the Fed has nothing to do with keeping our schools safe. This is really a non-issue because s hit happens. If someone really WANTS to get into a school and kill people, they will. (look at what happened to the Amish!)
What needs to happen is the students HOMES need to be safer: less hostile / more nurturing. Columbine happened because those kids parents were too concerned with climbing the corporate ladder and making big bucks than their sons' emotional well-being. I got teased a lot in HS; was the most unpopular kid in my whole school actually. If my parents hadn't stood up for me with the principal (who was content to let the bullies lock me in lockers, give me death threats, etc) I might have taken matters into my own hands.
Gun safety starts at home.

These things have been happening since the beginning of time. School violence has not really increased or changed much since the 50's. The biggest difference now is we have the ability to broadcast these events all over the world quickly and cheaply. 30 years ago it was difficult to get a news crew from Kansas information and video on an event in California, let alone it being a live feed.
No I don't think the fed should require a law for mandating school security. They should step up funding to our schools and parents and community leaders need to take more action in their children's lives.
Unfortunately crime will happen, no matter how many steps we take to discourage it. The best we can do is try to teach our children right from wrong and live each day the best we can.

There was a school shooting in red lake Wisconsin where the shooter killed 10 people. The interesting thing about this was after Columbine this school installed metal detectors, cameras, security, and the staff underwent training. Obviously security is not the problem. Installing metal detectors will have a very negligble impact. Access to guns and early intervention with these troubled students is where real progress can be made.

For those who started off all this nonsense about rape being redefined as so many innocuous things or even as any form of heterosexual sex, in the same way as domestic violence is now 'defined' as so many innocuous things, and is only applicable when the complainant is a woman - the same rule applies. They have zero interest in people as human beings - only as a means to an end - yet these same people decry some mythical Patriarchy as perpetrating 'oppression' of women, saying that is is using people as a means to an end. Not only do these people have an absolute lack of interest and concern for the men adversely affected, they also have no concern for the women adversely affected, whether it be by not having a legitimate complaint acted on, or by being gulled into making a false complaint and thus running the chance of criminal prosecution. This is a very interesting game here :- Firstly, if all complaints are accepted and acted on, they win, by being able to point out that men, all along, were the rapists they claim them to be, and thus must be 'oppressors'. This also carries the bonus of disempowering men falsely convicted socially, legally, financially and in every way. (And some try to say that these people are not waging a war against us!). Secondly, if genuine complaints are turned away, they can shout from the rooftops that women are being abused and discriminated against by the Patriarchy, in the guise of police and the judiciary. Thirdly, if women are prosecuted for making false claims, they again win by being able to say that women are being abused for making rape complaints and are being oppressed all over again, with the net result being that The Patriarchy has won and it is now fair game for all women to be raped. This is what comes of sitting for too long in perfume-filled rooms and discussing the ins and outs of things - you either lose perspective OR you see a golden opportunity to make a killing any which way you cook the goose! It's a bit like your Kafka trap thing, and I am beginning to wonder if it is a genuine orchestrated campaign, encouraging women to make as many complaints as possible so as to falsely generate some conclusion in their favour.

School violence has declined over the years and is now at an extremely low level. At any given week day there are some 50 million American students & teachers in school. If a city with a population of 50 million had a violence level as low as the public schools, everyone would be ecstatic.

Tough gun laws are not going to help anything. The federal government is a ****** joke. What the hell are they going to do. Parents need to discipline their fuc k of children. Some school can not even afford to operate let alone put in metal detectors. You going to pay for them???

it is time that all the gun carrying, right to bear arms believers were put in a big room together, left to shoot it out amongst themselves and left the rest of the population to enjoy their lives without fear of being gunned down by some fruitcake with a grudge that's 100 years old!

No. It's time that the spineless politicians stop pandering to the NRA and pass tough gun laws, so that these types of incidents won't happen at all. Law makers are suppose to protect the safety of their constituents, not ignore our safety while being bribed by special interests.
