[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'm sure this has been asked and answered in this thread but I can't comb through 30 pages.

Obviously gun control is the answer here. But in lieu of actual sensible reform, why can we not secure these school buildings? I work in a hospital. It's badge in, badge out. No exceptions. There's three big-@ss security guards at every door (and only two entrances). No sketchy teen with a backpack full of anything is getting past these guys.

I'm trying to figure out how an 18 yo blows into an elementary school in body armor with a backpack. Why  wouldn't we start with a simple security fix??

I worry for your patients if you are this naïve.  You think a gun can’t get past three “big @ss” security guards?  My dear, that is the entire point of a gun- to give the weakest, flabbiest man the power to kill anyone or anything.[/quote]

Ignoring your rude comment towards my patients, security guards are *but one* measure of establishing safeguards around a vulnerable population. Others include ID requirements, badge access, check in/out, etc etc. The county courthouse should not be safer than the elementary school. My point is that building security is low-hanging fruit and should be addressed while we work towards safer gun laws.[/quote]

Really. So asking for a badge will stop this guy? The rounds from these weapons will go through walls. You can easily shoot your way in to a building. Your hospital is not secure. I noticed you ignored the post saying there was security most likely better vs your hospital but stay on this theme. Better arm yourself with something that can penetrate Kevlar vest.

So how much do you think that security guard gets paid. Do you think it is enough to protect you? What would you do in the place of the security guard? [/quote]
