Extra training to deal with civilian world, placed in schools? They would already have advanced weapon and active shooter training, the extra training would be to deal with civilians, rather than soldiers?

    It would give veterans a job opportunity, it would be funded, and it would provide at least some sense of protection/defense of the schools?

    No I didn't read back 5 pages of commentary.
    In theory it is great but all you need is one Vet with PTSD or who fought in the ME seeing some Muslim student and you can figure out why the idea wont work.

      Sorry Brent but they dont fall in line with logic. The solution to the violence isnt more weapons...

      And trust me no teacher is going to work in that environment. The Republican wet dream of no more public schools will become a possibility.

      I get why it makes sense on the surface but in practice it will crumble. It is better to train teachers how to protect their students in other ways.

          According to this genius most mass shooters are Deomcrats. When pressed to back up her claim she then did what all GOPers do...and blamed the media.

                  The kids seem to be striking a lot of nerves by speaking out. Latest slam against them I've seen is "you kids are just as deadly as gun owners with your texting while driving. Did texting laws curb those accidents?"

                  The fringe really are grasping at straws.

                        Extreme as arming teachers - that's something new, too. Both are not viable solutions.

                        We need to figure out why life has become an expense rather than an asset. When life is (re)considered to be something of great value I believe most of the mass killing will stop.

                          Why?

                          Other nations have done it and solved the problem.

                          "This is unavoidable" says only nation where this constantly happens.

                          How about this: ban all ranged weapons for 20 years. The sunset provision on the law is that after the 20 years we have a popular referendum on whether to revoke the ban.

                          We're talking about reducing the homicide rate by up to 67% -- gotta figure a few people are going to be really committed and go in for the strangling. Not to mention the suicide rate.

                          Facts.

                            That's why I specified additional training, to weed out the ones with PTSD and such. Plus, with my previous mentions of limitations on people with mental illness getting guns (which PTSD would most certainly fall under)....

                              Had a nice cry this morning listening to one of the fathers of the victims (14-year old daughter) being interviewed on Morning Joe this morning. I have a picture of one of my kids when she was 14 in my office. Yeah, not a good morning.

                                My daughter is a teacher in a red state. The thought of these dumbas-ses actually moving forward with their "arm the teachers" derp is both sad and disgusting.
