The last school I was in had some coaches, a Vice Principle and a couple of teaching staff who were ready willing and able to take on such a role. Teachers are heavily screened with background checks so it wouldn’t take much to determine who should be authorized. The additional advantage here is that a shooter would not be able to make any assumptions like they could if there were a guard station. I favor this approach. ..volunteers heavily screened, appropriately trained, and anonymous to an attacker. In addition.......a uniform (computerized) comprehensive background check for all gun transactions that must be completed in 24 hours and at minimal cost. In addition, the mental heath issue must be examined closely including the role of psychiatric drugs and especially the link between confirmed mental illness and the background check data base. (apparently the Va Tech shooter was confirmed mentally ill but it was not disclosed in the background check). In addition, these so called "No Carry Zones" must be outlawed as the overwhelming majority of these mass shootings occur in them. They make NO sense. In addition......stiff mandatory jail sentences for gun crimes.
