Can someone seriously please answer this idea I had immediately after the Sandy Hook shooting.....

Why is no one proposing just putting in Metal Detectors at the school entrances...??

Some schools already have metal detectors.

How would a metal detector at Sandy Hook have stopped that guy, unless there were also armored doors, adequate to stop a determined assault for long enough to allow armed deterrent to arrive, that only allowed one person through at a time?

Because It’s not about the children it’s about Gun control!
The Government has spent Sixty billion dollars since 9/11 on just the TSA alone patting down little old ladies and making more of a effort to NOT profile people than really do their jobs.Then they tell us that it would cost too much to put armed guards at the schools. Lying Socialist Pigs!

Sorry Pigs.

The kid who did the murders shot out a window and came in that way, IIRC. A metal detector wouldn't have helped in that case.

Also, as I've pointed out before on this forum - remember what happened after Arnold said "I'll be back" in the first Terminator movie. Metal detectors and locked doors won't help against a car.
