I got bombarded on Youtube with this shooting from Italian media.
Apparently this is the panem et circensis of the moment.

So less doors is part of a good plan. Just not enough on its own.So Representative Kevin McCarthy, the current minority leader of Congressional Republicans, suggested a solution to prevent a horrific shooting like this from ever occurring again. Is it to add more security systems to our schools? Allow cities to deputize citizens who are willing to protect our children and their schools? Give states a budgetary increase in their mental health services? No. It instead is to reduce the number of doors in our schools.
Kevin McCarthy Says COVID Funds Should Be Used to Reduce Doors at Schools
McCarthy said COVID-19 funds should be redirected to "allow the schools to use that to have one central point of entrance to protect these kids."www.newsweek.com
My issue with this is that it's just going to make the problem worse, not because the idea is wrong per say; access control is a big part of security as you mentioned. I just don't think the current paradigm for SROs and dedicated security in schools would be able to adapt. BEFORE we put something like this in place, we need to up the training and, more importantly, the follow through for security procedures already in place. The school already had security systems and personnel that failed utterly at their purpose. That failure needs to be addressed before we ever get to redesigning school buildings.So less doors is part of a good plan. Just not enough on its own.
Sure you need plenty of fire exits. You can make those doors one way.
But access control is a huge part of security you have one entrance and then you only need one guard. It's far easier to lock down one entrance.
This would be effective as part of a comprehensive plan.
None of this is wrong. But we can start putting one way locks on doors right now, and there's no good reason not to.My issue with this is that it's just going to make the problem worse, not because the idea is wrong per say; access control is a big part of security as you mentioned.

Or, you know, stop substituting parenting with publicly funded indoctrination facilities.
I mean I know people who turn 18 and go buy gunsPeople keep talking about the price of the guns forget that he likely never was gonna pay any debt he got into to buy them.

That's the one thing that isn't surprising. He had a vehicle, he could drive to get it.Sure. But from what I heare there wasn't a local shop to Uvadale with the guns he had. He would have ordered them from other places. And they got there surprisingly fast...
As Roc said.Sure. But from what I heare there wasn't a local shop to Uvadale with the guns he had. He would have ordered them from other places. And they got there surprisingly fast...
13 times Texas police have changed their story of what happened during the school shooting that left 19 children dead
Texas public safety officials and police have offered contradicting and muddled statements about what happened at the Uvalde elementary school.www.insider.com
Uvalde is midway between Del Rio, TX and San Antonio and also between Piedras Negras and San Antonio. It's a main stop in drug smuggling and human trafficking.Starting to look like Uvadale wasn't just some sleepy small town...
Uvalde Schools Locked Down at Least 48 Times This Academic Year
In October 2021, Mayor McLaughlin reported the district had been forced into lockdowns 48 times largely due to human smuggler pursuits.www.breitbart.com
That is rather disingenuous and you know it. There has been enough time between then and now to make 'casual' searches to find incidents impossible, let alone any possible 'scrubbing' to fit a narrative...@Aaron Fox
People used to bring guns to school all the time - there used to be shooting sports for crying out loud. This during a time when it was far easier to purchase a firearm. There were not these mass shootings back then, yet after decades of gun control measures and restrictions, we have them now. What's different between back then and now? Hint - it's not access to guns, because it was way easier to get a hold of one back then.

What the hell are you smoking? If there were actually a history of school shootings back when shooting sports were still offered in school you can be damn sure the anti-gun lobby would be trotting them out to attack the pro-gun side. There would be books, articles, and videos screaming about how this is a hundred year old issue that evil republicans have defended to kill more children or some nonsense.That is rather disingenuous and you know it.

Not to mention the many, many projects dedicated to converting it all to digital format via OCR. Which then gets ingested into searchable databases.Ok that's bullshit incidents put into the paper get put into mircrofice to save them. Most colleges have decades of news paper in microfiche that shit doesn't just vanish.
