    It’s not just unethical, but evil that our nation continues to allow school shootings to happen with no measurable action whatsoever. Gun control may be years or decades away. We must make our schools like our airports or federal buildings. An essential interim solution.

        This will make schools safe but export the problem: shooters will choose other locations. Time for sensible legislation NOW.

        Nope, nope, nope - then the goal line gets moved further down the field and we’re stuck with no gun control and armored schools with Judge Dredd roving around - not the present or future we need for our kids

        Jailing students is no solution. There isn't enough money for school supplies as it is.

        No. Vote the politicians out. Use the ballot. Mobilise our angry kids, elect progressives and use Wolf Pac. That's the only interim position. #GunControlNow #GunReformNOW #VoteThemOut #UseTheBallot #Everytown

        Wonder which groups of students will be more likely to be singled out and harassed by this new violent authoritarian set of employees? 🤔Maybe we don't put more terrorists in schools to protect from the old ones.

        Please highlight the fact that @browardsheriff would rather go after rappers for weed, than follow up on school shooters. @KodakBlack1k

        Many federal buildings have hidden security systems in addition to multiple security guards. There is no way that this is feesible to implement across the country without a sizable investment of resources. Teachers are buying their own supplies across the county. Gun control now.

        Our legislators can take action right now to re instate the assault weapon ban and other laws to protect us. We have to vote for the #BlueWave2018 and get in all #gunsense legislators! Enough is enough.

        We have to act, but consider unintended consequences. Couldn’t turning schools into checkpoints support the culture we’re trying to change by diverting already scarce ed funding to the security industry & perpetuating a siege mentality & further militarization of everyday life?
