[QUOTE="chuter, post: 2020672, member: 13693"] I just sent the following to my reps, senators, and the pres. Regarding school violence; we all know (including you, Mr. President) that another gun law won't prevent tragedies like the latest school massacre by a murderer in Conn. I would like to propose a 3-pronged approach to reducing school violence: 1.Prevent 2.Deter 3.Prepare 1. Prevent Mental Health: Earlier recognition of mental problems Readily available avenues for getting help Cultural Shift: The "culture of gun violence" stems from the media and video games. Please reference the book "On Killing" by Col. David Grossman. He has done a lot of research in this area and is a well-known authority on the subject. Of course prevention treads into some very difficult areas regarding free speech and determining who is a danger, but it must be dealt with to some degree. Some leadership from the White House in this area would be effective. 2. Deter Make it known that our schools are not easy targets. Make it known that there are armed personnel (some in plain clothes) in each school, the doors and windows are hardened, and entry can only be gained by passing a single screening station. 3. Prepare Prepare to take action if violence does break out. Harden the windows and doors. Have trained, armed personnel in each school. These people can be security guards, police officers, National Guard troops, or school administrators and teachers if they are so inclined. Thank you for considering these points, [/QUOTE]
