18: The number of times a firearm has discharged a live round on a school campus in the U.S. in the first 45 days of 2018, according to @Everytown. Enough with the hollow "thoughts and prayers" from lawmakers. We need action. #StonemanShooting tnvge.co/qUpiSBH
Among the victims, 17 people are confirmed dead and 14 are injured. Others are still missing. #StonemanShooting tnvge.co/VKxWibH

1) Let me, a Broward schoolteacher near Marjory Stoneman Douglas, give a perspective on school shootings from the inside.
2) Once a year, my co-workers and I are birefed by a LEO on what to do if a gunman enters the school.

Inevitably, we listen to the stories of gun violence at similar schools.

I realize the LEO has given this spiel so much, it's automatic.
3) Rarely, an intimidating stranger will stroll purposefully down the main hallway of a school.

They are either a pissed-off parent, the plainclothes cop you're expected to stop in a drill, or the man who'll orphan your children.

Decide.

2/ No law can stop all crime. What laws do (like laws against running red lights) is give law enforcement a way to enforce and prosecute.

Here are a few ideas to improve safety and gun laws.

3/ Require all transfers via FFL's. Without a background check, non-licensed sellers can't know if a buyer is prohibited from buying a gun. Only 9 states and DC require background checks on private sales of all guns.
