If a gun is detected, an alarm goes off in the security station or the police station.
This might yet be consigned to the realm of science fiction, but maybe not: What if once the camera recognized the gun, a robotic arm from the ceiling swooped down and grabbed the would-be shooter, disarming him?
Actually, as I think about it, I tend to believe we do have the technology to do these two things. Call the disarming device the Terrorist Disarming System, or the Shooter Disarming System. We have drones and robotics for many things these days, why not to disarm terrorists and other mass killers? Why not use the technology we have to answer one of the biggest problems we have? Solving one of our biggest problems in recent years might be as easy as utilizing some of our biggest technological advances that we have had in recent years, (Blog slightly rewritten 6/27/16)
