Some, like <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pattonoswalt\/status\/1529620302078316544?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Patton Oswalt<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrislhayes\/status\/1529613112651001857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chris Hayes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ktumulty\/status\/1529782875243089920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Karen Tumulty<\/a>, seem confused about how doors work.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cone door\u201d school doesn\u2019t mean a single hinged barrier is all that will be accessible to everyone in the building. It means a single entrance. I know this isn\u2019t a revolutionary idea, since my children attended a sprawling high school that featured one big bay of entry doors with an intercom. Once a parent was buzzed in, they found themselves in a waiting area, a perfect spot for (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndySpecht\/status\/1529643462953521153\">non-cowardly<\/a>) armed guards. After entering another locked door, again waiting to be buzzed in, they wound up in an administrative office. I\u2019ve seen similar setups in government buildings and Jewish community centers. It isn\u2019t foolproof, of course, but surely far from crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Doors \u2014 and this is the part that seems to trip a lot of people up \u2014 do not necessarily open both ways at all times. Think, for example, of your own front door. Most of us can engage a protruding latch that sits at the edge of the door that locks it and allows us to selectively open and close it at the time of our choosing. New technology has also given us the ability to construct doors with handles on only one side, sometimes referred to as \u201cemergency doors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite thousands of office complexes, government buildings, and schools already utilizing a single-door policy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/igorbobic\/status\/1529830135087636484?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> today that \u201cfire marshals and tactical experts totally and vehemently disagree\u201d with its proponents. Safety specialist Chasten Buttigieg <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chasten\/status\/1529842119606734848\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">says<\/a> the \u201cone door\u201d solution is \u201can irresponsible and egregious recommendation far removed from reality. A shooter isn\u2019t going to stop and sign in at the front office.\u201d OK. If a gunman won\u2019t be hindered by a door (or armed security) what makes these people think they will voluntarily adhere to gun-free zones or background checks or bans on modifications? A debate over school security is a far more pertinent and useful conversation than the one Democrats want to have about irrelevant \u201cuniversal\u201d background check bills or \u201cghost gun\u201d bans, which have absolutely no bearing on school shootings.<\/p>\n<p>People are grappling to find solutions. Building a single <em>entrance<\/em> security precaution isn\u2019t a panacea, and policymakers should discuss the efficacy, feasibility, and downsides\u00a0of such plans. Killing is tragically easy to do. But the \u201cdo something!\u201d crowd has shown us they have zero interest in doing anything other than restricting gun ownership. They have no patience for bringing up the obvious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/marriage-and-family\/commentary\/the-crisis-fatherless-shooters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cultural<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/spare-bullshit-sen-chris-murphy-rips-gop-colleagues-texas-shooting-rcna30405\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">societal<\/a> factors undergirding these shootings.
