Well, think about it. I'll bet we spend
millions protecting just
one school from fire, special fire doors, flame-retardant materials, concrete walls and floors, alarms on every floor wired to the fire department, sprinkler systems, smoke and flame detectors, etc., etc.
At the
least, can we not secure our school buildings? Ballastic glass on the front entrance...a part-time cop to man the entrance at the beginning of the school day and run the students through metal detectors...(they already do this in many inner-city schools in Chicago and other large cities)...alarms wired directly to cop stations when doors are breached or an attempt is made...wired alarms in every classroom...secure steel doors at every classroom entrance with ballastic glass -- to be locked when class is in session...I could think of many more fixes that would
slow down the likes of our Connecticut embecile that would allow for prepared emergency response from LEOs -- and that wouldn't even REQUIRE one person armed in the school.
I'd actually be more for those fixes than having an armed person in the school whose job was to be utterly bored 99.999999999999% of the time and be expected to be a Ninja in a heartbeat.
