Guys, how can we make our school or university compound the safest place to stay?

If you are writing about the U.S. school tragedies, we could make it safer by recognizing the constitutionality of our second amendment. Self defense (or the threat of it) can save lives.

Wherever you live, I think it's true that crazed maniacs are an occasional fact of life. By definition they are unpredictable and unheeding of the laws normal people obey. But we do have a choice: to choose to be helpless sheep or to choose not to be.

Almost all of those shootings were perpetrated by severely disturbed and disaffected students who had made threats in the past. Others were aware of those threats. If we would pay more attention to troubled students, we would have fewer such incidents.
