The way to keep our children safe is clear – shoring up our school security and getting better at spotting disturbed kids. Anything else is wasting time. A roundup of editorials Tuesday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the Right:
When hurting kids and parents have bad ideas: Addressing post-shooting activism
From Townhall: Make schools secure, and learn how to spot kids who are disturbed. Don't let raw emotion drive the discussion to other things.


We can't have a debate about guns If liberals keep lying about them
From The Federalist: A conversation about gun violence won't happen until gun-control advocates stop throwing out misleading statistics.


After the Florida shootings, here's a practical proposal to protect our children
From Newt Gingrich: We need to have trained teachers and administrators to complement uniformed police officers in our schools.

The left has a solution for mass shootings - don't sell the weapons the shooters use.

(in wheelchair), and fellow senators (left to right) Bob Kerrey, D-Neb.; John McCain, R-Ariz.; Charles Hagel, R-Neb.; John Kerry, D-Mass.; and Chuck Robb, D-Va. walk along the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall behind the wreath they would lay to commemorate the 15th anniversary of groundbreaking for the memorial. All six senators served in Vietnam, and Cleland lost both legs and an arm in that war. (Rick McKay/Washington Bureau)
