Another school shooting....time to arm the teachers?

Another school shooting. Time to arm the teachers?

No, it’s time not to grasp for idiotic ‘solutions.’

You mean like trying to disarm everyone in a nation of 300 million-plus people except for police and military? THAT kind of idiotic solution?

I see nothing idiotic about having armed adults protecting schools full of children when they've already been so overwhelmingly proven to be popular targets for crazy gunmen. As I keep saying, if I already trust them with my children, why in the Hell wouldn't I trust them with a gun?
 
Another school shooting. Time to arm the teachers?

I say yes. Of course proper precautions should be taken but lets allow administration officials to protect the children and themselves.

Yes! - They can have a safe inside their desk to prevent any students from gaining access to the gun. Teachers should be armed to protect the students & themselves.

A safe? Seriously? You want them fumbling around with the damned lock while someone's blowing away students?

No, you have them get qualified for concealed-carry, and then have the guns on their person at all times, so that they're ready and able to respond the instant trouble shows up.

I have no problem trusting teachers to keep their guns out of the hands of students without locking them up, any more than I have a problem trusting cops to keep criminals' hands off their guns while carrying them. And I'm much less worried about some hypothetical situation where a student MIGHT get hurt with a teacher's gun than the manifestly real and apparently common situation of some jackwagon shooting up a school.
 
Another wingnut jumping at the chance to politicize a tragedy.

Well done, Grampa Douchebag.

Wanting to protect the kids is so douche baggish of me......

Fuck off troll
Every time there is another mass shooting - and I think this is the 14th this year - there are calls for gun control.

And every time that happens, wingnuts accuse them of politicizing a tragedy.

Why isn't what you are doing "politicizing a tragedy", Grampa Douchebag?

Perhaps because the only agenda HE'S advancing is finding an actual, realistic solution to the problem, instead of merely using it to try to move toward some idealized political dreamworld.
 
I'm surprised cons would trust teachers with guns since they believe all teacher are liberals.

And no, given the fact that sometimes teachers abuse children, teachers should not be armed.

Guns should be kept in the home and at businesses.

THAT'S IT.

No one should be walking the streets with them, except LEOs.

Yes, and I'm sure that criminals will respect that, because they're such law-abiding citizens. :cuckoo:

In the REAL world, meanwhile, we look for solutions based on how the world works, rather than how we wish it worked.
 
Kind of soon to find some political thing to gripe about on this latest shooting. Details are hardly known.

Multiple people killed including children. Heartbreaking.

Children among several dead in Conn. elementary school shooting | Local News - WCVB Home

The only ones talking about politics are the idiots. I'm talking about the ability to defend our children.

I think most of us want our children to be safe, left and right. Grampa we are not even certain who the shooter was yet. As details are revealed we can discuss actions that might prevent tragedies but kind of early imo.

I'm curious to know how knowing "who the shooter was" is going to change the fact that shooting him before he shot a bunch of other people would be a viable solution.
 
And yet Israeli citizens are well armed as are the Swiss, and nobody is showing up at their schools to gun down children. In our previous generations probably most Americans owned firearms and older school children had them in their vehicles at school because they went hunting early that morning or planned to do so after school. But nobody worried about anybody going berserk with a weapon at school. It isn't a poblem with guns. It is a problem with the culture.

So you are saying we would be safer if we were a racist police state run by religious loons?

Seriousy?

Its funny how you morons don't trust teachers to teach but you'd trust them with discharging a deadly weapon in a room full of kids.

Nice try, loser, but conservatives have no problem with individual teachers as a rule. We have a problem with school district curriculums and policies, we have a problem with their union leaders and their agendas, and we have a problem with the handful of bad apples that inevitably turn up in any barrel. The rank-and-file teachers, by and large, are just fine.
 
I tell ya what... if this school yard shooting makes a lot of people scream gun control then just wait until some mentally unbalanced piece of shit sneaks a couple of uzi's and several big ass clips into a football stadium and cuts loose. Then the nra will have no choice. Let's see a hundred people get killed all on tv-like. You know it is bound to happen. If we don't at least make an effort at finding these whackos before they can play out thier insane fantasies the public will demand and get SOME serious gun control.

If such a thing happens on any given Sunday you can kiss assault weapons, big clips and maybe anything with more amunition in it than a 6 shot revolver Bye bye.

You know it's true.
 
Horse crap. Bunch a smoke no fire. Substantiate your comments. And, no, America is less than socialistic than Switzerland.

What a bunch of far right radicals: ignorant, arrogant folks who know very little and most of that is wrong.

The much needed discussion on gun-control.

Yes?

They aren't decreasing, their increasing. In both frequency and verocity.

An elementary school...that's a new low.

And BTW, the answer ain't arm everyone...we're not going back to the cowboy days of the wild, wild West.

Perhaps it will prompt a much-needed discussion about mental health in this country, as the issue isn’t guns or their availability.

As with other medical issues, if detected and treated early, mental disorders can be managed in a manner as not to manifest in acts of violence.

There is also the very difficult issue – in that Americans don’t like to talk about it or even acknowledge it – of the basic nature of American culture; where we perceive violence as a legitimate means of conflict resolution.

However we address the issue, simply ‘banning’ guns, or placing greater restrictions on guns will succeed in only diminishing our civil liberties and allowing the violence to continue.

How would you like to address the issue of mental health? I know you leftist dimwits like to pretend that it's brutally hard to get mental health care, but it's really not. The problem is that some people choose to get a gun instead of getting a therapist. How are you planning to fix that?
 
Those teachers who want to arm need to do an annual psychological screen, testing, and training, plus the licensing and class requirements.

We are going to have screen all gun buyers: no exceptions.

Well, I allow for YOU reading something that idiotic into my post and that YOU probably should not be allowed anywhere near a firearm, but no, that was not what I was saying at all.

You were the one who posted a Zionist cow with a gun around kids like this was a good thing.

(Forgetting that the Zionists treat half their population like animals and live in total fear of them.)

The thing is, most private citizens don't need guns, and if we got rid of them, we'd all be better off for it.
 
Where this happened has some of the toughest gun laws in the country.
Worked real well for those poor kids.
Prayers to their families.

prayers to the next victims who will surely be killed in this gun mad country

And I'll bet money that those next victims will be located in one of the "gun-free zones" so treasured by idiots like this.

Wow...Stretch Armstrong strikes again! :lol::lol::lol:
 
Sigh the simple solution is you lock all doors, and people need to be buzzed in. That will make it harder, but then you need a simple medal detector once inside. Mostly just for the adults coming in.

This would take funding, so not sure if people would be ok with it.

The easy fix to this is that there is no easy fix to this.

Yes, I'm looking for a solution that involves all law-abiding citizens living their entire lives in fear, huddled behind locked doors and metal detectors. That beats the hell out of defending ourselves. :cuckoo:

And the fact that that is what you took from my post is why I think it advisable to keep guns and all sharp implements away from you.
