In the grand scheme of things, you cannot reasonably stop people who lose their shit from doing anything.
You ban guns and they run around with cars or swords or make explosives
we cannot un-learn these things
NICS should have a bit more of a handle on things
but in this shooter's case; really I'm not sure that the feds should have been able to do anything
maybe the teachers could have actually been armed?
As much as I might dislike that kids were shot and killed; it's honestly probably not possible to actually predict and 100% stop nutjobs like this
Arming teachers and having armed security is a very logical thing to do.
short of infringing rights significantly
Well, I'm not suggesting arming them per-se, but allowing them to do so would be nice
Giving them the ability to be armed yes.
Don’t have to force them.
In that case, you're removing at least one penal code from the state
so I has no issue
It sounds fucked up to say, but I am more OK with random spurious lunatics losing it than I am with giving up the rights enumerated in the constitution of the US
I'd of course, rather they be stopped
but I don't want to go down the thoughtcrime path
Where I live we have security guards at all schools, some teachers have personal weapons, and in general lots of people walk around with military grade weapons (which are allowed in schools). Can’t recall ever having a school shooting so guns aren’t the problem.
Yeah, there are like a handful of states/municipalities that allow it afaik
Here in the social justice capital of the united states however, that's a big nono
The problem with armed security is the cost
And that in public schools it would be taxpayers money
Better to spend it on security than stupid social programs.
Bray areayylmao only
not SF
(Thankfully)
Just cut wasteful expenses and start funding security (also creates new jobs).
actually most campuses already have security
But really, I think one gaurd and only the main entrance unlocked to the outside might have helped. If there was a button that trigger an internal lockdown and the procedure of "if you see a person with a fucking long gun, press button first ask questions later", it might have helped some
they just aren't armed at all
Security might as well not be security if they aren’t armed.
red alert button might be good but
I dunno how effective it'll be
Everyone armed to the teeth
students, teachers
janitors
Well, it's better than letting a dude pull a fire alarm and wait for his victims to come running
the principal with a deagle brand deagle
A nun that happened to be there
I still question how a dude with a long gun gets into a school unnoticed
