I missed (thankfully) the days of duck and cover nuclear weapons drills that would be pointless.

However in my mind, this is a different animal.

This is not about two feuding countries that could possibly go to war, this is about a lone nut job with a gun.

I don't have the answers. I just know that it MUST be discussed and that things must change.

The answer is not more drills or armed guards at metal detectors in our schools.

However, we must find an answer to this comprehensive and more common problem.

Drills are not that answer imo.
