So, What's the Solution?

The talking heads are wound up again this morning; just like yesterday and the day before. They're analyzing, pontificating, theorizing, rehashing information, interviewing anyone they can, and turning the actions of a young loser into a sensation for ratings.

I'm tired of this. With the knee jerk reactions by the ignorant added to the mix, news for the last two days is a constant source of aggravation. The entire event of the shooting in Florida can be factually reported in a few paragraphs, yet there is no relief from the media circus.

If the media didn't make these events such a star studded show, those with the propensity to do such things wouldn't find the attention they desperately want. With the exposure, they know they'll be in the limelight for decades and receive a legacy, which they would never have without their terrible actions.

I heard many talking heads giving their opinions on what needs to be done. The opinions range from gun control to armed security roaming the halls of schools. While most probably have good intentions, I doubt many have even the tiniest grasp on what is really wrong, since they're a big part of the problem.

If people want their schools to be safer, they need to have firearm training as an elective class. That, allowing teachers concealed carry without restrictions, and a simple system of security like all petrochemical facilities. The extra security may be a minor inconvenience for parents, but it would remove the ability of former students, or students with removed security passes, access to the school.

From my vantage point, schools are like fenced in sheep pens with open gates. Predators have full access, and the sheep are defenseless. It doesn't need to be this way, and those thinking the federal government should arrive at the solution are as ignorant as the sheep in the pen.
