they will NEVER make guns harder to get

so knowing that, this is a small thing that may help. Have a school officer posted at the entrance armed and alert. I guess its better than literally nothing, although the kids can smuggle in a gun

Thatd basically ensure higher death tolls in shooting situations and turn any fire situation into a huge death toll event.

You're not going to prevent mass shootings by doing that. All you're doing is funneling chickens out of the hen roost for the fox to eat.

I swear it's a game at this point to them

What possible explanation or solution can you think of that doesn't involve guns, no matter how bizarre

Next time it'll be "Give all students a horse, because it would be hard to do a mass shooting while on horseback and all the students can ride away from you really fast"

Did he say one entrance AND exit?

It is pretty normal to have limited entrances, but numerous emergency exit only doors. My school had tons of doors that were for emergency exits only.

Are people ITT being purposefully obtuse to try and dunk on a republican? I mean, the TC didn't even provide a link to the actual comment.

He said limit the entrance to one and have police guard that one door so any shooter can't enter.

There is no exit that can't also be used as an entrance, Tommy. Never been to a school where they weren't regularly used as any other door.

So what's wrong with only having one entrance to a school? This is extremely common. All doors to the school are completely inaccessible except for the front door and you need to be buzzed in. I deliver to schools all the time and this is standard operating procedure. This isn't specifically for school shootings, but just a general security measure.

Of course, there are still emergency exits all over the building.

How does it work during a normal day with a school of about 800 leaving for the day? Does everyone exit from the emergency doors?

At my high school of 2,000 all entrances/exits were open for like 1 hour right before school started and right after school ended.

During school hours, all doors could be opened from the inside for students leaving, but only the front entrance that went passed the front office and security office could be opened from the outside, so all visitors had to go to the front. I thought this was standard stuff?

Literally every door in my daughter's HS is locked to the point where you can only open the doors from the inside.

Every student, teacher, or other faculty member needs to be buzzed in by security.

Do you remember the theater shooting in Colorado? The shooter exited through an emergency door and left it opened and then reentered through that door and began shooting. Some people think the shooters are stupid, but they're not and they will find a way.

Fire exits aren't entrances....... you can generally exist but not enter them usually.

In regards to prevention im not sure what they van do in the sort term. They can happen anytime and anywhere across this massive country. Even metal detectors won't help since nothings stopping a shooter from just unloading on everyone beforehand.

Like someone else said. Certain doors can be accessible for certain hours and otherwise locked. This topic isn't the big gotcha you thought it was. This is standard for all the schools in my area and it barely has anything to do with school shootings.
