Vance’s solutions to school shootings? Better locks, stronger doors and windows and cops.
We’ve done that. It doesn’t work.
You know what HASN’T been tried?
More gun control.
“We have to make the windows stronger and, of course, we’ve got to increase school resource officers. Because the idea that we can magically wave a wand and take guns out of the hands of bad guys, it just doesn’t fit with recent experience.”
No one is talking magic or wands.

Actually what undid it is almost 400 police officers who did nothing.
It doesn’t matter how good your barriers are if the active opponents do nothing.
A door or window can be circumvented. The IDEA is by then cops will take action.
These people did NOTHING.
So, no, the chair wasn’t the problem. We had boots on the ground that did not perform. And they did not perform for over half an hour.
The cop in Florida ran away.
Gun control is the ONLY solution.
@feloneouscat I know. And the police had just come back from intensive training for an active shooter situation. I was just reacting to the specifics in your post. No disagreement.
@feloneouscat Uvalde did that. Hundreds of thousands of dollars into hardening the school. It was undone by a $10 plastic chair.
