Maybe someday Idiot school officials will figure out that locking the dang doors just might keep people with evil intentions from just walking into a school. And worse is that these rocket scientists are in charge of our kids education not just their security.
Denver Shooters just walked right in...........

No different than the rocket scientist in the White House in charge (along with Putin) of our country.
And you're awfully disrespectful equating a dead teenager who's body isnt cold yet to anything Trump has done. Go to hell.
"Bite me" could be construed as bullying. It certainly isn't necessary or constructive. You're only real purpose on this board is to troll others as offensively as possible, which I was sure to note when I reported you.
"Dude shut up", could be construed as bullying. It certainly isn't necessary or constructive. If I was a troll it's not a MoSports impeachable offense, telling someone to "Go to He!! is. Which I was sure to note when I reported you. Bye bye DD. I'm done with you, I choose not to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
I ran a lot of errands today. I "walked right in" 7 different buildings. One a government building. 4 businesses. One office building. One bank.
I guess there are rocket scientists all over the country. We could spend billions restructuring every building in America and hiring millions of trained security guards or we could simply pass gun legislation requiring background check, licensing, registration, training and smart gun technology(which currently exists) so only a gun's owner can use it.

I admire this post. Duck is truly concerned with his fellow man and wants to end these kinds of tragedies . I do as well.
However, none of the above listed remedies will have any effect on bad guys with guns. Background check is already in place, licensing and registration applies to law abiding citizens , ( not the people committing these acts). SGT is of no value because of the massive amount of guns already in circulation that do not require it.
I don't know the answer, I admit, but making it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their loved ones is not the answer. I am open to discussion on this. Better gun laws going forward, more perimeter controls, tougher laws to keep bad people incarcerated? IDK
I appreciate Duck having a thoughtful post, versus posting tweets from nobodies.
BTW, SBT is still a troll who brings nothing to this board. He needs to get a job, other than helping his mommy clean the PBJ off the counter.
You are delusional, there are 350 million guns more or less in this country. Even if you could make all of that stuff happen it would take decades to have any impact.
I was working in Kuwait City back in November,,to get into the marina mall you go through a metal detector and they search your bags. The entire thing takes about a minute.
These monsters walked in the front door of the school unchallenged carrying a gun in a guitar case like they were Jimmy Cagney in an old mobster movie, walked into a classroom that didn’t have the door locked and look what happened.
Simply by controlling access points and securing a classroom door there is a real good chance this would have never happened.
In a matter of a few days procedures and equipment could be in place that would go a long ways to actually doing something to protect kids in schools.
But left wingers would rather go jousting at windmills than attack a problem rationally
You conveniently ignored the biggest game changer. Smart gun technology. The NRA went berserk when this became a thing. Any gun shop who offered these weapons were attacked like they were ISIS. It is a huge part of changing the world for the better and still allow people to own guns.
Because the tech is unproven. If there's legit smart gun tech (that consistently allows the gun to work for the designated operator) then I'm all for it. Until then you're pushing for a fairy tale.
I did not ignore smart gun technology. I stated SGT is of little value because of the enormous amount of guns circulated that do not have it. Would it help going forward? Possibly, but it is different than cars for example, which wear out in 10-12 years. It will be 100 years before you see a reduction in weapons that are not outfitted with this technology.
We need to come up with a worthy idea on how to stop these things from happening sooner than SGT technology.
One thought is to quit coddling little Jimmie and Jane into thinking everyone gets a trophy. Kids these days cannot handle adversity. When they get slighted or bullied a little bit, they come to school with a gun looking to make other people pay for their inadequacy. This didn't happen 30 years ago when I was in school.
Another thought is to secure our schools better. Do I like the thought of schools locked down and resource officers in the school, no, but we have to adjust to the new reality. Why should it be harder for me to pick up a package at Fed Ex than enter a school with hundreds of children and unarmed adults?
As I said, I don't know all the answers, but we need to be figuring it out.
Smart Gun technology so only the owner can use it??
Exactly how does this stop the owner of a smart gun from walking into a classroom and shooting a bunch of children with it?
I think I am missing something here unless the smart guns are smart enough to determine who should (or shouldn’t) be shot
I see his point in that someone couldn't disarm you and use your gun against you or someone couldn't steal your gun and use it in any manner they wanted.
My question becomes, how hard would it be to remove or hack the smart tech? If someone could still steal the gun, take 30 minutes and have the smart gun so they could use it, it wouldn't really change anything.
current smartgun technology just has basically an electronic safety that mimics the manual safety on the weapon. when you rip all of the electronics out of it then it becomes a regular handgun since the additional safety cant be energized.
they are a terrible idea. Say your wife is at home alone, middle of the night someone is breaking into your house. She cant get to your gun and use it to defend herself and your children because it will only fire if its you using it.
Police are against them for the same reason, if they are in a gunfight they cant just grab a weapon and continue the fight, it has to be their weapon or it wont shoot
Almost all mass shootings are carried out by people who legally obtained the weapon and passed a background check.
