Right on, Eugene Beasley! Arming teachers may be good for gun manufacturers, but here's another idea.
Invisible dog fences work with just a wire in the ground around a property. Let's put such a "fence" around our schools that will set off an alarm if a heavy metal object like a gun is near.
It could also lock down the building, and just knowing the fence is there would be a deterrent.
If we can put a space probe on Mars, surely we can figure out a way to do this.
It would be so much less expensive than an armed guard in every school! In the day of one-room schools that might work, but how could one person protect all the classrooms and hallways there are in today's schools?
There has to be a better way to protect our kids.
