Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting (Newtown, Connecticut)

[garner]

---

I'd like to share a blog from M.D. Creekmore of how we can prevent mass killing in our schools:
Since, the tragic murders of 27 people, including 20 children by a deranged lunatic at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Friday, several readers have sent emails asking for my opinion on how to prevent anything like this from happening again…

Unfortunately, there is no 100% effective way to guarantee that such an event will never happen again, however there are several things that can and should be done that would greatly decrease the possibility.

And no it’s not more gun laws… Someone intent on killing others has no regard for any law in the first place – why anyone would think more laws are the answer is beyond me…

Okay, here is what I think should be done – but regrettably, the powers that hide behind secrete service protection could not care less about my (or your) opinion, but here it is any way…

Considering that these shooters always seek out the weakest target…

I would place an armed guard at the entrance drive that leads up to the school - these could be trained volunteers or plain clothed members of the national guard, or police department. National guard and police officers are paid for their service to our country anyway, and they could work on rotating shifts to coincide with their regular duty times and pay thus costing the tax-payer nothing or very little.
I would have locked doors at all entrances of the building where anyone entering the building would have to be” buzzed in” after being visually inspected by a school employee inside.
I would place “alarms” inside school building at strategic locations that when triggered would automatically call the police.
I would allow teachers (on a volunteer basis and after training) to be armed inside of the school and on school property – weapons could be concealed and the children would not even know that those teachers are armed.
Classrooms would be affixed with strong attack resistant doors and with automatic locks that would automatically lock in the event that the alarm (see #3) was triggered. Or as one reader suggested a simple fortified door bar that teachers can engage from inside the classroom upon hearing the alarm.
These five simple steps are real solutions that would be more effective at preventing this type of thing from ever happening again, than would be any “feel good” gun bans and more useless laws on the books….

Please feel free to pass these five steps to the elected officials and school administrators in your county and state and to anyone else that will listen… Thank you.

The most financially feasible & immediate solution is to secure the perimeter with walls and have an entrance gate manned by a security guard. The rest can follow...

I don't agree with this. They do need to amend their existing gun law or add new ones - especially those that deal with responsibility and safety. The guns used in the massacre were licensed. LICENSED. Obviously there's a lapse there. (If the guns were unlicensed then that would be a different story). Licensed gun owners are supposed to stash firearms, especially guns like that assault rifle, in such a way no one besides yourself has access to them.

They could shorten the validity of gun licenses, with each license renewal requiring the owners to attend seminars on gun safety/responsibility. The home / gun stash should also be checked by authorities upon renewal - that way they'll know you actually have a safe place for your guns besides placing them under the bed.

Furthermore, some states in the US don't even require licenses (Georgia). lol

Jackson: Guns are not the problem - Yahoo! OMG! Philippines

The actor is urging politicians instead to focus on including a mental health component to regulate sales of firearms.
"We need to stop deranged people from getting access to guns," he said.

Guns do not kill the one pulling the trigger will......It's very sad that this happen but people in the US has a right to bear arms it is enshrine in there Constitution unless it is amended or scrap it will remain that way......sad but true!!!!

banning guns wouldn't totally guarantee that the killing will stop.as mentioned by one netizen in another page na guns will still find it's way to the hands of the determined criminal.the same way a determined dopehead would find his drugs.

take a look at switzerland.wala lagi sila daghan problems with criminality despite they are always prepared for war and most of their citizens are armed.people should take a look at the problem deeper before making blah blah blah about guns.

Gun control & mental health care - I think they both go hand-in-hand.

Mental health is a long term investment. Accounting for EVERY mentally unstable person who's about to go on a rampage is no small feat.

There's a reason why people are talking about gun control. The guns used in the massacre were licensed after all.
