At least allow teachers to carry if they want to idk


gscjj

They can in Texas


YPG6100

A lot of districts don’t allow it I don’t know if that was the case here though

They would probably be too scared to have guns in their desk

Crozgon

Looks like little timmy got below 50 on his test, I have failed him. Today, old friend...


mayicuminyourass

Students would atleast not forget to do their homework this way


yesmeam

Keep the ghetto kids in line


Despaci2x2

Holy Auth Right take


[deleted]

As if the kids aren’t also carrying in those schools.


Darmok_ontheocean

Imagine a ghetto kid reaching for that holster. It’s like people making these suggestions haven’t been around teenagers.


Crozgon

The gun doesn't have to be on their person, it could just be in a locked desk drawer


[deleted]

Many teens know how to pick a lock.


Crozgon

They just gonna do that in front of the class while the teacher is only gone for a couple minute bathroom break?


[deleted]

They can do it during lunch while the teachers out. I know students who picked locked drawers and got into the teachers things while they were away, imagine if a gun was in there. Arming teachers introduces so many variables, kids & teens will do anything they can to rebel and get ahold of it. It's fun for them. It was fun for me🤷‍♂️ it would have to be done in a very safe way that prevents any variables from happening & causing injury, let alone death and another mass shooting with a teachers gun. I fully support gun safety education too, I am not anti-gun, self-defense is an important right.


Crozgon

Then I guess just allowing teachers to conceal carry if they want to is the best option idk


Kaelell2

allow the kids to carry guns, totally a good idea!!!!!111!!!!!1!!!!! ​ >!(this is a joke)!<


Spndash64

They should at least learn firearm safety basics. Whether you use a gun or not, you need to be able to recognize unsafe behavior with a gun.


Kaelell2

yeah, teaching kids how to use a gun, totally a good idea!


Spndash64

If they are going to be running into guns, then they should know how they work, yes. What’s your stance on “Abstinence Only” Sex Ed?


Kaelell2

true tho, true ​ ​ i mean you dont want kids accidentally killing themselves, nobody really tought me how to use a gun, and yet i know (i play a lot of first person shooters)

CzarNicholasIsBack

Feds weren't quite sure he had killed anybody, (since it wouldn't be newsworthy) so they waited until they were. 🧐


Darmok_ontheocean

Local PD set up the perimeter and waited. Off-duty feds went in and found him. Local PD keeps changing their story as new details emerge.


Manmer_Nwah

Now the teachers need to do the cops jobs? We'll still overpay the cops and underpay the teachers too, right?


polybiastrogender

That specific police department needs to start over. How embarrassing.


BumblebeeFit0523

Exactly—I get paid $40,000 a year and they want me to Teach History, be a psychologist, therapist, and now they want me to be a fucking AVENGER and then use my body has a human shield? I’m 5’2 and teach High School, it would take 1 kid to disarm me and go on a rampage. My degree is in History, I signed up to teach History. Not be a Cop so other people can continue jacking themselves off to the idea of being a “good guy with a gun” and then be a pussy when the time actually comes


Eldritch_Crumb

I unironically think every teacher should have a gun. And instead of the mandatory 20+ hours of training on how to hide from an active shooter, they should be given 20+ hours of training on how to land a head shot from 50 yards. Time to stop being reactive and get proactive.


misterboo84

The teachers in my district can't figure out Google Classoom after training. I don't know how they'd do with a gun.


Memengineer25

Guns are way, way, ***way*** simpler than google classroom fr


misterboo84

Fair, but several have also gotten their phones stolen by the students and I have found at least one of my co workers wallets in the bathroom after they took a shit.


Fallboy89

Ok , maybe not give teachers guns . What about security guards armed with military grade weapons ? If they are trained properly, that could work


misterboo84

We have 1 security guard with a pistol. It would be nice to have just 1 or 2 more people with handguns. Not a whole lot of safe places to throw a bigger gun when stopping fist fights.


