Arm the teachers

Yup. Back to Holla Forums with ye, pathetic little man.

I am a teacher. Damn straight I want a gun.

No, I don't. They might be depressed or suicidal sometiems, but Ive never seen evidence that most are.
Then why shoot up their school? They could shoot a police station, a mall, a theatre, etc… Plenty of bang to be had in easier places. Yet they don't, and I would agree, I don't think the goal is a kill count. I think a kill count may be a necessary part of a plan for some, but I don't think it is a goal in and of itself.
I think that a school shooter is, first and foremost, angry. What about sadness makes someone want to kill another? They are so sad about their lack of friends, their lack of meaning, purpose, that they wish to kill their fellow students? Perhaps they are sad, but that isn't why they shoot their classmates. They are angry at them. They hate them for being cruel, for not being them, for… It is unimportant. They have an opportunity to terrify and destroy the objects of their hatred. They take it, that's what I see.
They are avoiding punishment. They don't want jail time, so they kill themselves.
Threatening a shooter, someone with a goal of killing. This is different from threatening a suicidal person. The suicidal person isn't living anymore, so they don't care, but a shooter is committed to the shooting. They have one final goal before they take their exit. They don't want to get shot by some teacher; they want to shoot students unmolested. My thoughts, I have too many of them.

Holy shit I knew you commies were delusional but Hot Damn

can't you just buy one like everyone else?

...

Is that even a real quote, though?
Maybe he was talking about Poland or something, but Hitler has always been a shit-tier anti-gun-control argument. He literally loosened gun control for most of Germany, encouraged gun ownership, and was already sterilizing Jews years before he even restricted their (and communists') access to guns. His only moves towards gun control were against people who he was already officially an enemy to.

I don't trust teachers with guns - not in a position where they are in authority. This is the primary function of primary school teachers - a lot of them are genuine fucking idiots who would refuse to teach evolution at all if their job didn't depend on it. I didn't say most - but there's a fair chunk of teachers whose only qualification to teach anything is coming straight from the textbook, and who even then will pepper their classes with their own personal misinformation.

Teachers should absolutely have guns - they should be armed to fight the state. But this is a stupid, NRA-tier solution to school shootings, and reinforces arbitrary authority in school settings. Ultimately, it also means there will be more guns in schools and thusly more opportunity for some kind of gun violence to occur even if it offers some deterrent to mass shootings. The reason for this "guns to solve gun violence" stuff is simple - sell more guns.

Atlanta has surpassed Chicago in murder since Georgia got its "guns everywhere" law. And honestly, I was surprised - I didn't expect it to change so much, so this is a tad bit worse than I'd ever imagined. And maybe it's unrelated - I've never seen anyone else note this "coincidence." But if they really had it in mind to make our campuses and our city safer, they certainly failed.

But I think the union should militarize, sure.

You conveniently forgot the

part.

At least try harder than this, man.

Don't know, this just feels like a recipe for disaster.

Dont you have a school to shoot up there, little buddy?
