Does everyone really think arming teachers will stop gun violence?

I'm a bit confused as to why nobody has thought of just being more vigilant and aware of what's going on in schools to prevent school shootings. Most, if not all of the gunmen involved in every single school shooting has projected a sense of alienation. Perhaps the teachers and students should make a point to go out of their way to truly get to know everybody in their school, and not exclude people. There needs to be genuine camaraderie developed. Whenever the media features the description of these shooters, these guys tend to fit an alienated outsider sort of profile. They seem to have been shunned at school. Why else would they develop such a deep hate and drive to hurt everyone there? If these people had real social connections with people at school that made them feel TRULY a part of the school, that identity link with the school should force the person to associate their self identity with the school. This way the potential shooter can't dehumanize people he's familiar with on a daily basis. If he realizes he can depend upon them, and vice versa, that sense of social connection would likely prevent school shootings from ever happening.

One more thing! The ridiculous and useless commercial media is playing into these alienated shooters hands by making these sick murderers a for the moment celebrity. That limelight gives these shooters intensive attention they seek. My thought? Don't give them any media attention.

It's less about guns, weaponry, or whatever heinous tools get used in these violence sprees, and more about simple human behavior. Hate to say it all narrows down to that Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, but it's true.

I would love to hear a single case of someone in the crowd having a gun and this occurence stopping a mass shooting. Cos I have heard that argument, but I haven't seen it happening.

All I can see is that "defender" being mistaken for the original shooter and being shot by law enforcement. Or some other defender who means well but is clueless and panicking.

Surely the US has had enough shootings now that someone has tried this? No?

Idiots be idiots, ok look guns are everywhere in America already I can't say for other countries as I'm not that educated on them so what would be the point. Anyways it's to late to ban guns, we all have guns. But making gun free zones is just idiotic, don't get me wrong I totally get it im not trying to cause an argument just state my opinion is all. I believe it's idiotic cause well the person that's going to go shooting up a place isn't going to care if it's gun free or not. So i say let the respobspible licensed gun owners who desire to carry and accept and or are willing to put themselves in harm's way to save others well why would you want to stop someone who's trying to help when you desperately need it? Sure there's risk to there life but they willingly accept it, I guess my point being why restrict your ability to defend yourself and others when there's so many physcos out there. And for those of you uneducated getting a bun is actually very easy though it depends mainly on what you want. If you want a black powder firearm it's as simple as paying for it as legally there considered antique. If you want something like a handgun well depending on your history and what paperwork you bring with you it can be a breeze or a nightmare, want something like a suppressor or that's full auto? Good luck that shite is a bastard to get. So when it comes down to it as long as the clerk is doing there job there is actually a good amount of gun control. Honestly I support black powder forearms not needing a license for cause well, you can loose the ability to own a gun quite easily, I know a guy who defended himself from his wife attacking him she drew blood and attacked first he only bruised her, he went for a walk and when he got back the police were there she told them a story none if wich including the caked on blood on his head, so he was left with the choice do I tell the truth or go with what she said and save her kids, he saved her kids from being separated from there mom and being stuck in the cruel system of foster care(I've been in it it sucks) so now he is not allowed to own firearms, he doesn't particularly like firearms so I guess no harm no foul but it makes it so people who didn't do anything wrong can still enjoy the smell of burning powder. This got quite lengthy I apologize, oh another benefit of bp it's relatively kid friendly, great way to teach your kids responsibility and how to use a gun

No, guns won't stop the government. We should be allowed rpg's and tanks as well. That's the true spirit of the 2nd amendment.

Let's see a crazed kid try to take over a decently armed school.

Last week a teacher at my sons school allowed kids to pop baloons as part of a project. It caused a lot of panic!
Sad that my kid rhough it could be his day to die at school.

You have misrepresented the issue. No one is advocating arming all teachers.
And no one is saying mass shootings at schools or elsewhere can be absolutely prevented by anything.

The suggestion is that teachers already qualified to carry should be provided the option of, with a little extra training, carrying while on the job, instead of making schools a gun free zone---which invites attack. Vulnerability invites attack. That is why mass shooting always take place in gun free zones.

Your post is really ignorant.

Well I severely doubt the second amendment is going to be taken away but your argument here seems to be, "You aren't 100% guaranteed to survive with a gun, therefor even with a gun you'll 100% fail with a gun".

Faulty logic. I doubt anyone is saying there's absolutely no chance you'd fail with a gun, they're just saying they'd have more of a chance, which isn't false.

No one ever messed with Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry either. Hmmm....

Ah why not post the best scene ever -->

Eh, 'Murica!!!!

Imagine if you went to school and your teacher is packing heat. Wears spurs and a ten gallon hat too! Rides up on a palomino. There's sagebrush....tumbleweeds.....

(You're) killing me with (your) hate for the English (American) language. Until you can simply function and speak (your) mother tongue I shouldn't entertain (your) thoughts. But I will. No one is actually advocating arming teachers, that is a euphemism just like "Arming pilots". There are many flight marshals and they arguably have deterred criminal activity on planes. Armed trained security in schools could arguably do the same.

Obviously, enough people care because the guy's information is inaccurate. But you're right! People who don't read don't care because they're too fucking daft to care.

They were unarmed in that military base he attacked. You'll notice many of the shooters choose "no gun zones" when they pick their targeted places.

No, I don't think guns should be banned and you'll never see that happen. You'll never see gun violence or any sort of violence end any time soon no matter what we try. I think it's best to continue to have the right to own and carry guns.
There's more issues behind the whole topic. Mental issues, the upbringing or lack there of it and the list goes on.

I will question what kind of guns people can get their hands on. More questions need to be raised when someone wants to buy one. Also, there should be an entity that foresees how guns are sold. A certified dealer, not off the streets. Anyone who wants to get rid of their guns can sell to a dealer or hand over/sell to law enforcement.

I suppose you are aware the majority of aircraft shot down during the Vietnam war was brought down by small arms fire. Remind me again how well we did against a lesser equipped force.

Poster, you sound like a real coward. Anyways, somebody has to shoot back at these people to stop them, it's pretty simple logic. Giving your buddies wart infested cocks blow jobs won't quite do it. Yes, teachers should be armed, if they CHOOSE to be armed.

Like Obama said," the bring a knife you bring a gun."
He knows all

NRA saves / Margaret Sanger kills children with tax. Dollars.
You know those strange things that women have plop out, aka children.. Its not the object, its telling people. It is OK to kill children with abortion dehumanizing all of us in the. Na me. Progressive, sets a bad standard for evolution
