[@eddyk3]

Why would a teacher run after someone with an automatic rifle when an armed police deputy was too scared to enter the school in Florida?

[@Zoki4444]

The teacher would be more likely to run after someone with an automatic rifle because the teacher cares about the safety of his/her students. The police deputy only cares about his own safety.

[@mariepierrenarr7784]

Zokizzy Foshizzy // Just two words to deflate that argument: Fort Hood.

[@NKA23]

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.

Sorry i lived in three countries as I grew up, and not a single one of them had security let alone security that was armed. One of the countries was under civil war. If you must have such security let a professional do it as opposed to a teacher. 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. America really needs to look at the rest of the world and try and figure out how everyone else is managing and they can't.

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. The crazy nutjob at your child's school can't kill other kids or yours. Kids aren't afraid to go to school here!

[@nickiceboundgaming8860]

TSK Rubio was trying to argue that a ban doesn't work because people will just buy the guns that aren't banned. Following his own logic however he then accidentally stumbled upon the obvious solution to this problem of banning not just some, but all semi automic rifles. Wich is exactly what most people in the audiance want. Thus they applauded him for countering his own argument by accident.

[@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.

[@gadyariv2456]

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.

But most semi automatic rifles have a clip of about 30 rounds which I don't think is to much. Some hanguns can hold around 20-25 bullets so not much of a difference. If we had a ban on semi auto rifles today it just wouldn't work the way people want it to. Americans that follow the law would probably give up there guns but not criminals or just ones that don't want to do it.

We let the teachers and by proxy the children be helpless? Or do you give them a fighting chance?

Hunters can have their bolt action rifles, and double barrelled shotgun would suffice for home protection if semi automatics were removed from the landscape. Semi automatics aren't about accuracy, they're about volume of fire. Crowded situations wouldn't come under fire as much if one slows down the rate of fire. There's no real point to semi automatic assault weapons except for mass murder.

The best part of my day is when i come home from work and tune into your channel to watch you take on this incompetent, degenerate imbecile occupying the White House. He's an insult to the country and to the whole world. And I'm not even a US citizen! Love all your videos. Keep up the good fight. Keep us all sane. Love from NorthEast India.

[@SceptilePetile]

There were 2 armed guards in Florida. They earn $16 an hour. Not a lot of wiggle room to be a hero.

[@bangtanforever102]

Scene N. Herd Let's ASSUME he encountered the shooter.. a hand gun VS an AR15.. the shooter was in a HALLWAY where students were there... if you are in his shoes, would you shoot right away??? what if innocent kids get shot instead.. will the LAW protect him?? think about that! YES it was a MISTAKE, it was his JOB and he should be ashamed of what he failed to do..and he lost his job and i would also NOT argue if he would be punished because of it or even convicted from it tbh... but can you blame him if you are in his shoes??? an AR15 VS a hand gun??? mmmmmm.

[@the-vr4ek]

Are you saying the fact the armed guards are paid $16 an hour is the reason they didn’t do their job?

[@NKA23]

Arm teachers and it won´t take long until one of them will go postal on students. What´ll they do then? Arm the kids?

[@Avicaris]

*"Someone hell bent on killing, is going to find a way to do it."* Yup, so we should do absolutely nothing to make it more difficult for them... *"Arm the kids?"* Just a day or two ago, the NRA fought against the idea of raising the minimum age to purchase rifles. Interestingly, there isn't even a minimum age requirement for joining the NRA, and they even have a separate class of membership for those 20 or younger. So, you may have meant it as a joke, but it's not as implausible as we'd like to think.

[@2012Parag]

'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.

[@rasheedmiller9301]

Trigger Town I honestly hate people like you, America clearly has a mass shooting problem but every time there is a shooting, people like try to deflect by using this argument and it’s stupid

[@sheepinwolfesclothing]

Avicaris what do you suggest, if some one can legally buy a weapon they should be able to. What legislation has proven to be effective ? I would say banning or restrictions have not helped , look at chicago

[@digdug8911]

I'm a child. Does this man expect me to feel safe in a building full of weapons? How would I learn knowing that a teacher has a firearm? Maybe the teacher has anger issues, and I could end up dead. That is stress on me and everyone else in a safe public space where children are expected to learn.

Trump thinks History lessons are about teaching 'how we win wars'

[@azurebalmung4520]

Well, Trump does love talking about victories that he, personally, had no part in.

[@TheJrbdog]

Azure Balmung in my history class I learned about a failure that he also didn't have a part in

[@underwater5474]

Sun Tzu: "For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."

[@commonsense31]

Well if history is how we win wars! Then it’s not American history you should study.

[@valentinarichard1602]

What is wrong with this man? Is he crazy, rather than change the gun laws he wants to expose children to more guns.

[@margaretbonassar709]

Valentina Richard it hasn’t been verified yet, but we’re all betting on crazy

[@swanes13]

Trump greatest man from god to ever be elected

[@shanewalters4752]

Valentina Richard Thank you for your support man, I hate that dork so much, Fuck him!

[@valentinarichard1602]

Margaret Bonassar I think crazy sounds right.

[@shanewalters4752]

Valentina Richard indeed it does, he's a dumbass

[@phoenixjordan4536]

I had to read an essay about this idea. Reading it I nearly went completely crazy, Everyday teenagers, or younger students, risk their lives going into schools.

[@c182SkylaneRG]

Because it's completely unheard of for these attackers to wear body armor...

[@DetectiveRackham]

...or the victims.

[@yamiRic]

I feel sorry... I laughed when US picked Trump as his president.. but nowadays, I really feel bad for US citizens.. even those highschool students sound smarter than the government and senators Please stay safe there...

[@switchgyrl]

richardanthony Exactly. The wisdom of children.

[@jba9964]

don't be, the US citizen were the ones who elected him

[@ruchitsharma11]

Could have been worse if Clinton was the president.They didn't have the choice.

[@HexIsme]

Oh yes, the horrors of a non-treasonous president who can string an articulate sentence together and not be surrounded by the lowest sorts of scandal 24/7. Get the fuck out, you deflecting lepton. Nobody likes Clinton but she sure as fuck has a lot of marks over Trump.

[@hitcherpark9050]

The citizens didn't elect him; He lost the popular vote.
