The system, which authorities say was put in place about a week ago, prevented a "much larger tragedy,” Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said.
For the US, I think it would be so slow at catching up to more developed standards of gun control that it would be generational and not a matter of years. It’s not so much the laws that are currently in place that’s the issue, it’s the lack of regulation that’s created such an ingrained culture that’s going to take a long time to evolve. So, technology like this would stil definitely be utilised in the future.
My thoughts, anyway.
And honestly, I didn’t even realise there was another school shooting in the US. Internationally, I guess it just gets covered less and less because it’s not really “news” anymore.
I first saw it on salon under a story about Steve Doocy being an idiot. They barely make the news in the US unless there’s some extra aspect that makes it unusual.
Which do you think is easier, getting a system like this installed in a school, or changing US gun culture?

I don’t think it even made the news here in NZ, if it did it was just one brief story.
Mass shootings are a matter of routine in the states.
