"Some students and staff members told board members that more focus should be placed on things like working metal detectors and cameras rather than guns."
I hope the response was to pat them on the head with a "Thanks, dear. Now run along, and look both ways."
Because that view is juvenile. A shooter would just begin his assault by killing the screeners before proceeding inside.
IOW, screening would do NOTHING to stop a determined and suicidal shooter from doing his nefarious deed.
As a measure of this view's feasibility, overlay it on every single school shooting in history. Screening would have stopped none of them. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
