... The devices are worn as a lanyard. The sequence of button presses alerts school administration and school resource officers and, or the local sheriff's department to a life-threatening situation. The button was pressed during the active shooting situation on Wednesday and the school resource officers began "actively looking," he said. "These panic buttons saved a lot of time, and, in my view, probably saved a lot of lives," said Former FBI Agent & ABC News contributor Brad Garrett.

OK, my first thought upon reading this article is ...
The Republican legislators tacitly admit that there is a problem with the proliferation of guns in the Country.
But they choose to try to propose laws that resolve the symptom (alert law enforcement of a school under attack ASAP), and not the root cause (the proliferation of guns owned by crazies).

You know what's stupid? Armed guards protect our President and Vice President, airports, banks and even some shopping malls. But somehow we cant get armed guards in all schools.

I'm not sure why you rebel at being called a racist. A large part of the MAGA movement has been the effort to make racism acceptable again by the mainstream.
Your personal racism is emphasized each and every time Trump talks about the personal Characteristics of Kamala Harris.

You know what's stupid? Adults demanding kids go to school in prison light just so they don't have to give up any of their safety blankets or, god forbid, own them responsibly.

We do, pal.
That would be you and your idiotic ideas.

Interesting that you said that.
These look exactly like the devices they use in prison.

Only in America do the schools have to divert funds from classroom supplies and salaries to harden school doors, windows, install safe rooms, armor classroom doors, install panic devices, etc so they can worship at the altar of the god of cheap, easy to obtain mass shooting weapons and ammo vending machines because they are afraid of the NRA and a voting block that is paranoid of home invasions and government tyranny (while supporting a candidate who wants to be a tyrant).
