Thoughts and prayers for the families in Florida

If less guns isn't going to be an option, than teachers with a good reputation within the education sector carrying at school might be an option yes.

[Jack Teach]

Ah, no. Just no. In order to purchase any kind of weapon, extensive background checks re required. Meaning that if they're is any chance of them turning into killers, they wouldn't get guns. Also, most of thes mass shootings take place in gun-free zones, so removing people's guns won't do anything. And before you say anything, most crimes that involve guns are committed with pistols, fists kill more people, knives kill more people. The USA has this problem because gun free zones are still a thing

But you can't do away with gun-free zones either. Schools shouldn't be allowing guns. Yes if guns were allowed, people could defend themselves. But it's still a school full of kids. Unpredictable.

Have it be allowed for security to own guns. Of course admittedly it would be tough to find people qualified to own guns willing to work as security in a school, but I think at least big schools should be able to. And I recall a test was actually done a while back, where a group of kids were left in a room alone with an unloaded gun that was barely hidden. The kids who found it whose parents were largely anti-gun played with it, while pro gun parent's kids stayed the hell away and avoided it-because the pro gun parents taught their kids that guns are NOT toys. Give children proper education on guns and most will know not to touch or play with them.

Okay but seriously, can we all stop the gun discussion now, or move it elsewhere. This thread was made to pay respects and give our thoughts to the poor families in Florida who lost loved ones, and its honestly rather rude and shameful that its been derailed like it has.

But security to own guns isn't going to solve it either. Because you won't have armed security in every classroom, or every hallway.
I work as armed security, you'd have to have an army. Unless you allow armed security + armed teachers.

You're right. May the lord forgive them all.

No you wouldn't. Strategically placed teachers and staff with firearms would be way more than enough. Additionally, implementation of security doors and protocols would limit the ability of a shooter from entering the building or isolate them from the rest of the school. I work in security and have served in the military. You wouldn't need an army.

Yes it is.

Amen

[Captain Savage]

This is seriously frustrating. I am saddened for the families affected by this tragedy

[OG Deadking]

Well, It feels like school shootings are becoming normal. I am wondering, what is with my generation and doing things like this.

Sorry for anyone who lost anyone in the shooting, may good show blessings on you.
