I'm baffled how anyone can say this. I bet you don't want SROs either. So no SROs, no metal detectors- just common-sense gun laws will do?
Can we take out the metal detectors at government buildings and airports then if all we need are common-sense gun laws?  [/quote]

First let's talk about whether metal detectors IN SCHOOLS are effective at preventing or deterring violence. Which they are not. They're not effective, and they're not cost-effective.[/quote]

You keep saying this, and yet the schools that have suffered from gun violence, like Richneck, immediately turn to them after they've suffered an attack.

I think it's fair to say it's debatable HOW effective weapons detection systems are, and there might be some evidence that sways in that direction, but nothing is conclusive in the way you keep portraying it.

Furthermore, WHAT IS YOUR VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO WEAPONS DETECTORS since you keep dismissing them?[/quote]
