In a state shaken by tragic shootings, Colorado lawmakers advanced a measure to allow victims and relatives of school violence to sue the state for financial damages in what critics called a dramatic shift in policy.

The state Senate gave preliminary approval to the bill Tuesday after naming it in honor of Claire Davis, the 17-year-old senior shot and killed by a classmate at Arapahoe High School in 2013 (http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_27130513/ceremony-will-mark-year-since-colorado-high-school?source=pkg).

Senate President Bill Cadman, the lead sponsor, made the legislation one his top priorities (http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_27276449/colorado-senate-president-vows-find-ways-keep-students) and fought attempts to soften the measure.

"What is our goal with this bill? Moving our schools in the direction that provides increased safety for our kids with increased peace of mind for parents," the Colorado Springs Republican said.

I would imagine that in order to win, someone would have to prove negligence. That may not be easy to do in these sorts of cases.

The states should be sued. They are the ones who demand that your children be there. Then put a "gun free zone" sign out front that serves as a target on the students backs and then fails to provide protection and security against known dangers.

This may be a back door method to inspire schools to get adequate security on site that is capable of dealing with threats before police arrive.

Because of the state can be sued, they will get sick of that eventually and use their resources to put pressure on Tue schools.
