Imagine the possibility for no one would need a gun and schools was safe as it is in other countries except yours.Just imagine if Staff had guns. Less people would've died.

I need a gun to defend myself from lunatics like that school shooter. It's not that simple.Imagine the possibility for no one would need a gun and schools was safe as it is in other countries except yours.
I've asked this so many fucking times and no one's graced me with an answer; what happens when eitherJust imagine if Staff had guns. Less people would've died.
I don't need a gun to defend me from lunatics. Try to go a self defense course?I need a gun to defend myself from lunatics like that school shooter. It's not that simple.
Let's talk about the staff member that jumped in front of students to take shots from the school shooter. If he had a gun, it would've ended right there. I don't get why you're against Staff being properly trained when we have so many school shootings. You're part of the problem if you think we should have Gun-Free Zones cause that's where most people die from gun violence.I've asked this so many fucking times and no one's graced me with an answer; what happens when either
a) staff go off the wall and shoot up a school with their school-issued gun, or
b) staff try to take down a would-be shooter and instead escalate the situation, and/or kids get in the crossfire
I would say YOU are a part of the problem. If the guy never had a gun to begin with, this most likely wouldn't have happened. Just look once again at Australia. All I hear is people defending stuff, stuff we can live without.Let's talk about the staff member that jumped in front of students to take shots from the school shooter.

Oh I totally agree. If you prosecute the owner of the gun as well as the person who committed the crime, I guarantee we would see a lot higher gun safety practices and lower suicide rates/child living at home committing shootingsOften these kids use their family members weapons. Start holding parents accountable and see how often stuff like this happens.
Staff should be properly trained to handle disaster situations, but they should never have firearms unless they're security. That's a disaster waiting to happen for so many reasonsLet's talk about the staff member that jumped in front of students to take shots from the school shooter.

To continue off of that metaphor: eventually something's going to cave in. We're just going have to see whether it will be the head or the steel doorBut to beg and plead for our government to ban guns is basically to bash our heads against a reinforced steel door, hoping we can force it open.

If that's what you think will be best in the long run, more power to you, and I hope no hard feelings between us. I thought it'd be best to post that here, though, because Chicago's gun problem always inevitably comes up in these conversations and I figured it'd be good to show that it isn't like that EVERYWHERE with strict gun lawsWell then I redact my question and henceforth withdraw myself from this thread. Good day.

To be honest my first reaction, being at work, was sadness for victims and their families
..but also a slight rolling of the eyes at the whole gun thing over on that side of the pond. The gun thing cannot be addressed so easily I admit - one can't simply wave a magic wand and make that whole complete balls up of an idea go away....
But the rolling eyes disappeared quickly when I got home and found out the weapon was an AK15?? Just what in the name of fuck are weapons like that doing in the hands of the US public?! My mind is just fukkin boggled, semi automatics available freely?! I mean of course the common stereotype for Americans is you're all a bit stupid yeah? In the same way as every Brit has hardly any teeth? You all kick off when the rest of the world calls you thick, but.... y'know? 19 year old kid walking into a high school with a semi automatic, for the umpteenth time? Come on lads, anyone still defending the gun issue here - get a grip...
Must be taught right now. carry on!This happened 10 minutes away from my house so ya, scary shit
Or that abortion should be illegalUsually the people who are against gun control laws because the black market won't be affected are also the same that say that Trump's wall will be very useful against illegal immigration.

Stab it all the way until the center of Earth.That's even funnier when you think about all the coyotes that get illegal immigrants in the US by diging tunnels. How a wall is supposed to stop that?
