That’s my point. Priorities need to be set. Good for you, you gave people healthcare which debatably wasn’t even that great but people are still dying in the streets in absurdly high numbers
Oh yeah, its basically a giant shooting range there.
Since some black people got shot by the cops escalating the situation(sometimes, they ARE the situation, sometimes they cant understand instructions), all black now gotta hate cops and want them abolished. But when someone they care about gets murdered, they want some fucking justice but no cops are around. So what do they do? Keep killing each other.
I'm honestly losing hope in the black community.
It’s a terrible idea. We don’t need more people shooting around students even if they are on the same side as the students. Giving the teachers better defensive capabilities is a good idea but not guns.
Then what would you define as defensive capabailities? You don’t bring knives to a gun fight. Fight fire with fire. If you start abolishing gun free zones and allow law abiding citizens to carry guns in public, there will already be less shootings because no place will be safe for a shooter because they won’t know who is and isn’t armed. And if a shooting does happen the shooter can be neutralized fairly quickly before killing many innocent people. The police have a decently quick response time usually but they aren’t super heroes. Having a gun in the immediate area is the best way to stop a shooter.
Also I’m not an idiot I’m well aware that healthcare isn’t just for injuries from the violence. I just meant I think the high rate of murders is more important to be dealt with than healthcare. Saving lives is higher on my priority list. I wish everyone could afford healthcare don’t get me wrong I just think it’s lower on the priority list.
" we don't need more people shooting around students "
Not the teachers. Nothings stopping them now from bringing a gun and mass killing, just like nothing is stopping the other students. But letting them have a gun in case something happens is a good idea to at least try ?
And while trained guards would be better, schools can hardly afford books and keeping from falling apart. Guards just aren't a realistic expense they can make.
Guards are ideal yes, but then any potential shooter would know exactly who is armed. And as diyrogue said, guards are an extra expense that many schools may not be able to afford. Many teachers are probably already gun owners and might even have a concealed carry permit.
You could have a class for teachers to get some sorta school defense license to train them to defend a class room and make having a carry license a prerequisite
Teachers aren’t qualified to fire weapons in a combat situation around non-combatants. Police have to train full time and even they make mistakes.
The best answer I’ve heard to the question of gun alternatives is fire extinguishers. Put one in every room by the door. Protocol is if there is an active shooter the teacher closes their room door and prepare the FE. If someone opens the door they blast them (not a trivial experience) and bludgeon them if need be. This will make the shooter far less effective until professionals can arrive to neutralize the threat.
What if they aren’t in the classroom you ask? I assume arming teachers involves the guns being securely stored in the classroom so it shouldn’t make much of a difference for that point.
Actually many teachers may already be qualified to properly handle and shoot firearms in a high stress situation and if they aren’t there are many training programs available that could be made prerequisites. I don’t disagree that fire extinguishers are a good idea. In fact I agree that every room should be equipped with one. My school had a fire in our woodshop room that unfortunately the fire extinguisher wasn’t able to put out and it left a portion of the school closed for about 2 weeks. And it is a great defense against attackers in close range. I just feel like arming HIGHLY qualified teachers on top of that would be very useful.
The number of people who agree that healthcare is mostly for gunshots and that giving teachers gun is ok just shows that y’all are stupid no wonder Trump won
None of us agreed that healthcare is mostly for gunshot wounds? That was never actually mentioned. Gunshot wounds are covered under healthcare if that’s what you meant. And stupidity is thinking people with bad intentions will stop shooting up schools because we decide to outlaw guns that are already in circulation. Fight fire with fire. And Trump won because Hillary was the worst possible candidate for the democrats and Americans were sick of corrupt career politicians. Trump is no angel but Hillary is genuinely corrupt.
Well they’ve been trying to prove it with the Russia investigation and haven’t found a single bit of evidence against him so yeah I’d say he’s not all too corrupt. Even if he were corrupt, which honestly for all I know he could be but I personally don’t believe he is, Hillary is far more corrupt than him for a handful of scandals she’s been involved with.
Yes but the congressional hearings are public, and if there were evidence the democrats would do anything in their power to get Trump out of office so they wouldn’t cover up stuff they’ve found.
Everything in their power liiiiiiiiike...wait for the investigation to conclude so that they'd have as much ammunition as possible to do so? ;) No point in giving him any advance notice about what they've found.
In what trial has that ever been the procedure? When you find evidence you present it. Withholding evidence and lying to Congress saying you’ve got nothing would be a crime.
*whoosh* I had no idea you spoke for the entire community.
I'm glad you waited an entire hour to let me know, rather than perhaps engage in conversation. If the subject is too complicated to get into, I understand, but how about we not bullshit each other, ok, champ?

*edited because I spelled trial "trail", like a doof.
Wow. You should see how many weeks back I go before I hit "All" again.
