There are many conservative talk show hosts who predicted that this administration was just waiting for some tragic occurrence such as this so they could hit the ground running at full speed with the gun control issue.
Regarding school security......the idea of limited access (single secured entry point) with armed security present is an idea that makes sense. We have armed security at courthouses and government buildings. Isn't a school a quasi-government building?
An armed guard with a "mantrap" type choke point entry setup would have VERY possibly averted this incident. Would I be willing for tax money to go toward this end? You bet your ass I would! BUT......I also want them to STOP spending that money on useless shit at the same time. If that occurred I really believe that school taxes would show very little or no increase and the safety of the kids would be increased immeasurably.
It's a damn shame that we even are discussing an issue such as this but it's the state of things as they are.
