ccording to ABC News, on aver-
age there was at least one school
or campus shooting every week in
the United States last year. Canadian sta-
tistics are somewhat less terrifying; after
the 1989 École Polytechnique Massacre
(also known as the Montreal Massacre),
which left 14 students dead, only the La
Loche, Saskatchewan shootings of Janu-
ary 2016 came even slightly close to rival-
ing the casualty count.
Nonetheless, stricter gun laws are called
for, but short of using extrasensory powers
to draw out those who may misuse guns,
other proactive measures are needed to
ensure that shooting sprees don’t become
a routine news headline. Stanley Security
Solutions (SSS), a division of Stanley Black
& Decker, is working on exactly that.
