    I’m assuming firearms are also restricted in NYC schools.

      Yeah but the thing with mass shooters is that they don’t give a fuck what the law says.

        No, they don’t. But anyone who could smuggle in a phone could smuggle in a gun.

          Yeah, and again: the thing with mass shooters is that they don’t give a fuck what the law says.

          They’re not going to go through the phone checkpoint, they’re just gonna open fire. This would not stop a mass shooting.
