We\u2019re safe in a stadium, but we let our kids go to school and they\u2019re not safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pollack has also advocated for multiple layers of security to protect schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a process,\u201d he has also said. \u201cIt can\u2019t just be one step, you know? There\u2019s layers of security. So you have to start with the security of \u2026 entry points. You\u2019ve gotta have limited entry points. You need metal detectors, and you need armed guards. It\u2019s really three layers of security to protect our kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In February 2021, Pollack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theconstitutionalconservatives.com\/editorials\/parkland-dad-condemns-biden-gun-control-plans-blood-is-on-biden-s\">slammed<\/a>\u00a0President Biden for using the third anniversary of the Parkland shooting to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-to-congress-enact-major-restrictions-on-constitutionally-protected-second-amendment-rights\">push his gun control plan<\/a>.

Every one of those [gun control measures] that he wants to put in place wouldn\u2019t have made a difference in my daughter getting murdered in Parkland. They\u2019re not capable of looking at solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I did, I took a step back when the media \u2014 mainstream media \u2014 was attacking our Second Amendment,\u201d he continued. \u201cI took a step back, and I looked into the failures in Parkland, and I dissected them one by one, Grant, \u2019cause I wanted to make a difference, I wanted to help law enforcement with their response to a mass shooting, and that\u2019s what I did.
