Reducing School Gun Violence Without More Guns

 

Fictitious Dramatic Situation

Parents take their child to the ER, when they discover their little girl had just drank a poisonous substance.  The doctors rush in and ask, what’s wrong? The parent tell the doctor their child drank some poison, the doctor pauses and thinks, and says, “She needs to drink more poison!  Let me ask you, Would you take this doctors advice? (End Fictitious Dramatic Situation)- So why do some people think that we need more guns in and around our schools to combat gun violence against our children and educators at our schools.  The fact is the law of averages, in time, will show that this is a wrong prognosis.  We raise the level of threat to our children.  I’m sure no one asked the children what they want?

The prescription the NRA give, is that, “the ONLY effective way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun” was a single-minded, dual purpose suggestion that is actually not the only or the best answer.

The day NRA’s La Pierre’s held his press conference, one week after the wholesale slaughter of precious Newtown babies and educators, It was nothing more than a free infomercial to ramp up gun sales and NRA membership.  La Pierre took a sick advantage of the pain and fear of the moment to enrich his self the gun lobby, all at the expense of those children who had already paid a price and the parents that lost such precious treasures, and the dedicated educators.    La Pierre simply wanted to prey upon the fear, frustration, pain which resulted from the horror that was unleashed, as a direct results in his efforts to bribe and intimidate elected officials to not enact laws to keep these guns out of the hands of felons and madmen.  His single-minded effort was to manipulate and exploit the fears of educators and parents for financial gain, power, and to influence or intimidate Congress. Maybe he’s a bit of madman himself.  If the he and the NRA had not been so aggressive in fighting for lax gun controls, those children and educators might have been yet alive today.  Here’s the problem with the NRA proposal.  How do you decide that anyone has an undetected medical condition that can lead to a mental break later?**  How can you tell if a good guy is a bad guy in disguise?  And how can you determine if one of the good guys will turn bad?  We cannot.

**New update: A clear example of this recently occurred.  Christopher Dorner,  former military and a law enforcement officer, a highly trained professional reportedly committed murder. This is a clear example of how it can happen at a school, college or university

Jesus himself said in Gethsemane when Apostle Peter pulled out his sword,   “They that take the sword shall perish by the sword”.  Here is the best real prescription: The very best defense against a bad guy with a gun is to prevent them from getting a gun in their hands in the first place!  That’s better than more guns.  What if the good guy doesn’t see the bad guy coming and gets taken out first?  Now the bad guy has the good guys guns and ammunition, maybe some body armor and quite possible some keys to get access to locked doors inside the school to boot.
There are some very powerful safety measures that can be used that can help resolve school gun violence, without guns

  1. Electronically Controlled Locks on the Entryway and Classroom Doors
    These doors can be controlled by the teachers in each class room, security if available, and administrative staff.  The doors would be unlocked during normal hours and activated only when there is a threat.
    -
  2. Bulletproof Doors.
    Bullet proof doors which will be able to withstand penetration by any bullet on all building entryways and class rooms.  Not having the bulletproof doors defeats the electronic locking which can be shot out.  There are doors that will actually withstand small explosive charges Be sure you find out the private customer price before letting them know it’s the government or they will gouge the taxpayer big time.  Current doors can be augmented with Bullet proof panels on the classroom side of a door
    -
  3. Bio-metric Door Locks.
    These locks can be programmed to staff, faculty, administration, security and local police.  the locks must have the actually unlocking circuit away from the door to prevent tampering, only the sensor should be near or on the door and in a protective casing, added layer of security would be to have them on each classroom if desired and teachers and the top administrators should be the only ones programmed in.  (see Fist Technology for more information on effective fingerprint ID sensors).  these doors should be unlocked at all times and activated during a attempt to breach the school building.
    -
  4. Bio-Metric Gun Locks.
    This is great technology that needs to be on every gun and rifle manufactured.  These guns will not fire unless the owner has the gun in their hand.  These guns cannot be turned on the owner, and will not work if stolen.  If the chip or sensor is removed, damaged or destroyed, the gun would become completely inoperative.  This alone might help end the threat once and for all.   All secondary legal sales must be and exchanges made in local precincts or government offices and the chip calibrated to the new owner.  Guns purchased to sell in the illegal market would be useless. New Guns will be initially programmed by most gun sellers, but they will not be able to calibrate afterward.   Dealers will only be able to re-calibrate guns after a special training course.  All transactions and calibration must be recorded, like credit card transactions are; logged in a clearing house, where dealers have a special accounts and perhaps legal gun owner can have a private account so future gun purchase processes are made easier. This is a big Idea because it can actually begin to end illegal gun sales add gun trafficking on our southern border.

  5. Safe Rooms for Students and Teachers in Halls at Lock-down.
    During a threat, student can be in the lavatory or in hall ways or changing classes.  We need at least one safe room per floor where children can take refuge and be safe if not in class.  Rooms like the gym, conference rooms, main office, Teacher’s lounge etc… can be used
    -
  6. Secure Subterranean Escape Routes.
    This can be an alternative or additional level of security.  New construction plans should include this option. These will have a bulletproof door to cover teacher and student escape to a safe nearby structure
    -
  7. A Video Monitored Perimeter and School Grounds.
    Security can watch grounds for intruders, unidentified vehicles near or approaching school and can alert local law enforcement faster and keep them abreast of where the intruder is and if he’s trying to gain illegal access to the campus.  They can relay that information to the law in route.  All hallways, stairwells and possibly all classrooms are monitored during an assault attempt.

