They have one. He just happened to not be on site.

That's because it's not an SRO but a CEO.  A CEO does not stay inside the school nor walk the halls unless invited by the Principal. A CEO is shared with the cluster.

Bring back SROs.[/quote]

No, we don't need police in schools and they don't really stop shit like this from happening, anyway. See Uvalde or Parkland, for example. [/quote]

Yes, we do.  A good officer could shoot the shooter.  There are plenty of situations where they do step in and resolve it.  The two you are choosing are the worst but there are many times SRO's save lives.  Some schools have an officer sitting outside a lot of time.  Ours do.[/quote]

All schools needs metal detectors. The school is huge. An officer cant cover the whole school. They would not have prevented a one off shooting targeting a specific individual. A police officer may be able to reduce the amount of people killed in a mass shooting but most times, they won’t be able to stop a shooting from happening in the first place.[/quote]

The WUSA story said that the student had a ghost gun.  Not an expert  here, but wouldn't a metal detector be useless in that instance? (obviously it would prevent other firearms from getting through....just saying that I don't know if it would have made a difference here).

I personally think that re-instating the SRO program and focusing on prevention is the most critical need here.  [/quote]

Ammo casings likely would set off the alarm but yeah[/quote]

The outside of the gun is all polymer but the inside is still metal. Otherwise it would fall apart [/quote]

Please, if you don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t embarrass yourself.

“The outside of the gun is all polymer.@. This is not true. Typically the frame is polymer and other parts including the slide assembly are metal.

“The inside is still metal.”  Not necessarily.

“Otherwise it would fall apart.”  It isn’t the material that holds the firearm together.

“Ammo casings.”  Pointless. As noted upthread there is plenty of metal even in an unloaded polymer framed firearm to set off a metal detector.  The “ghost” moniker refers to putative traceability, not detectability. [/quote]
