The safest places in the world are protected with armed guards.

The majority of mass shootings happen in "gun free" zones.

If you want to stop the crimes, you put people in place to prevent the crimes from happening.

The left doesn't care about stopping crime, they just want to disarm you.

Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens, since surpassing car accidents in 2020.

In no other comparable country are firearms within the top four causes of mortality among children, according to a KFF analysis.

You sound like you are helping prove my point. Children need to be protected. So it makes no sense to prevent the placement of police outside of schools.

The unfortunate truth is that you likely don't see it that way and will instead try to coerce people to give up their guns.

That just sounds like welfare for useless cops.

We would be seeing cops beat and harass children within weeks of something like that being implemented.

@Unhappily_Coerced I'm reminded of Uvalde, when the cops sat around while the shooter murdered children. If you want to keep people safe from gun violence, gun regulation is the obvious solution, one you clearly don't want to entertain despite bipartisan support for many forms of regulation.

Evidence shows police in schools do not make students safer, and they disproportionately harass, punish and incarcerate black, Latino, and disabled students.

I suspect you're not the type that cares about evidence as much as ideology given what you've posted. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
