Everyone at some point has some form of mental illness from depression to autism to just having a bad day. You cannot send everyone to the shrink a few times a year to gauge how they are doing or their thoughts. Screening is not an option. Banning all guns is not an option in Amercia. We were not founded on those principles. Assault rifles should be harder to get, but that barn door has been open too long to make any dent in curtailing those sales. Proactive is the best defense. Schools get doors that cannot be penetrated, have school officials trained to use a gun if needed, and have people be aware of where they are and what they do and protect themselves. That shooter had a different school targeted, but after research and monitoring, noticed they had too much security for her liking and went to this school. Public places, events, churches, AND schools need armed security and make it well known that the teachers and staff are trained and have firearms located in the school to take out a shooter. If all this is posted and made public, that shooter will find a weaker target.
This has nothing to do with God, but everything to do with our free will and the choices we or others make. |
