Question....should the federal government install Armed UnderCover Officers at all schools in the united states?

School safety is a state issue.

All schools should have security guards that are visible with guns!
Trained police for schools only.

Whether federal or state provides the security!

Better late than never.

If no other measures work better, as a last resort ..

Why would you want "undercover"?... The whole point to to keep people from doing it, not to catch them after... Visible, armed security is the most efficient way to stop it...

No, the federal government shouldn't install armed officers at schools.
School districts might want to hire armed officers, or schools could be treated like the bad walmarts where they have a police substation inside or next door.

I'd say get the insurance companies involved.
Maybe have the federal government demand insurance companies offer "mass shooter" insurance or something to schools.
If a "mass shooting" occurs on the premises the family of each person killed gets a payout of 10 million or something.

Then the federal government can ACA the schools forcing them to buy insurance or have their funding withheld.

Expect all sorts of action taken to secure schools and children once you threaten the money.

Eliminate the structured dumbing down of youth.

Home school your kids.

Then no need for armed guards, or teachers accidentally firing off rounds during school.

with an economy and culture that puts such a precedence on every adult having a 'job' (paid work away from home) it is much less of an option for most to be home to do the home schooling thing with their own kids

Its kind of a viscious circle, parents have to work, they have to depend upon a public system to take custody of kids during those work hours, those kids than are almost as many hours being 'raised' by a public system as they are their families, and that public system can then instill whatever values or political agendas suit their purpose ....

I miss the cultural gender values of old, where raising children was respected as much as a job as being paid to do something somewhere else ... and where parents in both positions were respected and supported in their 'role' ...

Aside from not being the best way to address the problems at hand, I suspect this would require a Constitutional Amendment of some kind.

Placing armed Federal representatives in a State school, would have jurisdictional issues, among other things.

State issue.


But, nah.
Kids should be taught, in any active shooter scenario,
to grab the nearest liberal, and use them as a shield,
while they make their way to safety.

If they are going to put armed officers in schools, I agree they should be visible. Prevention is the best way, not trying to catch them in the act or after the act. That's not going to solve the problem or stop anyone from getting hurt or killed.

I agree with msharmony, as a last resort. It seems to have come to this, but I believe officers bringing guns into school is a bad idea. Guns aren't allowed in schools and having guns around, even if it's in the holster, is asking for trouble. We already have quick trigger police officers shooting first and asking questions later.

Just not a good solution, although I don't know what would be a good solution.

Don't people think that a school guard with exposed handgun and associated security equipment would frighten and intimidate many of the students; and then subsequently acclimatising all the students to weaponised personell being around them, making it 'normal', like in a police state under martial law.

And how many parents bought their 'little angel' a first person shootem up video game, making it 'normal' to wander about killing people in the game, in the first place.
Monkey see - monkey do.
There was nowhere near the same problem 20-30 years ago.

Do you know that children pull pranks, even at school ?
They could soon be deadly pranks.

Bill of Rights - the people of united state have rights to having their own gun.

then if some one who adding this item for it --- only the adult of united state can having this rights........and only limited can buying the single action side arms or small bullet type rifles.......

then cisco rule~~~~~~~~~

only the pussified liberals would think that...every school in Texas has police there, and not one Incident that I've heard of of police pulling their gun on a prankster... And not one Incident where police shot an innocent student... So think of another liberal excuse of why guns are evil...

one state does not prove a trend one way or another

many states with no school shootings likewise have no armed teachers or guards

but plenty of states have seen unarmed people shot by 'authorities' and teachers scared of their students, the mix is not a good environment to arm

plenty of states have had no school shootings in spite of having no armed personnel

plenty of states also are faring pretty low on their educational rankings, with Texas at a stable C-


but we dont need more guns, whatever 'excuse' we argue over, more guns is more sanctioned death at the hands of the easily intimidated or fearful ...

...why!yes !..yes they should they should also install safe rooms in every classroom plus outfit each child with a bulletproof vest... this way we don't have to rely on parents teaching the children right from wrong or keeping loaded weapons from their Sticky Fingers... great idea let's place the ordinance of responsibility.. for our children's actions on the state.. or School Board... rather than where it belongs... on the child and parents themselves.... maybe a more proactive stance against bullying.. might help
