"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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
