what about the windows?
it is not much a culture shock to me. I'm acquainted with guns growing up considering got family involved in law enforcement and the military. also, growing up in a neighborhood where robberies and theft are prevalent and also being a victim of such. I don't hate guns in general but I hate the way it is being mishandled and freely circulating without restriction and brandished like trophies. I believe that a select few should only own and use them. I personally can attest than owning one is extremely dangerous and should be treated with the highest discipline and strong and collected mindset. I'm against that minors should have one and also against that an adult can readily get one even with proper training. considering what is happening around the U.S., it is really needed to be monitored and restricted. it is not a toy nor should be a hobby. it is a weapon that can be used to inflict maximum damage and deaths in a short span. arming every person is not a solution and is pretty much opening up a can of worms.
installing metal detectors is one thing, but who is going to stand guard and deal with a terrorist? a good guy with a gun? man the recent incident have those good guys do nothing nor the good civilians with the guns did nothing but go on with their daily lives. and you are asking more guns to be in the hands of what? teachers? kids?
it would be difficult to find a solution as of the moment as the GOP are in cahoots with the gun problem and the solutions they are recommending are as stupid as it gets. serial murderers are not that stupid or a mindless psychopath that won't be able to find an entry point. it would only work for a small percentage if the perpetrator was doing it in random or extremely stupid not to think. but with a perpetrator with a clear intention of killing people or with a plan, there is no safeguard for it.
it is paranoia but most, expecially in Texas it is only to look cool or threaten somebody. my son's friend in L.A. have experienced a home invasion about a month back. the dad confronted the would-be-thief or robber without further escalation and just reported it to the police. I can understand the sentiment of owning guns for safety but how much more or how heavy do you really need to protect yourself? some people think that they are going to war that they need to carry an AR15 for protection.
I would love to see how they would enforce this. Our front office staff would riot if they had to check in all the students that came in late. Not to mention, our campus is open. Anybody can just walk on from any direction, it freaks me out everyday.
Oddly enough, I’m elementary and middle school I had to go thru metal detectors and place backpack on table to be searched. High school got sent across 8 mile to the suburbs and boom no metal detectors or security at door. Searched the 7 year olds in the hood but the 17 year old in the burbs, don’t oppress his rights.
