Metal detectors seems like a somewhat workable prevention option.
I agree. Metal detectors now.
Bingo. Gun confiscation is not gonna happen. Bringing back the insane asylums and going back to easier commitment grounds is not gonna happen. We live in a time of broken families, boys and girls growing up without fathers and violence glorified in movies and games. That won't change soon.
The "common sense" solution at least for the short term is security. Metal detectors, armed security and limited access points. It's already in many inner-city schools. It needs to happen in all schools.
Years ago when we had a couple of shootings in courtrooms out here the Chief Justice did not respond by calling for "common sense gun laws." The Judiciary responded by installing security. And we've had no more courthouse shootings since.
We’ve had them in our “special” schools for years....along with armed guards. Guess the school demographics.
Metal detectors and armed guards. Simple. Sad that it’s necessary, but when society sticks its middle finger up at God, there will be consequences. Kick God out, evil moves in.
I agree.
