The shortest distance between two points of travel. The fastest method for achieving a result. Quickest answer for a resolution. Marrying equals.   All terminology meaning essentially the same thing; synthesis. That is what the two-party system is meant to be doing. It is the point of checks and balances. A check is a stopgap. A balance is a measure.   No one wants to ban personal firearms. No one wants mentally-ill people to own them. No one advocates violence by school teachers to assuage future potential violence. No reasonable person wants children to grow up in a police state school system. No American believes that State and Federal government can agree on what should be done in all states.   We will not be arming teachers. Nor will we be banning guns. There will never be armed guards at public schools. States and the Federal government disagree on so many levels there will never be consensus on change when it comes to this issue. So, change the issue in a way that offers a stopgap as a measure.   The President of The United States issues a proclamation that all land directly adjacent to the front of all public schools will be bought by the federal government at today's market price. That price will be fixed provided the states do two things. Use state eminent domain laws(every state already has them) to file a claim on said properties and assess the value thereof for the federal government.   Secondly, establish police precincts on said property.     Ask yourself; "How many children would die if the local police were directly across the street from the school at the time of the shooting?" And, "Would Conservatives or Liberals be against this proposal?"    Also, We should all remember that these shooters plan their attacks and would have to plan around the police being there immediately after they begin one.   Problem solved...                              ...and no one touched a gun(right) to do it.

the code red alarm rings echoing in the halls we drop to the floor almost in unison is this the end? the teacher the one who we trust to protect us is just another sheep in this herd of fear nobody is safe nor are we above anyone else we are equal we are shaking as we hug the ground waiting waiting to be slain waiting to be saved but still waiting i am lucky to say it was only a drill but for those across the country they weren't that lucky they were shot at they were killed they watched their loved ones die we live in a country where guns matter more than our kids where an AR-15 can be purchased by anyone but when tragedy strikes people act shocked they send their prayers their thoughts **** that. prayers and thoughts don't do anything they don't bring back those we have lost they don't take the grief away from us things won't change until we start a riot until we can really make a change we are the home of mass shootings we need to change that
