This Father who lost his daughter in the shooting in Florida is the ONLY one that makes any sense... He is absolutely right! It is not Trumps fault, or the NRA or the fault of the Gun Laws.
It is the FAULT of the schools not doing more to keep the schools safe. The schools need to implement a new SAFTEY system...each school or school district should ASSESS the school and depending on the surrounding area will depend on what should be done for each school. Some schools may need metal detectors. some schools need metal detectors and armed guards at every entrance. ALL SCHOOLS should enclose the school within a gate and have LESS entry points...as it is now, every kid has a School ID card. these cards could have the strips added to it and every entrance must have the strip swiped...every kid won't have access to every entrance point. ETC....so many things to consider. Hire security experts, have them assess the situation and change the schools security protocols.
This guy has the RIGHT IDEA! I agree with him 100%...
Just changing the laws and making it more difficult to get a fire arm is NOT going to KEEP KIDS IN SCHOOL SAFE! Schools need to make MAJOR safety changes.

The only person at fault is the shooter. The search for someone else to blame is societal self-flagellation and quite frankly, I find it an obscene self indulgence.
-People SHOULD pay attention to "off" behavior's but we don't because the odds are that none of us will ever get close enough, or be astute enough to recognize a real threat. Hyper-vigilance is exhausting, it pisses off the people around you, and then there is that pesky Constitution. How many socially awkward, isolated, bullied, and or mentally ill 19 year olds with access to firearms didn't shoot someone on February 14th, and will NEVER shoot someone?
-Law enforcement is great when we need them and they are there. But when we don't think we need them "Who invited those guys to the party?" It doesn't matter that you aren't their person of interest. Its creepy. We don't want to think the worst of people we know. And, we don't want to get someone "in trouble." If every tip was fully investigated... well let's just say it would exhaust the public's resources. If resources have to prioritized, as sure as rain, a misjudgment is coming. If we crucify people for simple misjudgments..., no one will take the job.
-School's and Tax payers, If I told you that you personally paying $100 more a year would cut the number of school shootings in half, would you pay $100. What if it was $1K, $10K, $100K? Well if there is some dollar figure that is just too much for you, after a cost benefits risk analysis, kids dying just isn't top priority anymore. Personally I worry more about the lack of seat belts on school busses, and railroad crossings without barricades, than armed assailants coming through the door. I guess I'm just a jackass.

Thanks Sgt Kelli Mays for sharing a heartfelt perspective which won't be covered by MSNMC, CNN or the New York Times most likely.
I concur with the assessment of grieving dad - Andrew Pollack, whose daughter, Meadow, died in the shooting, spoke about the need to make change now:
"The schools need to implement a new SAFTEY system...each school or school district should ASSESS the school and depending on the surrounding area will depend on what should be done for each school. Some schools may need metal detectors. some schools need metal detectors and armed guards at every entrance. ALL SCHOOLS should enclose the school within a gate and have LESS entry points...as it is now, every kid has a School ID card."
