citizens, non-citizens and anyone over 23 without a drug, gang, criminal record or warrants should be armed by the government with Assault Rifles and free ammo by law with fines if you don’t have your weapon with you.
No thanks my kids are not going to a school where teachers and staff are armed with guns how do I know that these teachers and staff will not go crazy one day and end up being a mass shooter ???
Cop is gonna end up shooting a kid. Or kid takes from the officer. Think!!!!
School are like prison anyway
Just brand the guns with GTA5 and flames. Makes sense to not scare them
Those cops protecting those schools are gonna have the chillest jobs. Just wait for a killer and sketchy people.
I love that opening quote, “if you don’t fight violence with violence, you will be violently killed”
USA = Complete Joke
Can we sue the government for failing at their jobs of public safety bec turning schools into Afghanistan is not the answer 😑
Criminals will now target those schools that have arsenals of weapons. Great job!
This is the problem we are still not realising: we are now sandwitching these kids between two AR15 barrels, Uvalde response team had them all and all those guys just stood outside afraid of confronting 1 AR15
most SROs have a rifle in their car already.
so stupid just with camaras and gate security can protect any school! But they are doing a revolution with
nothing can go wrong here…
