[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3785506, member: 1132"] You're right, most of us don't believe PreCrime[B]™[/B] is the answer. If someone is mentally incompetent, they can be adjudicated as such (a much higher bar than ERPO's) and either banned from possession of firearms, or involuntarily committed for safety reasons. If you just have some angry a-hole making threats, then the actual answer is to perform a risk assessment and apply countermeasures. That's because this is still a free country and not a dictatorship. With freedom comes responsibility. I guarantee you could take almost every ISD in this country and find someone who's posed a threat to them. Based on that information, hardening schools, improving communication and addressing issues more promptly are all necessary steps. Long before the first ERPO is issued, people should also be advised to take responsibility for their own security. Until all the many court cases reaffirming that the government has no duty to protect individual citizens from other individual citizens are overturned (and think VERY carefully before you demand that happen), you are responsible for the safety of you and yours. If your ISD doesn't adequately provide for the safety of your children or address potential threats effectively, then demand they do or homeschool. [/QUOTE]
