Of course it is. I encountered unmanned technology in the 1980’s that prevented entry into banks if a person had metal on their person. [/quote]

Banks are small and have one entrance with windows. Schools have many entrances where staff or students are constantly using. My school has 10 different entrances. They aren’t all used at the same time but they are all used throughout the day.[/quote]

This means nothing. Lots of secure buildings have multiple openings but that does not mean they are not secured. My point is that what is lacking is willingness, not technology. [/quote]

You just aren't going to be able to install metal detectors at EVERY single entrance in a school that houses HS.  You can however secure all entrances by other means however.  The problem however is I agree with everyone else - no way you can 100% ensure safety of everyone in a school as there's always a way for someone to have a gun - where there's a will there's a way.  That being said, it's a good deterrent nevertheless.  It's always better to make something harder than easy in these situations, logically.

I don't know if this is the answer - violence is the root issue.  There's a lot of anger, hatred, hurt in our kids.  Sure, you prevent mass shootings but on some level, there's kids out there ready to hurt other kids, people.  That's a cultural problem not a gun problem.  I don't think guns being easy access are helping but essentially, on the current scale, it's definitely not isolated incidents.  Mental health, support for families in society, better school security - these are all legit concerns contributing to school shootings today.[/quote]
