THE Gun Thread

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

And what is the shooter doing during the 10-15 seconds the teacher is getting his smart gun out of the desk drawer?  Shooting the teacher.

Arming teachers seems like a self-defeating proposition. Once teachers are armed, it’s going to be known that teachers are armed. The shooter’s mindset is to kill as many people as possible, while the teacher’s mindset is to teach kids the capital of Bolivia. The shooter is prepped, amped, and ready to kill. The teacher isn’t. Shooter’s solution: kill the teacher first.

So more " roll over and enjoy it" eh?

Oh - and seeing you are unfamiliar with US schools - they rarely come with only one teacher.

It almost sounds like you are willing to let these monsters shoot kids - just so you can throw up your hands and call it a hopeless situation....

No, it’s emphatically NOT ‘roll over and enjoy it’. It’s the rejection of a monumentally stupid idea that has no chance whatsoever of saving lives. The Uvalde shooter barricaded himself in a classroom, which was were most of the shooting took place. How the fuck would arming multiple teachers have made a difference?

By even suggesting arming and training teachers, you’re tacitly admitting that these kinds of massacres will never, ever stop. Talk about ‘roll over and enjoy it.’
