You said it leaves poorer communities out, but that would be the definition of poorer community would it not? Seems to me they were not left out.

I agree.
But if we're going to start awarding points to Trump and the NRA because an SRO did his job, that begs the question of how many points do we deduct when an SRO doesn't do his job.
Begging the question is a logical fallacy.
That being said, awarding points over the corpse of innocents is pretty disgusting behavior in general.

But it ok to use the kids from Parkland to score political points for the anti gun lobby?
Tools like these can just as easily be used by a criminal to barricade himself inside a room with hostages.

Im not much of a conspiracy guy, but here we are having more and more frequent things pushing this agenda.
They say they want to save kids, but why arent we talking real solutions to stop shooters? Simple and cheap things like:
I thought we wanted to save kids? Why arent we taking the most common sense, cheapest and most IMMEDIATE measures we could implement TOMORROW to do so?
We arent doing these simple things , were just talking about taking guns, and youre telling me theres no agenda here?
The simple devices above keep a shooter locked in a room or in a hallway with no way to get into a room full of kids, and at the mercy of whatever armed professional is around.
Why, WHY arent these being MANDATED to be had in school like OSHA mandates safety measures for construction sites?
Why? because its not about the kids for the left, its about the damn AGENDA
Why not accept the fact that the kids are pushing the agenda themselves? I mean really...they're old enough to buy guns, but not old enough to be taken seriously when they take umbrage at getting shot? Seriously?

One thing that Tennessee lawmakers are agreeing on: something needs to be done about school security. A bipartisan bill has been introduced that would allow Tennessee school systems to hire off-duty law officers to reinforce school security measures. According to the bill officers would be required to be armed but it would be up to the districts if officers would carry rifles or whether they would wear uniforms. Up to two officers would be offered to a school from a designated list. The program would be funded using civil asset forfeiture money with the state paying officers $50 per school day and $50 for after-school events. Any additional money would come from state reserves.
A Tennessee House subcommittee passed a bill on Wednesday that would allow school employees to arm themselves with a gun. The idea has been gathering speed since the Parkland, Fla. school shooting spree that left 17 students dead. State Representative David Byrd sponsored the bill. The proposal would give school boards and school directors the power to adopt a policy allowing selected school employees to carry a concealed firearm on school property. Byrd introduced a similar law giving that authority to certain school staff members in two rural counties. This new proposal would allow one school employee to carry a gun for every 75 students in the school. The person would need to complete 40 hours of training by either law enforcement or a certified firearms instructor.
These kids are not driving this by themselves. CNN orchestrated an entire production and gave those kids talking points. The kids are def on board, but they did not organize any of this without professional help. They have the backing of an entire political party. The DNC is fundraising for them.

I was referring to that poster’s suggestion that parents could pay for these security issues and not have it be taxed.
