I have sent letters to the editor as a Security Expert on this topic.  The
only way to stop a molester/shooter in a school is to have an on-site armed
response.  The LEO attemtps at de-escalation are futile.  We need to kill
these perps immediately.  I point out that if this is not the right answer,
why do all the politicians have an armed presence to protect them?  Strip
every politician and government building of armed guards and place them in
the schools.  Politicians are expendable - our kids are not.  Heck, the
Federal Reserve has better protection than our children.

I have 25 years of experience in security, defense, and telecommunications
security, and am a former AF officer.  I am certified as a CISSP, of which
there are 25K in the world.  I am also an ISSAP, of which there are *300* in
the world.  Yes, physical security is part of our world.  If armed folks
with guns are not the answer, then why does the Secret Service have them
around the President? Why are all the state capitols swarning with LEO?  Why
do all the Federal buildings have armed guards?

BTW, no media outlet, except for KVOR in Colorado Springs, has run my
letters or opinion.

That's because they can't rebutt me.  I've copied the President and
Education Secretary, but figure that's futile.
