A 13 year old girl is not able to make a credible generalized terrorist threat against a large swath of the population, and besides, the first thing you should do when a kid starts making dumb statements like that is check in with them and their parents, not to call the police. Automatic reporting laws that lead to 13 year old girls being strip-searched are not something anybody should want.

There is an easy way to stop 99.9% of all school shootings, and it isn't 'automatic reporting laws'.

Nor automatic weapons for all the teachers.

I find proximity to weapons a fairly good indicator of whether or not you're at risk of being shot. If teachers were armed that would be the last time my kids went to school.

Don't worry, the people who want these Orwellian things will find a more "marketable" way of describing it.
