I concede that point.VoiceofReason wrote:I agree with you WildBill that many of the larger stores have detectors to prevent theft, but still it continues. But it is a deterrent and I submit that without those detectors theft would be much worse than it is now.
The legislation would not pass and I would not support it. IMO the amount of money spent on metal detectors is irrelevant.VoiceofReason wrote:I tried a couple of times on this forum to get people to consider this exact scenario to no avail. It seemed very few members thought it could happen. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32747&hilit bottom of page.
I also suggested a couple of ways to deal with the signs posted at businesses. I felt like I was just wasting my time.
Well here goes again. We need legislation requiring any business or other establishment that posts 30.06 to have metal detectors at all entrances and armed security at those entrances. This would prevent criminals from just carrying past the signs and 99% of all 30.06 signs would be taken down within a week, even those that have been there for years.
Do you think businesses would spend the money to put in metal detectors, or take down the signs? If MDA or any other antigun group opposed this legislation it would turn a glaring spotlight on the fact they are not trying to reduce “gun violence” they are just trying to disarm law abiding people. The solution is there.
