Metal detectors needed at all schools, movie theaters

Maybe like many of you I have come to realize that we are at war like French President Francois Hollande has said. Here in America we may not have bombs dropping on us as in wars past in other countries but the enemy is among us, cowards that they are they skulk around until they decide to strike, as they have in France. We have to be proactive in protecting our citizens, it is time to have metal detectors for movie houses and schools, sad to say that is the world that has been created for us.

I can hear the remarks now, people will say, no we can't live like that, but the other choice is to die in a mass shooting, and it may not be ISIS , practically anyone can have a gun in this country and I am sure there are people that have many designer guns.

I am writing this because we have been lucky enough to come through WW II with my family and thousands of other people,so until you hear bombs going over and the house shaking from the aftermath as my family did, you will feel that we are too far away to be affected, but as I said earlier the enemy is already here, so it will be interesting to see any comments on this subject, as it certainly needs discussion.
