Cars have the use of getting from A to B guns have one use and one use only the banning cars straw man is stupid and over done and seems to be the only argument gun nuts throw out on this board.

Guns are also useful to manage the feral hog population.

Clearly the solution to gun shootings is to bring more guns into the picture.


The guys who arrested and stopped the suspect in fact brought more guns into the picture.

So why wouldnt arming teachers be a viable short term solution until we come up with a longer term one? Something besides teachers may snap because thats not a good answer given the issues we have police doing that more often than CCW carriers.

Here it is, guys. What you've been waiting for.

https://heavy.com/news/2018/02/nicolas-nikolas-nick-cruz-florida-school-shooter-gunman-instagram/

Honestly a lot of people were saying it was going to be him, the student said. A lot of kids threw jokes around like that, saying that hes the one to shoot up the school, but it turns out, you know, everyone predicted it. Thats crazy. He was on the third floor, he knows the school layout. He knows where everyone would be at. Hes been in fire drills, hes prepared for this stuff.

Fucking dumbasses

The gun should be in their person at all times. And students shouldn't be told which teachers have guns. That should remain confidential for obvious reasons. You didn't think this through much did you?

Turning a gun shooting into a stand off will more likely cause more injuries or death. Civilians are not trained to deal with an active shooter.

Yes in an amendment as in amended as in something that can be changed and what use do guns have as a tool other than for killing someone or something?

No other use. Millions of people abide by the law and carry every day. Its terrible that criminals do bad things and misuse the tool, but peoples legal right to own them shouldn't be infringed.

Its a living document and may be amended. I doubt the 2nd will ever be written out.

Thats why you train them and certify them in tactical situations. Churches employing security teams already do this.

Lol so we cant afford to pay teachers more salaries but we sure can spend billions of dollars on giving active shooter training on how to take them down along with providing firearms to teachers. Lol great.

Where is it going to be concealed?

Because if its in a holster...you can still see they have a firearm...so its not hidden as you said where you dont know if a teacher has one.

So don't. If your colleagues want to, why stop them? Not saying they do, I don't know you or them obviously. I'm sure some teacher in some public school would like the opportunity as they probably already have a permit to carry- just can't do so in a school zone.

Schools already run drills to train the staff and students during normal school hours how to act in the case of an active shooter, similar to fire drills.

Just because they are not armed does not mean they hide and barricade themselves from harm.

Also my high school at the very least had a few security guards around during normal school hours. I would hope this is the case with other schools, if not than maybe other schools need to improve their security before arming teachers.

So would we have to fire teachers that don't want to go through gun training? They'd be putting their class at risk, no? The school shooters would just target those classrooms? Or should we let children carry guns too? Ooh how about an armed guard in every room? How third-world or dystopia do we need to go to scare shooters out of action?

There might be merit to this. Look at what happened once countries started to make nuclear weapons. The cold war, for example.

God you're insufferable


Not worth discussing this subject with.

Seriously though. What good would optional gun training do? Aren't gun-free zones a thing we blame for shootings? Wouldn't a gun free classroom just be painting a target on itself? Or are we seriously banking on M.A.D. improving society by instilling the fear of anyone potentially packing?
