We’ve proved it’s possible to confiscate a bottle of water from a 75yo woman trying to sneak into Bobby Dodd. You’d think it we could hire these same eagle eyes to take the semi-automatic weapons from the nutzo kids or criminals trying to get inside our schools. Hey even a better thought. Hire them during the week to patrol our streets and take the guns away from the illegals and criminals.
I think mass shootings has nothing to do with economics. Gun violence in general, absolutely. Mass shootings are generally accomplished by someone who becomes mentally unstable. There is nothing sane about rapidly firing a weapon into a large crowd or systematically shooting people as one passes through a facility. I think mass shooting perpetrators generally have an agenda and are targeting a specific sector of the population. School shootings are typically accomplished by peer-aged kids who have exhibited anti-social behavior or were forced to the fringes of the the social strata within the system.
I think you can tackle both at the same time. This isn't a city or a state issue. Its a gun issue.
So you have convinced yourself that the rent a cop at the local school can be on the other side of the campus, hear gunshots through fire alarms and screaming, make his way through the chaos, take down the shooter who has a much more powerful weapon than he does and probably more experience shooting it, in a very short period of time and prevent any casualties? Ok then. I didn't realize every one of those guys are Jack Bauer on steroids.
