Here's An Idea. Have "Use For Emergency Only" Stations Like Fire Extinguishers.

Have guns mounted on strategic walls wth access only to teacher. Break glass and get out the gun.

1. Ah, using the magic opening device which detects who is getting the gun!

2. Better idea

Treat guns like cars.

Make people who own guns carry an insurance policy w/ a minimum liability clause.

Obviously people who statistically are likely to violate it, will either not get it or be able to only get it at a very high cost.

You want your corvette or ar-15, then at the age of 19, you're going to have to pay a small fortune which people like Nikolaus Cruz would never be able to afford. Thus he would never have gotten the gun.

3. The insurance idea keeps getting repeated

But it's a non-starter.

Here's the thing. You can buy that insurance now. The NRA sells it. The NRA would ---LOVE--- it for to be mandatory. Their revenue would expand 10 times over night.

Furthermore, auto insurance is to buy a new car. We cant buy new lives.

Finally, no insurance covers intention acts. It's not that insurers CAN'T cover intentional acts. it's just a business that would be impossible to profit in, so ---NO--- insurer in history has ever offered it.

I suppose you could write a law that the forces the government to issue intentional murder insurance. But it would be so expensive as to not be affordable, and the SC would rule it unconstitutional as an end-run gun ban (they've already ruled on that in the past)

12. Better idea. Treat guns like methamphetamines.

You have to obtain a hard-to-get prescription for each gun, and you have to demonstrate why you need that gun.

"Deer hunting with family" might be a good reason, "self defense" would raise red flags.

4. Actually fingerprint activated safes mounted inside desk drawers

In a way where the drawer can’t be removed and where any tampering sets off an alarm.

Fingerprint activated safes are on the market now and very secure.

5. How do insure that only authorized people access the guns?

Anyone can discharge a fire extinguisher. It is that way because they are not dangerous unless thrown at people.

A gun is dangerous, having one behind glass makes it easy for anyone.

6. So what happens if a teacher goes nuts?

7. keep a gun-nut in the pull-station, he'll jump out, ready for action!

8. Just Sharing An Idea Some Dumb GOPPER Would Come Up With.

[genxlib]

9. It would be cheaper

To just have thoughts and prayers in the emergency cabinet.

11. I have an idea. How about we ban semi-automatic weapons
