Rather than embrace gun safety reforms, lawmakers have moved forward with an armed guard at every campus.
“A study of 37 school shootings in 26 states found that in nearly two-thirds of the incidents, the attacker got the gun from his or her own home or that of a relative,” the briefing said.
Schools also have generally been safer than the world outside of campus. To again cite Giffords, a federal report found that between 1992 and 2006, a time when gun safety reforms were more stringent, “at least 50 times as many murders of young people ages 5-18 occurred away from school than at school.”
And, finally, let’s also remember that while the Uvalde police response was atrocious, officers were on the scene within minutes and were overwhelmed by an assault-style weapon. It’s hard to imagine one trained officer, or an armed staffer, would fare better. The expectation that the constant presence of a gun on campus will somehow stop another atrocity offers a false sense of security and flies in the face of reality.
