if this isnt the fastest way to get your child killed....
ChadTower:
Yeah, stop them in the parents and the kids will be less likely to have access to them or want them.
Stop the music industry from telling them it's cool to get high and shoot people in the street.
The problems are societal, they cannot be fixed at the school level.

Dude its simple enugh, kids are freaked out by this crap. If you had a gun and someone knew about it you would most likley be told on. It seems like a lot of these instences the kids show up to school with these guns and start shooting. In high school if I knew you were brining a gun to class, I would have ratted on you. But I'd prefer to do it anonomously. offering kids pizza, better parking, and money isn't going to change it at all. it will stay the way it always was.
unless maybe they start offering nachos too.
ChadTower:
Not sure where you went to school, but in my HS, there were kids who had guns in school from time to time. People knew who they were. They were not to be messed with. You stayed clear of them because sure, they can have THAT gun taken from them... but it's so easy for them to get another and find you.
The safest way for the individual to protect themselves is to simply mind their business. There are a LOT more kids with guns in schools than there are kids who would shoot the school up... but if those kids get ratted out, they're going to find anyone they suspect of doing it off hours.

you know alot of times the kids carrying the guns arent the bad ones, they are merely trying to protect themselves from the ones who are bad.
when i went to junior high (15 or so years ago) i had to carry a 9" blade in my boot. i was one of 7 white kids in my school and i got the everliving <auto-censored> beat of me at least once a week for it until i did carry that knife.. Racism is just another word for majority rule.
I would have killed anyone on the drop of a hat,and not felt even the slightest inkling of guilt if even one more person touched me without reservation. all i wanted to do was go to school and do my thing and be left alone.. i had had enough, and not one more person was gonna lay a hand on me..
i wasnt the trouble, the kids going around in groups kicking the ever living <auto-censored> outta people like me for their amusment were the ones who were the trouble. and if no one else would/could do anythign about it, i was going to..one way or the other..
many of th elawmakes ca never understnad the pressures these kids go through just going to school everyday, its LITERLALLY A LIFE AND DEATH endeavour..
