NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD TRAIN ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES!

Rather than arming teachers or waiting for sedentary school resource officers to awaken and react promptly Americas schools could deploy specially trained Guard units to patrol and train in local school buildings to aggressively engage active shooters while leading occupants to safe locations.  Teens seeing military personnel regularly on campuses would think twice before bringing or using firearms in their schools! Mass shootings and gang warfare are no less serious than urban riots where The Guard serves ruitinely to protect lives and restore civil order.

SCHOOL SHOOTERS - NEW MISSION FOR NATIONAL GUARD!

Instead of adding guns to schools or relying on enept SROs let's create new National Guard school defense units wherever there are large public schools and community colleges. Guard units train more monthly or weekly for actual combat situations and would be better prepared than many local police officers to confront and engage active shooters as well as manage crowds in an emergency.  Having Guard units patrol schools would also convince teens of the seriousness of order and security!  These School Defense units would continue to be deployed as long as lax gun laws, copy cat shootings and easy access to firearms continue to be wide spread in U.S. communities.
