The important thing here is that someone make some money off of this. Sort of like defense contracting.

A pathetic comment in how our society has devolved rather than evolve in the last few decades.

Student safety a booming business? So, a lucrative sub-interest in the evil NRA web of blood-for-profit? How long before they have their own lobbyists swarming Congress? Yet another disgusting layer of perversion of our Founders’ dream. And, inarguably, perhaps...the most vile.

I don’t see how

Hidden snipers? I mean? HIDDEN SNIPERS? great idea. I´m looking forward to the first one shooting a kid for having a gun lookalike sandwich. You really do everything to outstupid yourself.

😢

A human, inviting climat for schools seems to be far away...thanks NRA...

Not that long ago, the boogy-man of school safety was asbestos. Don't think any students were ever affected, but billions were spent to remove the insulating material.

First we make it a business to sell weapons to criminals and then we spend taxpayers money to protect our children.

You guys should be ashamed how you politicized that event.

We are all, every one of us, just potential collateral damage of America's 2ndAmendment.

A Dad Made His Kid Walk Five Miles To School In 36 Degree Weather For BullyingThis Dad Made His Daughter Walk Five Miles To School In The Cold For Bullying And then put it on social media because only the best parents make sure to throw in some good ol' public humiliation when punishing their children. Good. Time to build some character. Should have added in the header that Dad followed her every day so no harm would come to her. Saw the video on Facebook. Good for you Dad!

Bomb threats made at Columbine High School, site of 1999 shootingColumbine High School, site of a 1999 massacre by two students, was shut down after receiving bomb threats, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said. Authorities conducted a search, found no suspects, and decided the threat was baseless. It’s the last week of school. Whoever thought it was a good idea for that is most likely going to get in bigger trouble in the future for not coming out about it. Old man with gun deployed. Stupid people should get less coverage.
