        Please, Governor, look to Israel for advice on how to stop & prevent school shootings. It's working for them.pic.twitter.com/fDbgu6gMz7

        I agree we should look at Israel. I hope you realize that Israel has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, in additional to required military training for nearly all citizens.https://www.timesofisrael.com/comparing-america-to-israel-on-gun-laws-is-dishonest-and-revealing/ …

        I was ONLY talking about the fact that, in answer to a school shooting in 1974, Israel chose to arm and train their teachers. In only 2 instances of shootings since, the teachers killed the shooters.

        Several layers of security including metal detectors and bag checks, and everyone, even students have to wear their ID. My kids went to a school outside of Detroit that had this & security guards. You need every school to implement it including 1 secured & monitored main entry.

        Governor - we don't need to find solutions, we need leaders with the courage to enact solutions that we all know will save lives. We are the only industrialized country that has this problem - and the only one without any common sense gun control.

        Hopefully it includes more law enforcement or guards. If not, then at least metals detectors. Not pretty, but a small price to pay for our kids safety. It’s the world we now live in unfortunately.

        Someone once said 9/11 happened one time and never happened again. Treat schools like airports. Want to visit grandma you follow the process, why not put the same process in place? Locked down, guards, metal detectors and ect. Never happen again

        What about restaurants and army bases and other public spaces? What about domestic violence and suicide? Do something about guns.
