[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only issue I have with metal detectors is the amount of things students are ALLOWED to have that will set them off.  It will take like 45-60 minutes to screen kids one by one to enter the building like a TSA process[/quote]

At JR HS (NW DC) it takes ~ an hour to get students in in the morning[/quote]

I’m not sure the lives saved through metal detectors would exceed the lives lost through depriving HS kids of an hour of sleep.  There’s a lot of evidence showing that decreased sleep for HS kids leads to adverse health outcomes including car accidents.

Additional security officers and SROs seems like a no brainer to me and has th added benefit of allowing them to reopen bathroom.

They also need a better solution for kids that have criminal cases and violent histories.  Like maybe virtual school.

Stop it with the SRO's all they do is bring more drugs to schools, prey on young girls and are worthless wanna be cops. Nothing statistacally proven they help.

Better off with metal detectors.

There is no way they would have stopped this or any other gun issue.

We need gun reform in this country unless that happens nothing will change.

While I support common sense gun safety laws, Maryland already has a lot of those. And last night, a teen at the Silver Spring Metro stabbed three other teenagers. In Europe, running over people with cars has become a substitute for shooting people. Ultimately, this is a people problem, not a gun problem. [/quote]
It’s an easy access to guns problem. [/quote]

“Easy” access to firearms is an unfounded slogan. Lawful access to firearms, especially in Maryland, is anything but “easy.”  Criminal access to contraband is — well — already criminal. [/quote]

Clearly a child had easy access to a gun.[/quote]

You don't know how easy it was.
