And that\u2019s the reason that you\u2019ve got to have different layers, you can\u2019t rely upon just one technique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchool Safety is something that we all have to focus on coming out of the incredible tragedy that we see in Uvalde, we have to look at how we can better secure our schools. And it is about the single point of entry that by blocking it open allowed the gunman to come in, it is about the mental health issues where we\u2019ve got to do better to identify those that are potentially a mass killer,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to have our private sector, internet providers to do better in using technology to identify these kinds of dangerous violent communications much quicker. And then of course, we have to be able to train our officers properly. I know we\u2019re gonna have to learn a lot more facts as to some of the things that happened in Uvalde. Let\u2019s be patient, let\u2019s learn from them. But we can\u2019t give up on our most precious resource in protecting our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hutchinson then refuted the idea that the AR-15 should be controlled to prevent future shootings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAR-15s were around for 40 years before they were ever used in any type of mass killing or attack,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd so it is about the human heart, it is about identifying the culprits and going after them. And I think it is a discussion you can have. I come down on the point that that\u2019s not going to be the solution. And it\u2019s going to cause more harm than good \u2026 I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a solution. And we shouldn\u2019t focus on that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R) said Sunday that the mass shooting in Uvalde was not about the AR-15 rifle, but about the need for better security in schools and the need to better address the mental health crisis in the country.
