Remember I'm curious not criticising. Guys if we accept the US has lots of guns both legal and illegal, and good people and bad people. So why dont US schools REGARDLESS of size do what many British schools have done, IE Accept young people do stupid things and FENCE off each school completely and only allow access through one or two entry points fitted with scanners / metal detectors or even campus cops? The shootings are not going to stop thats a simple fact but making it much harder for bad people to access the school grounds IS ACHIEVABLE ........ isnt it ?

Thats whats is being done , school security . Here in My County in Middle TN there is only 2 entrances and after Class begins only 1 door at each entrance will open . There is a office at each entrance with receptionist . A armed County Officer is assigned to each School . Other States are doing the same . Only liberal run areas are refusing to secure the Schools and demand more gun control .

Makes sense to me, in the UK we had multiple stabbings within schools a few years ago, now most schools are being 2 meter high security fencing with access controlled doors, in the worst schools staff use metal scanners as the students arrive. Its just common sense to secure the campus perimeter and limit / control points of acess.

Bit of a hero teacher in todays shooting

When counting school shootings in the U.S the left counts suicide , bullets that may have struck the building or parking lot fired from who knows where , domestic situations that happend on or near school property , street gang violence that happend on or near school property or just reports of gun shots being heard near schools . So the reported 22 school shootings in 2 years are actually 9 school shootings in 22 years .

Absolutely, when the NRA has plans in the safe school program since who knows when and schools are not taking advantage of it, well, that says something about the school system doesn't it? Harden targets! This is done for businesses,private homes, courthouses, etc., but doing it in public schools where people are getting shot is not a priority. I don't know what the H is wrong with people. Seems like common sense is getting rarer all the time.

They also include any negligent "misfires", even if by law enforcement persons.

Exactomundo, if the schools are as porous as a sieve you have a sh1tload of vulnerabilities to be easily exploited by the loons. But if the campus is fully secure with controlled entry and exits you cut the threat level by 95% or more. Fencing is cheaper than funerals.
