When my son (who is now 23) was growing up, the elementary school he went to had electronic locks and cameras on every door. You could not enter the school without being admitted from inside the building, and you were escorted to wherever you had to go. I always thought that they were being overly protective.... now I thank God they had such foresight. Although this is not the single answer, for indeed, there are many...perhaps it's a start, along with guns for teachers with the proper psych profile and training?

Half my teachers would have never passed this, HAHA!!! Worse still was that I was the first to let them know it.....which may explain my childhood disciplinary record......

They do change the laws all the time like you said. One that recently changed in GA was to allow firearms in a vehicle within a church parking lot. Previously changed from no firearms on church grounds......

Sad thing is all this could have been prevented with trigger locks.......especially with a mentally handicapped child living in the house?!?!? I mean, com'on people!!!!!