-
We can protect our children without more guns.  In fact we can protect them better with fewer guns around our children.

More To Come

Congress has to finally have the guts to stand against the NRA and it’s agenda and take it’s power away from it.  “No man can have dominion over you as long as you do not give it to them.  They can only dominate you if you abdicate your god given determination and life over to them.” A wise man.  Only when congress recovers from their NRA induced stupor of fear, can they politically sober up and do the will of the people.  The President has the back of the people of  Columbine, Newtown of Aurora and of America, it’s time for us to rise up a United States against The NRA, they are not our government, they are not our leaders, and they do not have our best interest at heart.   we have to have the president’s back.  How? bombard every elected officials in Washington DC, make our voices heard louder and stronger over the NRA payoffs and rhetoric and the command of their gods, weapons, power and influence over congress.  we can defeat them and break their hold over our elected officials; WE ELECTED THEM! NOT THE NRA!   Congress are our elected officials; it is our cast vote that got them in office.

Don’t just call your congressional leaders, but every one you can contact on: Twitter, Facebook, Google+,  Home phone, cell phone and email. whatever and wherever you can.  Do it every month or so and keep it up, don’t let up, talk to friend, family neighbors and co workers (at lunch). ask them how safe would they feel with their children surrounded by guns every day in School?  What if one (sorry no offence) teacher become enraged and out of control then shoots the school up. (people with guns are more likely to use them when angry than at any other time)

God is my shield and my defense in him will I trust, he who can turn the path of a bullet or stop it in its tracks. A God that will not misfires, rust does not need me to protect him and take care of him because he cannot take care of himself, he is my protector and my Savior an in another I will not trust. My God says;

“Deuteronomy. 28:7  The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways”. 

This is God’s promise to those that obey and trust in him.  His power is greater than one million super nova’s, in fact God gives the super nova their power, just as he gives power to the gun, so their  power is minuscule next to God’s.  God is the greatest power, that cannot be exceeded.  He gives victory and protection.  

 UPDATE!

Here is a blog who not only took this blog out of context to it’s readers, but some of the readership’s responses show a clear lack of real meaningful thought.  They just gave a bunch of off the cuff responses.  They belittled every point of this blog, not with facts or experience, nor taken a look at where these ideas found their foundation  “Preppers” and survivalists are purchasing bullet proof and bomb resistant doors and shelters.   Many gun owners have gun locks and bullet proof and bomb resistant gun vaults to protect their fire arms from unauthorized access or destruction.  some of the lockers they purchase have bio-metric locks so only they or their family can access the locker.   Some gun owners have safe rooms in their homes in case of break ins to secure their families, while they face the intruder.

If those commenting  had done some research before making their off the cuff remarks instead of belittle ideaa that has sound merit, things that even many gun owners employ themselves they would not have sounded banal.  Some of their have bunkers and safe routes they set up for their families can take should they find themselves outnumbered or out powered.

They things like bulletproof backpacks now and the purchase the best body armor  and more.  So for all the ridicule and the myriad left wing conspiring they create, this is where we got these idea from, from the right wing survivalist. I guess what’s good for them and their children, is not good for other children.  I believe if we love our children truly, we should use everything at our disposal to protect our children while they are at school and not ridicule ideas that will protect them.  Even armed Guards  can be trick. sniped or out numbered and out gunned, and if that line of defense fails, what will our children do?  Subsequent lines of protection are a common sense approach.  What was proposed can be used as a good plan ‘B’,  and being so flexible in what is implementation,  can also be uses as a workable, stand alone plan ‘A’ also.  you can only depend upon guns if you desire, but ultimately, it is better to depend upon God as a shield and buckler,  a hedge of  protection and a very present help in time of trouble.   God is a deliverer and a powerful ally and in him I will depend.

God is more powerful than any gun man can make, or any  explosive device we can manufacture.  If a gun misfires or the mechanics fail what can you do but call out God’s name. Oh God please don’t let me die (God can turn a bullet out if it’s intended path and miss the target, he can cause a gun not to fire, and he can turn the heart of the gunman that you will survive).  So please think about things before you start labeling them. this was not a leftist ideal as many of you have assumed, it was a conservative Idea.  Just type in bullet proof door, bio-metric gun locks, and door locks (conservative enterprise use these and even retina reading security measure to protect trade secrets and and institutional data.  It’s why some corporate officers have private  elevators in their office and private exits, for safety.  you have ridiculed theses ideas thinking you were so smart and have not yet thought about the things mentioned here.  Both Liberal, moderate, independent and conservative parents want their children safe, this is not a political argument but a human issue.

We all want our children safe.  I have high school and college aged students living in my home and I want them to be safe.  I pray with my children whenever they go to school and travel abroad, as I know and have faith in God to protect my children. I teach Adult and youth Sunday school classes, An elder in the church and a general help. So saying it is left winged is nonsense  since here are many conservatives already using the methods describer here.  The term “without more guns” in the title should have been read without adding any additional guns.  I hope this clears things up and some of you will go look at conservative groups who are preparing for the wars you so lovingly look forward to waging to satisfy the bottled up blood lust that worshipping of guns can inspire.  It’s why Ii have lived my life without the need of protection by a gun “Put up they sword” ( to Peter after he drew his sword to fight when Jesus was cornered in the garden ” for they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” Jesus Christ. God is my protection.  but many do not follow the Creator and the Lord and Savior of mankind so this is for them until they come to  know Christ as Savior.  I’d rather perish with Jesus as my Lord than with any amount of weapons.
