The most askeered I ever was in the NAM was when we had a red alert and they handed out ammo clips to my ASA unit. At least Charlie knew one end of a weapon from the other.
In many places if folks advertise that they have lots of weapon in their homes, it will be targeted by burglars.
Fight, which leaves this question:
My answer is: it's going to be a lot easier if the 2nd amendment prohibits them from disarming The People. How would you answer your own question?
I'm not sure that post was addressed to me, but my answer is that the Bill of Rights applies to new technology as it comes along. The first amendment covers electronic communications and the fourth amendment covers using tech for surveillance. Similarly, the second amendment should apply to modern guns, not just muskets.
Because Olsonist won't explain what he meant and you seem to have thoughts on the liability of gun and car owners for the actions of criminals.
Tell us something we don’t know about you.
Sir, you wrote this:
Excellent. It’s not like school districts have never heard of school shootings. My guess is they held regular drills. That’s not enough.
Yep…that’s why he did the shootings while the hallways were full of students. Easy targets.
Our Elementary and Middle schools already have funnel points, adding detectors would be trivial. The HS is a totally different issue as it's an open campus, but there are still natural funnel points.
No, metal detectors would have beeped but it's up to teachers and administrators to catch someone. When I started doing morning screening (one week a semester), we were trying to do around 3000 metal scans, bag searches and coat patdowns in about 10 minutes due to contractual obligations. There was no training nor even written directions for how were to execute these. Administrators had the hand wands for when the metal detectors beeped but generally just waved the wand in the direction of the belt buckle and passed the kid. One of our resource officers showed me an LAPD video of an exercise where a kid was run through scanning procedure then taken into a room where he unloaded 52 firearms from under his clothing including a sawed off pump shotgun and two MAC-10's along with various other increasingly smaller handguns. Combined with 16 doors to the outside that both teachers and students shimmed open and used throughout the day, it was not practically possible to "lockdown' the building. And this was a building that had two shootings (both before my time). Technology will not save the situation only people will and we're breaking those very people. The actions of Admin (local control!) after the teachers brought the matter up speaks volumes as it's the normal reaction. I had two weapons threats serious enough that I felt they needed reporting and in both cases took them to the school cop, which resulted in action. Since there's no manual for this, a new teacher would have gone to their administrator who has a lot of reasons for lowballing the incident.
