Current Events > Florida has combat veteran as armed guard at school

(+) Yeah! (+)

hopefully not, Id fear for their safety :(

Oh. So he gets shot first is what youre saying, then everything just becomes a normal school shooting.

Got it.

let's not overestimate how efficient a soldier is. still a regular person that can fuck up.

It's more a deterrent. A shooter wants the least amount of obstacles. Worst case scenario shooter goes for him first. Still buys everyone else time or doesn't help at all which case didn't matter if he was there or not.

Bring able to take his gun is a lame argument you could say the same about cops. Only a special kinda crazy would attempt to take on a combat veteran to get his gun unless he already had something good enough.

I'd hope anyways this guard doesn't just sit there and wait for shit to hit the fan but actively scrutinizes anyone who looks out of place. Can't always be 100% but working in a prison anytime something even feels off to me I keep my back to a wall so no one can sneak up behind me

But trains=guns, and governor lady=governor massive pile of shit wearing a tie.

What I'm saying is no one is going to attack a school guarded by a combat veteran.

People are acting like some shooter is going to see himself as the bad guy in a stagy old western and challenge the top gun for the right to shoot up the school. If shooters were like that, they'd go after places that they knew were guarded. We'd be seeing headlines about people going into police stations and opening fire. That typically doesn't happen. They target places where they believe they can catch people off-guard and do what they will with little or no resistance.

That school is one of the safest in America.

Guns are, at present, an inseparable part of American culture. Your best appeal to reason and your most cutting insult will do nothing to get people to lay down their arms.

The solution to the gun problem in America isn't years in the making -- it's decades away. Removing the underlining motivators and recognizing the warning signs are ultimately the solution for dealing with guns. But for now, the guns are already on the streets. They are already in the hands of the wrong people. Having individuals whose job it is to deal with that threat is more practical than finger waving about how stupid and violent people are.

Have you not seen any stories of school shooters or something? They all go into it planning on dying. If someone plans on shooting this school up they aren't going to be afraid of this guy. They will just shoot him first and take his rifle

I wouldn't feel safe having a combat veteran being armed around kids.

The thing is, the most of us dont want to get rid of guns. We want more CONTROL over guns. Set up red flag laws. Setup stricter requirements to own a gun. Get some mental health testing. A license that needs to be renewed like a car license.

Then every day spent not separating them from American culture is a day of kicking the can down the road. "This process will take a long time" is a poor justification for not starting the process.

Yes. As Americas police force shooting unarmed individuals has proven time and time again that we just need more good guys with guns.

police =/= soldiers

still doesnt mean he suffers from mental problems

True. Theres A LOT more cases of soldiers having issues with undiagnosed PTSD than police officers.

Police have a culture of preying upon minorities, of murdering people and claiming self-defense even against damning video evidence. You're far, far more likely to see police abuse their power than you are to see a retired soldier / active bodyguard do the same.

So youre sting theres a chance, albeit small, it may happen. Got it.

There's a chance the teacher you hire is a child molester.

No idea what that has to do with a soldier potentially snapping, or a deranged student with a death wish purposely choosing the school he knows already has extra firearms in it.

Do I know the solution? No. Do I think adding armed guards to schools will act like any sort of deterrent to someone already looking to do damage? Also no.

still infinitely better than having a cop do it.

Except it is a deterrent. A crazy shut in with minimal firearms training wouldn't want to get into a shootout with a military veteran.
