Along with putting Chips in Guns we should install RFID Readers around perimeters of Schools, Hospitals, Train Stations, Airports, Entrances to Office Buildings, Movie Theaters, etc. that either set off a Loud Siren or Lock the Doors or Both.

I don’t know the distances required. If they work 500 feet from a School Entrance then do it. If it must be closer, say 50 feet, then do it. They are not expensive and if they set off a Siren that Scares the Hell out of a would be shooter who turns around and runs away then it has paid for itself the first time.

If it can also lock the doors and set off the sirens and dial 911 even better. They can be installed on post or poles 15 to 25 feet off the ground or perhaps on the buildings facing away from building with an antennae type device. This will be up to the experts. I am only suggesting the idea. If we can send a man to the moon and back we can do this.

The Chips only need to be in the guns and the School or other Building Readers, not in peoples hands. That system is too easy to flout. Crazed shooter will just get a different gun without RFD or he will use his gun that has the RFD plus a chip in his hand, or wherever.

My suggestion protects the physical locations, starting with schools. Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg or a group of Philanthropist could underwrite the entire retrofitting of every school in America.


Sadly, I know there's at least one DUer that Shares this fellows' opinion Loudly...
