So basically this is an after-the-fact kind of thing where people are already dead?

:stopitslime:

I was hoping for some Minority Report shyt.

For the amount of money they're wasting on these, you could probably hire a fukking therapist and treat mental illness.

A school in Methuen, Massachusetts has demonstrated the first installation of an automated detection system for active gunmen. Sensors placed throughout the building are activated by the sounds of gunfire. The sensors relay data on the shooter's real-time location directly to police, who can then track and subdue their target. The system was developed for the military to detect the location of enemy fire. It will cost school districts between $20,000 and $100,000 to equip each school with the gunfire-detecting sensors. Methuen's police chief said, "It's amazing, the short, split-second amount of time from identification of the shot to transmission of the message. It changes the whole game. Without that shot detection system, we wouldn't know what was going on in the school ... Valuable, valuable time can be lost. Unfortunately, with school crisis situations, it's about mitigating loss."
:comeon:
Well, it will allow for a faster response by the police. But some kids and teachers are going to get murked. Think about it. Unless the cop is at the school, he's going to have to drive to the school from wherever he is and then get to the shooter. And realistically, he won't be in the same place where he made his first shot. Think about the Columbine school situation. There was a very slow response. Because of that, police have been trained to respond differently. I won't say how, but it's different than before Columbine. If they have a fast response, those two guys still would have shot most of the victims anyway.

crazy people? how do you "deal with" that?


You're serious? MAYBE by not making guns readily available to said "crazy" people. Or MAYBE by having a vaild health system that can take care of those "crazy" people before they decide to shoot up the place.

You mean the mightiest country in the world can fight wars a half-globe away but can't keep its schools safe :what:

A congresswoman was shot in the head, kids were shot and the gun laws haven't changed. IMO that right there tells you we are about as far as we can go democratically.

At this point approaching the issue from a gun control standpoint is waste of time. Guns are not being turned in, and will only become easier to get as 3d printer technology advances.

We need to explore other options...:manny:

:shaq2: Again, it isn't happening democratically in America.
Is that all you got in terms of a solution?

The idea that there can be anything done to prevent things like this with gun control...

:dwillhuh:

What is there to be done? There are more guns than people. At this point, you can get a gun no matter what laws you put on the books.

A couple hundred people have died in school shootings.

:manny:

Let's spend upwards of a hundred grand per school for a reactive system that will be wrought with false alarms and will probably end up with an "accidental" police shooting of a young black man that was thought to be reaching for a weapon though.

:mjpls:

Big business and the nanny state win again.

they use them in the city and supposedly they're effective it can figure out the type of gun and remember it which results in connecting crime patterns and result in increased enforcement and patrols in neighborhoods, not seeing the purpose at a school.

Don't feed the poor kids free lunches but want to install a system that is a rip-off, brehs.

My High School stayed having the Po-Po in it to even have a school shooting. Locker searches every month, at least 3 or 4 po-po stayed in my school all day long. Yet these so called schools have to wait to the police show-up? :mjlol:
