Trump Wants More Guns In Schools

[@ZenzeroCAM]

Glad I live in Scotland where when a mass shooting at a school happened in Dunblane in 1996 the country said "Nope, no more handguns" and there hasn't been a shooting since. Went through school not having to worry about being shot.

Barbara Schupp Idk. It seems mass shootings have become quite the norm in America.

[@LukeCuddy]

The idea that money is an expression of free speech is fundamentally flawed, because money is not equally distributed. Because our government does not provide funds for its own continuance, candidates run on private pools instead of public (tracked) assets. So, the money of an organaztion becomes worth votes in the very real sense of advertising and spin control, boost your message and garble your oppositions. Profit, currently has political capitol, which is being exchanged for lives. Greed Over People; is it any wonder that the party that hates government, absolutely sucks at running it?

Max Maxwell - absolutely correct! Us Aussies sold our guns back to the government, and since that national gun ban in the 90's *we haven't had a single gun massacre since* . You can still own a gun by getting a license and use it to hunting or go to a shooting range, but the whole country is collectively *safer because of the ban* . Everyone feels safe from gun violence.

You´re deluded, Zokizzy Foshizzy. A teacher who cares about their students will help them to get out of there as fast as possible instead of leaving them alone to look after a shooter. Also trying to confront an attacker with an assault rifle while you´re only having a pistol isn´t brave, it´s suicidal.

We expect teachers to do a hundred and one things, and now these morons(such as the one that replied above) expect them to protect the children from s crazed gun man.

[@basdfgwe]

Yeah if we are ever stuck down a hole your answer would be "let's dig our selves out". We need more guns at school than less guns ? Wtf ? Schools around the world operate with less guns.

TSK Rubio was trying to argue that a ban doesn't work because people will just buy the guns that aren't banned.

'Yup, so we should do absolutely nothing to make it more difficult for them...' - teachers and students used to carry guns to the school in America in 1950's, 60's, 70's and so on.....no mass shooting phenomenon was observed back in those times which indicates that the problem is societal and not attributable to guns. Here's an interesting graph - thesocietypages.org/feminist/files/2015/12/Mass-Shootings-Stanford-1.png

[@2012Parag]

Also, trucks, cars, knives, acid, chemicals etc have been used in Europe by Islamic terrorists in place of guns so banning guns seems to be futile to which you could claim that society needs trucks, cars, knives and acids so we can't ban them unlike guns BUT people in rural and sub-urban regions where the 911 response times are abysmal do need guns to protect themselves for house intruders, robbers etc so guns are needed by society as well.

Here's why giving teachers guns is a bad idea: My 9th grade German teacher was arrested for abusing his wife, my middle school gym coach was fired for walking in to the girls locker room while they were changing, my middle school band teacher was arrested for laundering money from the school system, and my junior year sociology teacher committed suicide. Dont get me wrong for every one of those teachers, i had good teachers who genuinely inspired me to learn. But teachers are human beings like the rest of us and they're just as susceptible to making mistakes.

Once had a substitute teacher literally write up every student for nothing. Next day, the real teacher said if we ever all act "like that again" we would all get detention. That substitute was fucking mean and had a short temper too. Would not give her a gun in the classroom.

[@alantonix213]

1. Even if the teachers are armed or not, the teachers will be shot first before the rest of the class gets shot. You don't know which teacher is packing? Shoot them first. Eliminate threat before it becomes a threat. 2. For maximum carnage, the shooter could get classmates while they're unloading from school buses. Which leads to arming school bus drivers. 3. The cycle repeats with different scenarios until pistols, shotguns, assault-style rifles are banned. :/ For the 2nd amendment and gun lovers 4. ''''''' Tyrannical tyrant governmental NWO takes over.

A lot of teachers have said they are not comfortable with a firearm in the classroom. My friend’s dad is Navy and has concerns about teacher/student safety during an active shooter situation where teachers have guns. According to him, law enforcement and SWAT are trained to shoot at anyone with a gun because they have no time to ask the teacher if they are the shooter. Thus there is the potential of more injuries and fatalities

[@jglobetrotter2830]

Isabell Dodson Exactly so. I am a teacher. If I am barricaded in my classroom with all my students pointing a gun at the door thinking a shooter is about to come in, amd the police come in instead, assuming that I don't panic and fire at the officer by mistake, the officer will see the gun in my hands and be very likely to fire at me, which means he is shooting in the direction of my kids too. I won't ever carry a gun at work. It would put students in more danger, not less.

you have a gun problem in your country. you have to have stricter gun laws for private citizens. striker then what you are suggesting, in a modern western nation only profetional police officers, security personnel, and military personnel should have access to guns. but the reality now that guns are common, arming the teachers is an insane idea, but you do need to hire armed security guards to post at schools all around America. because even with gun control it would take several decards to the number of guns already present in the US to drop. you can't make any legislation that would magically get rid of all the guns you have in your county. gun free zones need to be protected by professionals with guns until the threat of gun violence is removed. that's just logic.

I don't agree with the President wanting a bonus for teachers who carry guns in class. Having been professionally trained I can tell you in a crisis situation for most it’s a 50/50 chance to hit a target just 12 feet away. (that’s why we have automatic rifles). For someone moderately trained what will people think the first time a shot misses its target, oops! No, it will be I can't believe the teacher killed my kid. All those teachers who are great role models now faced with this horrendous burden. I also worry about all those teachers who are not the best role models some of them being bullies…. now lining up to carry guns. What kind of classroom will that be. I thought little Johnny had a gun, I acted in self-defense… I love my guns, but I can’t imagine a gun carrying School environment bringing less fear to our society. I can see it as one that destroys imagination and individuality as it pushes conformity. Think about it, no one fires just one shot in a gunfight. It will be an almost certainty that anyone returning fire will accidentally kill children they are protecting. Unimaginable to bear. Australia had A school shooting, they banned the assault rifles. Since that time the government has had buy backs for anyone who owned them. They have not had a single school shooting since. Schools are not the military, kids are not soldiers. Don’t promote a society that merges the two.

And what about other violent incidences at schools, like a fight? I've had to break up fistfights before, luckily I was there when they broke out, so no major injuries, but what if a teacher comes across a kid beating the crap out of another kid, and shoots the kid doing the beating. Now you've just used lethal force on a CHILD who, though harming someone, probably wasn't going to kill, and certainly didn't deserve the death penalty. And if you DON'T use the gun in that situation, you have to try and break up a fight, when you have a weapon on you... there are just way too many things that can go wrong in that scenario (and it's a very likely scenario, I've been a teacher for five years, and have had to break up four fistfights).

The single armed officer doesn’t go in because he cannot assume there is only one shooter and that shooter only has guns. If he went in, at best he might succeed...but there’s a greater chance he’d only add one more body to the count and give the shooter more firepower and a radio to eavesdrop on law enforcement. The shooter might also have an IED, maybe with a deadman switch. That means more dead people at a faster rate. The best thing to do is call in the SWAT team, which takes precious minutes to mobilize. An active shooter is a tactical nightmare.

Teachers are teachers. They’re not meant to be bodyguards and it’s really unfair to put that intense of a responsibility on them (protecting our kids lives from a shooter). School are already grossly underfunded and classes are overcrowded, I’d rather my money go for better equipment, books, things that will help my children learn, so that teachers and students can do the job they’re suppose to do. And the idea of having retired military or police officers to be your teacher so they’re already trained ... does it matter at all if they’re even good at teaching? This whole this puts too much on our teachers and also undermines how hard it is to be a teacher. It’s not a job anyone can do or a job anyone should just be able to do. Trumps suggestions are absolutely ludicrous and Marco Rubio’s “justification” is pathetic. There’s no reason civilians should have assault rifles and putting more guns in schools to deter someone from shooting it up ... it’s so unbelievably ridiculous how far this argument has gone when people are still dying. These are kids going to school and should be worried about homework, friendships, relationships, just being kids and teachers should be planning lessons, helping students, just being teachers.

[@whydoesyoutubeallowpeoplet6357]

Having a firearm just acts as an added security measure if worse comes to worse. There's no doubt that schools are a huge target to shooters because of the fact that its a "gun-free zone". If we up the security a bit, these would happen a lot less. Weather that's achieved by arming the teachers or having more security. Either way, there's no denying schools don't need some form of security. Shooting the killer is a better option than running away.

[@buteobuteo]

[@jglobetrotter2830]

why does KZbin allow people to have names this long? This is kind of ridiculous don't you think? No added responsibility in carrying a gun around kids??? Why don't you ask a police officer if you're right on that point? What monumentally stupid thing to say. As for your gun free zone nonsense, now you are just a liar. There are investigations into every shooting and *not one single investigation has found that the target was chosen because it was a "gun free zone" NOT EVEN ONE!* There's not even any evidence and you have the gall to say there's "no doubt"? LIAR. The VAST majority of mass shootings do not even occur in gun free zones!!

[@whydoesyoutubeallowpeoplet6357]

First of all, no need to get all worked up about it. I'm just stating my viewpoints. I'm not saying its a perfect solution either, I'd much rather have trained security personnel carrying firearms. But its not the worst idea in the world. It could potentially save a lot of lives.

[@carolinamurtha3102]

why does KZbin allow people to have names this long? This is kind of ridiculous don't you think? Of course there is added responsibility to having a fire arm; guns can kill people. Every profession who carry weapons on them are professions where there’s a high potential of being attacked or killed (like police officers). And those are professions you go in knowing that that’s a big possibility and I have so much respect for them doing a job where they might not be coming home. Teachers shouldn’t be on that list. Many go into teaching with a love and passion to teach and impact young lives, not have their lives on the line to be able to teach. I don’t think those who shoot up schools are of the sound mind to think of which one will be the easiest because clubs, movie theaters, restaurants, concerts, etc, have been targets. It’s wherever that person has directed their anger or what ever drives them to commit these heinous acts. And like I said in my first comment, teachers and schools are so underfunded already, where is the money going to come from to train and then arm them? They spend so much of their own money on supplies to be able to create and go through with lessons to teach our children but sure, let’s throw whatever money they could be using towards better textbooks, supplies, etc, and put it towards arming them 🤨.

Focusing on just gun control instead of addressing the underlying issues that lead to people killing others is the height of stupidity.

[@maheepsingh3612]

And those reasons are? And please, please don't say mental illness because that's really not a plausible reason as racism and supremism aren't mental illnesses

[@emcats84]

Maheep Singh metal illness is just one issue that needs to be looked at. The media inciting and dividing the public with their propaganda is another, the break down of the family, low socioeconomic areas and crime, drug use, especially psychiatric drugs and other issues all need to be addressed. Like I said, just focusing on gun control is height of stupidity. Sadly, the morons who love these late-night shows, who just try to sell you the leftist media talking points in a dumbed-down way, dance to their tune. Gun control has a place, but it is not a solution to the problems within society that produce these monsters like Cruz.

[@maheepsingh3612]

emcats84 I agree that it's a societal and capitalistic problem, but I honestly don't agree with any other point you just said there. Please note that I am in fact but American and hence haven't experienced this first hand, but I've seen all those points before and I've seen them be refuted multiple times with convincing enough evidence.

I think so too. One of my teachers lost it very often and broke a meter long ruler on the guy sitting next me hitting me in the process. Of course she got fired but imagine she had a gun that day.

[@Saraseeksthompson0211]

First off, not a lot of military veterans in teaching. Second, I am very leftist, yet do believe in school security. However, trained security guards, are one thing. Teachers should not be that. My mom is a teacher and she would end up shooting herself in the foot. And I grew up with police and security guards on campus due to gang related violence, and they stopped people from entering the school with guns during gang conflicts, and also used to patrol and protect the school. But not every school can do that. They were friendly and made us feel safe, but it’s sad we are to that point. Security should be enforced, but more importantly the education of mental illness, and emergency plans in place to protect students. There should be more protection in school so kids are safe once they are inside, but NOT armed teachers. Checking students for weapons and enforcing security measures is needed. But, also, education should be just that, educating on mental illness, safety, and also they should talk about things in school to help identify harmful behavior, how to react in those situations, and provide counseling for any one suffering from mental illnesses. Defense needs to happen, but not in the form of teachers forming a militia. These things will happen and it is awful, but we need to protect the students, keep harmful adults and others off of campus, and help but defensive and “offensive” preventative mental health support systems in place to help prevent the downward spiral of hurting students and maybe even teachers. This is sad that his response to everything is “shoot em”. These dads need to start thinking about what is best for their grandkids, and how they can prevent this type of thing happening in the future.

why should they protect themselves of a gun shooting while other teachers in other countries don't have that problem in the first place, also, "protect themselves" ? by going on a head to head western style facing the shooter with an assault rifle, when even the police officer who got to the school first didnt even go into it ?

[@daniellarsen5520]

Mahrez Mus the other country argument does not and probably never will work in America. Gun control? We've tried it. Several times. Maybe you don't remember the assault weapons ban we already had during Clinton. It didn't stop gun violence in any way. Or maybe look at California, Illinois, or New York. All these "common sense" gun measures are in place there and together they have the most gun violence in the country. So what's your suggestion? We let the teachers and by proxy the children be helpless? Or do you give them a fighting chance? You don't want more children to die but you refuse to admit that gun free zones, common sense gun safety, or any of that shit doesn't work. So what are our options? Just let it keep happening?

So if you have more guns then there will be less mass murders ! Please someone explain to me how this is possible. There was a armed officer on duty to prevent such calamity. Didn't shoot a single bullet. You expect teachers to be trained and directly come in line of fire. For how much compensation you will give to each teacher to volunteer to protect his her pupils apart from teaching the kids

[@whatarenames]

doctor of babies the teachers must swear that they will protect the kids at all costs already in the event of an emergency.

[@zxKAOS1]

Many shooters are suicidal so that's not a deterrent. If an armed guard can fail in their duties, you can bet teachers can too. Now, they have to go through more training, worry about more things, and on top of that, get their pay slashed since funding is often an issue. Also, in the heat of battle, the wrong people are likely to get shot. Last but not least, even if a teacher could shot the shooter, many would rather prefer that the shooter never had the means to do so in the first place.

[@Reyn_Roadstorm]

How will more guns lead to less mass murders you ask? Simple: Once there have been enough mass murders, then there's no one left to murder en masse. It's perfectly logical! @Eric Krampitz Law enforcement is by and large against arming school faculty for 2 reasons. 1) Having multiple people shooting at each other creates a crossfire. This *will* invariably lead to more student and faculty casualties and fatalities in any given school shooting. 2) Law enforcement officers are trained to go in to a situation like this *looking for people with guns.* Those are their targets. Those are the people that the cops are trained to shoot: people who have guns. This *will also* invariably lead to more faculty casualties and fatalities in any given school shooting.

[@theparadiddlydoo2771]

...or another alternative could be that every school in the United States installs an automatic locking system that allows doors to be locked during school hours? If any student or teacher needs to go outside, then they have their own key card to exit the building, and the doors just shut automatically behind them and lock again? Thoughts?
