0 Days Since Last Shooting: Reset The Calendar Again

[mookie1995]

I wouldnt touch that school with a ten foot pole. I am sorry but teachers dont need guns and it creates way more issues than it could ever solve. Plus it wont stop any of this anyways...in fact I would bet it would only make it worse. That district would crap the bed too because every parent with means would pull their kid out.

I can just see it now, active shooter and Teacher A decides to be Rambo and tries to go after him...the amount of fatalities would double.

One of the worst ideas ever. I would fear the teachers more than I ever would a school shooting.

Insurance and potential settlements could bankrupt school districts and municipalities

Both my parents were teachers. My sister is a teacher. The idea of arming them is ridiculous. They wanted to be teachers, not law enforcement.

Second, you already have trained police officers shooting unarmed people. It would only be a matter of time before some trigger happy gun nut teacher kills some kid without cause.

The "good guy with a gun" myth has taken hold with a large portion of society, even among people who are not normally gung-ho when it comes to guns and the NRA.

Like most of the narratives the NRA would have you believe, the "good guy with a gun" is a wildly inaccurate fantasy. One study by the RAND corporation showed that over a nearly 10-year period, New York City police officers missed their targets the vast majority of the time. The hit rate was just 30% when the suspect was NOT returning fire, and an astoundingly minuscule 18% of the time if the suspect WAS returning fire. How many people out there think the average citizen would be any better than a supposedly "highly trained" cop?

Of course this is based on empirical data and a highly organized, scientific study. Which means today's NRA member and 95% of the republican party would judge it as dubious as best, and likely fake.

Cause cops are fat doughnut eatin pu$$ies?

We'd be better off if that was true. There are far more cops suffering from weight room fatigue and 'roid rage than the ones who see a dozen glazed as a small mid-shift snack.

So we should double down and put more weapons in schools? You have any idea how much the insurance will skyrocket WITHOUT an incident just cause the potential went up exponentially? mookie even if you are trolling that was a weaksauce effort.

Here is why this whole thing is a bad idea, it will take less than two years before a teacher "fears for their life" in a bad neighborhood and shoots a student.

Or another teacher also keen on playing Rambo, when they startle each other coming around a corner looking for the shooter during an active incident.

Perhaps all involved in this thread should read "Behold a Pale Horse" by Milton William Cooper.

Better yet all involved in this thread should read Pale Horse Coming. Great story even if you don't have a gun fetish, but if you do you might have to hide this book under your bed for later.

I've also seen violent video games, "being soft on discipline," and abortion blamed.

Soft on discipline just means we can't beat the **** out of kids anymore.

Tyler Tannahill, a Republican congressional candidate from Kansas, also drew criticism this past week for offering an AR-15 giveaway as part of his campaign.

The best part.

Basically when you buy an AR-15 your compensating for something. That's the only explanation.

The somber protests lasted only a few minutes "in order to symbolize how quickly someone, such as the Parkland shooter, is able to purchase a gun in America," the teen organizers wrote. https://t.co/3nlv27Q5fH

Anyone who thinks the latest school shooting changed minds is fooling themselves. While I love the spirit and resolve of the teenagers in Florida and elsewhere who are vowing to make change happen, I also feel sorry for them. They are about to discover that politicians of all stripes are even more cowardly than all but the most pessimistic among us already know and believe. This isn't the 1960s anymore when there were still enough people in power who could be moved by something other than a campaign check when young people mobilized. Before these brave, open minded and hopeful high school students can complete their March 14th protests all over the country, there will be probably be another mass shooting, maybe even at another school. We don't do it with explosive vests strapped to our chests and under some horribly twisted notion of religion like in far too many other places but we're every bit like those parts of the world where simply going to the market on any given afternoon might leave dozens of us dead. I weep for the innocent lives shattered. It's too bad these killings go on and on and on and on. Perhaps if one happens within the halls of congress, and the dozens dead include nothing but the cowards currently in office, something will finally change. Short of that, nothing really will. This has become our way of life and the price we pay for our "freedom."
