1. Nothing the schools try will guarantee safety. It's all reactive BS for the taxpayers

Every school is built to be evacuated in case of fire. You can't have both. Either you're fire safe or you're terrorist safe.

Terrorists can jump in any window, and they're usually not secure: they're regular glass. Trying to bullet-proof the front door assumes shooters will use the front door. Just plain stupid.

If taxpayers want their kids safe they HAVE to support gun regulation.
