The Right are all coalescing around the “solution” - turn schools into fortresses, with a single entry point guarded by one or more heavily armed police officer.

I looked it up - there are 190,000 schools in America. So, that’s hundreds of thousands of new police officers, whose job is to do nothing all day, at the gate. Who would volunteer for, or take that job? And are they really who you want to give a gun to, and charge them with keeping children safe?

They have no intention of appropriating the funds that would be necessary to pay for that. As soon as the news cycle moves on, they’ll drop it.
