Just another Senseless Tragedy ..30 Years dealing with Failed Society! Can we Design a Sensor to Detect a Firearm Please? Is it Possible to Direct a Warrant by phone ..if no response, the phone is Silenced? Then, a Touch-Tracking device monitors the Human Activity by cellular feed..(no way to hide). Advanced Techniques, Something to give Merit too. I'll be Lighting a Candle.. Forever Thanks!!
