we can protect or airports,why not or schools?

First, historically there have been far more interest in taking advantage of airports with crime. Whether it be trafficking of drugs or humans to international hijacking or mass terrorism that costs our country greatly, airports have a justifiable need for protection. This is why many major airports have their own police department in addition to the TSA and Customs and Border Protection at the ports of entry. While school shootings can be horrible, their frequency and the overall impact they have on society in general does not rise to the level of major terrorist matters.

Sandy Hook was a horrible incident, and we all wish it never happened, but it did not result in any huge economic loss for a region or entire country, or cause serious military response, or the like.

Second, there are maybe 50 major airports in the United States. That's a guess However there are 50 schools just within my single county in Texas I live in. The fact is it's far easier to protect 50 airports than it is to protect thousands of schools.

What's more, by entering an airport we know we give up certain rights. Students in school, however, do lack some rights as well but to completely lock down schools the way we do airports would result in a restriction of rights in unacceptable ways. It's one thing to temporarily suspend rights when someone chooses to go to an airport and fly. It's a whole other thing to suspend students' rights every single day so they can attend a school that the government requires they attend.

I think you are misinformed. Schools are usually protected by rules. Such as: guests must have a guest-pass, which usually requires a search of their bag or making them leave their bag at the school administration office, etc.

Now. The actual issue is, the school that suffered in the recent shooting did not have any rules in place about these things. They were in a small, humble town, and assumed that everyone was nice. The shooter was the son of a teacher, why would you not let him go see his mother? No one could predict that he was going to shoot his own mother and kill the children.

You can't prevent everything. It's just a shame when these things happen. Do you want to send your kids to a school with armed guards, what kind of message is that sending? That they should depend on guns to be safe? That guns solve all our problems? That guns are normal?

Schools should not be turned into armed Camps.

Let us take better precautions for the time being and bring about stricter gun laws and ban military type weapons and certain ammunition. It will make a difference down the road.

MADD started what was thought to be a losing battle but we have been winning there as well

All good things start with small well thought out steps.

Because it wouldn't work...

Want proof? There were two armed Officers on duty at Columbine during that shooting, and an entire SWAT team on the Virginia Tech Campus the day that tragedy happened...

You can't "legislate safety"...

Can you guess what year the first "multiple shooting" happened at a school in North America? Try before you click this link, and see just how far off you were...

i don't think of the answer lies with faculties considering the fact that, presently, instructors have few rights to dole out perfect punishments alongside with a caning (considering the fact that, enable's settle for it, detentions and punishment exercises are a chortle to many thugs) and are frequently victims themselves of faculty violence, the answer lies in the regulation and oldsters themselves. What in the international have been the pathetic father and mom of those boys doing? Why are they not heavily disciplining their sons? And why is the regulation not retaining the 'solid' childrens from the thugs who roam college corridors? that's time the regulation replaced into replaced to crack down not person-friendly on little ones who carry knives and incite violence. issues like the youngster's Panel are ineffective. childrens like this must be locked up alongside with their ineffective father and mom. it additionally should be talked approximately that there are a number of good immigrant childrens accessible to boot as extremely some British born, white childrens who carry knives. enable's not make it a controversy approximately race and quite of a typical difficulty approximately youthful thugs.

Because locking the doors of a school gives the children a bad feeling. Just because this allows a man with a gun to walk in and start shooting children never seems to bother our politicians!

Only because we lack the resolve.

We are so reliant upon government to do every little thing for us, that are children are slaughtered in far more ways than one.

We have become soft and afraid.

Hope that helps.

It shouldn't cost extra to put a cop or two in schools. It's not like they wouldn't be paid for their time on duty anyway. Put them in plain clothes if it makes people feel better.

they should ,i grew up and live in country where universities and schools have armed guards ...so what's the big deal ?!!

trying to ban guns won't solve the problem ..it didn't work for UK ,Mexico

OUR airports.

You illiterate retard.
