of hell'

Former President Donald Trump called for an overhaul of school security in the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting and demanded that teachers be armed during a speech to National Rifle Association members on Friday.'Surely we can all agree our schools should not be the softest target our school should be the single hardest target in our country,' he said to applause.
'And that's why as part of a comprehensive school safety plan, it's time to finally allow highly trained teachers to safely and discreetly concealed carry, let them concealed carry.'

Here's how I would provide quick lethal response:
In a nutshell; provide members of faculty/staff with access to hidden, locked, and possibly alarmed lock-boxes where each lock-box contains a loaded firearm and a bright identification bib.
Post and publicize the fact that the facility has lethal response capability.
The number of firearms and their locations would not be publicly disclosed.
That uncertainty would make planning a shooting difficult.
Other defensive measures such as armed personnel or secured perimeter could be incorporated as well, but generally they require high ongoing costs and impose a detracting atmosphere that is not conducive to work, entertainment, or education.
These "other defensive measures" are often a known quantity and can be bypassed. The lock-box plan also minimizes the concern that a guard or armed staff member might be ambushed resulting in their being neutralized with the possibility of their weapon being used by the shooter.
A lock-box will never match the speed of a carried weapon, but it would not be hard to engineer a box hidden in a wall cavity that could be accessed in 5 to 10 seconds and opened in another 5 to 10 seconds. That would probably be less than the time for someone to traverse from one hall (or building) to another.
Lock-boxes allow a redundancy and flexibility that would otherwise not be practical. Also consider the fact that a lock-box firearm could be a rifle thus greatly increasing the effectiveness and accuracy of the defender.
Most other details (procedures; number and location of firearms; type of hidden firearms; staff qualifications, responsibilities, and compensation; etc.) should be worked out with school officials and law enforcement. Particular emphasis should be given for a procedure of armed staff members to safely surrender their firearms to police.

45 is right. The classroom educators are the first responders in a school shooting. Right now they are defenseless. Arm and train them. Harden all schools. Put a real Policeman in each school in America.

But the left finds it easier to blame the NRA! If Trump was President they would blame him!!! The speakers also said schools deserve the same security as banks, celebrities, politicians, malls..Trump also said if we can send billions to Ukraine we can fund school safety. Watch it on rsbn.com

I'm not sure I agree with armed teachers anymore.
Do you want one of these tranny-teaching activists walking around your kid's school, armed?
Armed security? Yes.

7, that's an entirely different problem easily solved. Fire them all. They have no business being around anyone's children in the first place.

If teachers spent as much time at the range as they do pushing their perverted agendas, the kids would be safe.

I can agree with you about what to do with the LGBTQ+ Activists, but which will come first?
I'd be happy with one or two trained and regularly tested armed security personnel with body armor, in charge of campus security. I'd also be happy if teachers were allowed to carry. You wouldn't find those rainbow weasels willingly touching a gun.

The mass shooters, while crazy, are not stupid, and have always chosen unarmed, gun-free targets...not a single one has yet attacked a police station.
To Trump's point, while schools are not police stations, we could do a lot with a little to 'harden' them. With 130,000 K-12 schools in America, the $44 billion we're sending to Ukraine could also pay for $338,000 of extra security per school....that's enough for 3 or 4 armed officers per school, some security cameras, metal detectors, and reinforced doors, and the overhead to manage them.

Security is great but it all falls apart when some stooge leaves a door propped open or is too cowardly to risk his life to save innocent children. The best security in both people and computer systems can be defeated unless the lesson is driven home and they all take the job seriously. Even after this tragedy, how many schools are still focused on teaching Johnny how to question his genitals or to feel guilty because his skin is white?

Banks have armed guards...for protection from perps.
Presidents and celebrities have armed guards...for protection from perps.
It's time to have armed guards in every school...because the next mass shooter would only need an extended magazine handgun to repeat the tragedy at Uvalde.

We have Space Force, how about "School Force" as part of Homeland Security. Get the locals out of school security. They've proven their mettle at Uvalde and Broward. They failed. It took a Border Patrol officer with a shotgun to end the spree in Uvalde, after the shooter was passed by the SRO and missed by the officers responding to his initial shots, aimed at a funeral home. Then the amateur-hour Uvalde police chief stood down everyone responding so he could await more "back up". Just Cracker Jack.
The thing is, had a teacher not propped open an otherwise locked door, this very likely would have all been avoided. What's the cost of keeping a door locked these days? We found out the price of keeping one open.
