Something must be done soon to protect our students, who remain vulnerable after Newtown. While debate on gun control will rage for years before anything meaningful is accomplished, a solution exists that defends our children without raising 2nd Amendment concerns. Gunshot sensors have already been effectively installed in municipalities around the country. Protecting schools with inconspicuous, focused and effective placement of this technology would deter criminals from selecting them as undefended easy targets, without making our teachers and students simultaneously feel like prisoners. Such devices would instantly notify police of trouble and pinpoint the location of perpetrators at an affordable cost of less than $40/student. Congress should pursue this solution immediately.
