On a long enough timeline, without any changes, this garbage is going to get a kid murdered by overzealous LEOs (or teachers in places where they want the carrying.)

- gosub100 10mo agoOr the next shooter will disguise their gun to look like a musical instrument. Edit: I can't find it now but there is a body cam video of a Colorado school shooting where this almost happened. It wasn't due to an AI mixup but the school police was armed and I believe fired at one of the bad guys, but as the local PD responded he almost got shot because of the confusion: "school shooting, respond, guy with a gun"
- bluGill 10mo agoThat has been a common trope in gangster movies for ages. A violin case can easially hide a gun (depending on the gun of course, but you get to select this). You can find craftsmen in your gang who can make a violin case that also has a gun so it can even be opened an inspected by someone who doesn't know how to find the secret gun compartment, and it isn't hard to teach someone to play some simple songs on a violin thus giving a reason to carry a violin (you don't need to be good, just be able to show you have another lesson next week). I don't know if this works as well in the real world as movies, but it is plausible.

- lingrush4 10mo agoWhat's your point? If the technology is even somewhat capable of detecting actual guns, it will probably save far more lives in the long run.
- Zigurd 10mo agoCops killed a lot of people with negligible effect on crime. You're making an assertion that needs some support in light of the track record of US policing.
- mikeyouse 10mo agoThe obvious outcome of increased security and scanning to get into schools is what happened at Annunciation where the shooter just shot from outside the security area since all of those people still gather and walk past unsecured areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciation_Catholic_Church_shooting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciation_Catholic_Church_s...
- expedition32 10mo agoI thought it was legal in America to bear arms? Is the constitution magically suspended in schools?
- drysart 10mo agoIn many ways, yes. With guns specifically, the Supreme Court (in opinions authored by Justices Alito and Kavanaugh, believe it or not) has set a precedent that there are some government-controlled "sensitive places" within which it is reasonable and prudent to place restrictions on firearms. Legislative assemblies, courthouses, government buildings, etc. So not even the most conservative justices buy into the idea that Americans have a right to bear arms everywhere.

- beAbU 10mo agoI thought it's well established that LEO's dont enter schools where there is a suspected shooting? So a clarinet toting suspected gunman should he just fine. /s
