School Shooting Solutions

As the old saying goes, “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”  Apparently in Parkland, Florida, this is not the case. The police were literally only seconds away, and they did not show up. This fact gives credence to claims that citizens with concealed carry permits and trained teachers carrying guns on school grounds in the United States should be the primary answer to mass shootings, especially school shootings.

Thousands of times each year, lives are saved and crimes prevented by the “good guys with guns.”
