"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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
