A Pennsylvania school district is arming its roughly 500 teachers with 16-inch baseball bats in an effort to boost security in the wake of the Parkland school shooting.
The bats, which will be kept locked in each classroom, are mostly “symbolic,” Hall said.

One of those 3 solutions would actually improve the situations tremendously and make students safer against ruiners of family photos that go off the rails...

Only 50.0001% of America needs to "buy it," man... obviously there will be those against it, that's to be expected. The beauty of democracy is that an issue like this only needs a simple majority to fix the problem properly.

Here's the thing, it is no longer the case that only bad guys have guns in "no gun" zones. There is a growing number of smart, discrete, and quiet good people now using common sense and saying "Uh, yeah... you can shove your gun free zone" and doing what they need to do to keep themselves and their families safe.

I'll play for the hell of it... why hasn't anyone proposed teachers with tazers? They're non-lethal, and would certainly be more effective than rocks or bats.
