With everyone, screaming that this must have been a false flag, by the liberals, to push through their own agendas, I considered another possibility....
What are more than 100,000 metal detectors worth? What is a contract, fulfilling the requirements of training and arming over 200,000 to 300,000 new officers, to be placed in schools across this Nation, valued at? Maybe the Dems, were simply reacting as expected? Perhaps something this sinister came from someone or a group of someones, who had much more to gain from it, than some more legislation under their belt?
Does the Military Industrial Complex own any manufacturers of metal detectors? Or, how about a large private security company, or two? How will we get that "private army" everyone keeps talking about, onto US soil, enmass, under our radar?
What say you?

You haven't read a single thing on this topic have you? The SCOTUS ruled that the government did not GIVE us the right to keep and bear arms. The SCOTUS ruled that the right already existed prior to the construction of the constitution and the bill of rights. The Second Amendment was a commitment to PROTECT a pre-existing right. No document GIVES us the right. It is considered inherited and inherent.
The current government structure has to be reassembled to take it away. In other words, no law can take this pre-existing right away. Only a "redo" of the bill of rights.
And luckily, you being okay with "giving away my right" doesn't mean spit in this issue, not unless you've got the pull to completely abolish the current U.S. government and the restrictions it abides by. (By the way, attempting to do so is a treasonous act.) I'm okay with giving away your right to free speech, how do you feel about that? How about I just willy-nilly announce all the rights you have that I'm okay with taking away from you because I've personally decided you're incompetent to have them? That okay with you?

The state that I live in regards driving as a privilege. We have to purchase a driver's license to use the privilege.
My state regards freedom of speech as a right. They don't make us buy a license for that. If they did try, I think it would be shot down by the courts. At least I hope it would.
Do you have a birth certificate? A social security number? Think about it.

Banning anything is a fail. It will never succeed.
If you want to affect gun deaths, address the pathetic mental health treatment investment the people of the United States make annually.
I would love to talk about this more...but i am pretty busy at work tonight. Shouldn't even be here now, TBH. So we can chat later. Tater.

I really don't miss the point. But if it's okay with you, I'm not going willingly into the surrendered world you live in. You go ahead and give up and believe what you believe. I choose another path.
