When you figure it out, enlighten us on how to prevent school shootings. Over 20k gun laws on the books and not one helped. This is one of the only options and since school districts received over $100bil in Chinavirus relief, money isn’t the issue. Schools are our most vulnerable targets because they’re soft targets.
Theaters are also soft targets. As are nursing homes, concerts, nightclubs, and many other places where people congregate. (See, e.g., the Pulse nightclub shooting, the Las Vegas shooting, the Paris concert shooting, etc.)
So why does this keep happening at schools? Because, as I mentioned previously, schools are prisonlike and breed despair, nihilism, and hatred. Making schools
more prisonlike by enhancing obvious security measures isn't going to solve the problem. It'll probably make it worse.
"Let's have every small town triple its number of cops" is sheer lunacy.
Gun control isn't the answer, either, for obvious reasons.
There might be a technical solution. A ring of sensors around the school, hooked up to a 24/7 AI that does facial recognition and can identify objects like long guns, which itself is linked to a drone swarm that can be activated at a moment's notice. The swarm does not know fear, would not cower at the sound of gunshots, and could be armed with lethal/non-lethal compliance measures. This solution might be
invisible when not in use, and it would
only respond to live threats -- it wouldn't give you fucking speeding tickets.
The tech is probably not ready yet, though. The sensors and AI components are solved problems, but nobody has figured out how to weaponize drone swarms. Well, plenty of incentive right now, I suppose.
