Ontopic The Shooting Thread

I promise I'm intentionally being obtuse here, but what isn't practical?
Expecting teachers to do what trained officers struggle with? I'm sure there's a better solution.
It's not a bad start but what if teachers don't want to do it? Not every school is the same. I think we have to start with trained security guards, which I think most schools have these days.
A few teachers in each school could be part of a plan. But you can't require a teacher to do what trained police officers couldn't do. If people want to volunteer, so be it.
But Like I said, it doesn't sound like a practical solution to me.
 
Training at their own expense
Weapons at their own expense
For people that are sickeningly underpaid already?

And this. Unless it's funded by school taxes and whatever it's not going to happen. And what about smaller schools with smaller staff. What if none own a gun and don't want one.

It's different and a much easier choice when someone with a gun enters the classroom of an armed teacher. I don't think that anyone is suggesting that when it happens teachers create a phalanx and breach a classroom.

And again, totally optional. You're right. Maybe no one at the school will be armed. However, the shooters are now on notice that it's possible. I mean, the Buffalo shooter specifically chose an area with low gun ownership...
 
After schools, we still need to think about supermarkets, movie theaters, grocery stores, churches, etc, etc.
Trained guards could make a decent living and likely won't have to do anything since we never know where, when or if these nuts will show up at any given location.

Trained security would leave no doubt the school is armed. Let the teachers teach and the guards guard.
 
I find it incredibly sad that some schools want to arm teachers and have active shooter drills, but they can't talk about how sometimes kids have two dads.

fucking mind blowing right?

ok so if you knew your sons teacher was armed at school would you be ok with this?

obviously this shit would NEVER fly in canada ever. they’d build walls around the school before arming teachers

giving guns to teachers is just a gateway to allow everyone everywhere to carry guns at all times

insanity

Yes, more paid guards and less guns is the answer. But back in reality...

I know you don't like "What ifs" but you're basically saying What if we arm teachers. Well, what if a given school district doesn't want to? What if the teacher's union votes no.
