The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

For guns that shoot more than so many rounds (I'll let experts decide what that is), there should be more extensive background checks and a waiting period of at least a week. Hunters and avid gunsmen usually plan their trips ahead of time so the wait shouldn't be an issue. Even with this, it doesn't completely stop everything.

Every school should have 1 entrance that has two layers of doors. An armed officer should be at the entrance of the first door at all times. That officer should have to press a "not so obvious to an outsider" button to open the second door.
The High School that I worked at (retired yesterday) operated in a similar fashion. Only one entrance for visitors with two sets of doors, the second one locked and manned by campus security. (There is also campus police consisting of two sometimes three armed officers that, when in their office, are monitoring surveillance cameras.) Both sets of doors are heavy metal solid doors, the second ones entered have a grated periphery such that campus security can evaluate and allow or deny access.

The school has multiple exits obviously for fire code, all are heavy metal and all normally set for self lock as the door swings back shut (self closing).

Uvalde school district obviously has incredible legal exposure due to security breeches. The city also has legal exposure due to the lack of conveying timely lock down directives with an active shooter on the loose. What was a literal and heartbreaking bloodbath will be a financial bloodbath for the city and state municipalities I predict. Every parent with a child in that school stands to benefit in the financial department, which for me is some small consolation as many in that community are struggling financially.

It looks like we're stuck with him for at least one more season.
I always thought he was more interested in San Antonio… the Lakers job isn’t a good one with the current cast. Lebron great but when it fails he ain’t taking the blame.

If you live in any other country (at least any the US would even remotely like to compare itself to), this is crazy talk. No one else protects their schools like this. There is a pretty simple fix, but it doesn't seem to be on the table for the religious extremists that comprise about half of the US congress.
 
Nothing is perfect, but protect the schools best you can. Taking away all guns is impossible.

This isn't hard. It's has zero to do with protecting schools.
 
Bigger question is will Russ listen to him
Russ ain’t listening to no one man… Russ’ mama could coach and he’d be doing what he wants. If they go into the season with Russ they will be a play in team again.