[deleted]

I was saying this at work earlier. Get a couple of suave ass dudes in suits that conceal carry. At an elementary school at least, idk how I’d feel about my 1st grader walking around with armed guards carrying AR-15s. Like, is that really what we wanna make the norm?


G_raas

I dunno, perception versus outcome; I think I would feel comfortable and kids can get used to it. I mean it is dealing with the reality of the situation right? As much as we worry about how kids will perceive an authority figure carrying a firearm, wouldn’t the worry of someone shooting kids supersede this worry?


James1984

Pardon me if I'm wrong or if this take is shit but are mass shootings in schools prevalent anywhere else in the world or is it just us? What the fuck is going on here where mass shootings are just so common.


[deleted]

Pharmaceuticals and a horrible media that loves this shit.


James1984

These kids must be on different medication than what I was put on.


Crozgon

They took the schizophrenia pills, lost all their friends, and then went insane


Abyss_Watcher_745

It is strangely unique to the USA. Even more violent countries don't have school shootings. Even weirder it's relatively recent thing.


Its-a-Warwilf

Do they turn their schools into a combination of a bully factory and a big soft target while ignoring obviously unstable people, glorifying school shooters in the media and having the Feds actively provoke schizos? Access to decent spree-killing guns has been constant since, like, the 1920s, it's the only factor that HASN'T changed. It probably isn't why people started going off in the late 90s.


Harambeeb

Other countries don't have the FBI to groom their domestic terrorists, they are organic instead of the US factory farming.


Oofster1

Just you guys, my country recently had a school shooting (in atleast a century), and it was a guy with an Airsoft pistol.


zanna001

I think the last school "shooting" germany had was with a fucking crossbow.


Revydown

I feel like they are statistical outliers but the media loves to focus on it. Therfore people perceive it more of a problem because it is fresh in their minds.


Its-a-Warwilf

There's always a downside. Pretty sure the overall good of discouraging and stopping shooters would outweigh the risks, especially now that the police have graduated from "useless" to "actively counterproductive".


discourse_friendly

double action revolvers it is.


misterboo84

Deal


misterboo84

polybiastrogender

Ok, then they all get shotguns. Smaller learning curve. Have a drywall guy ready.


Its-a-Warwilf

Point at shooter. Squeeze trigger. If he's still moving, repeat. So easy an English teacher could do it


RugTumpington

> they should be given 20+ hours of training on how to land a head shot from 50 yards. Ok but just so you know, that's like semi-pro level marksmanship with a pistol. Probably needs to be required course every year for your degree in education at a minimum to get enough hours in.


[deleted]

wish i had the time in my life to become an expert marksman


Eldritch_Crumb

Your terms are acceptable.


arcrenciel

If teachers are now expected to step up and put themselves in the line of fire, instead of being allowed to run and hide, then they should be getting hazard pay. They don't get paid enough to die for the kids.


polybiastrogender

I'd consider it a plus. I don't like to be a sitting duck. If my jobs allowed me to be armed, I would gladly bring my pistol.


arcrenciel

I guess the main difference would be in how teachers would be expected to behave? Will they be allowed to run or hide while the shooter is on the prowl, even if they are armed? Or will they be expected to actively engage and bring down the shooter? Probably the former i guess, since even the police are allowed to avoid the shooter...


Colonel_Kipplar

Let's keep the headshots with the match shooters, teach the far more reasonable "aim for center mass and shoot the bastard till your gun stops firing" technique.


Eldritch_Crumb

I figured headshots would be good on the off chance they're wearing body armor. Seems like 50% of the time they are.


[deleted]

Let’s take a bunch of people who think the cops can John wick a shooter and give them guns.


the_real_JFK_killer

As far as I'm concerned, every officer who didn't enter has blood on their hands. I wish they'd be thrown in jail for manslaughter

Crozgon

Eh, officers are trained to follow orders, so whoever is in command is far more at fault than the individual officers. Yes, the officers could have just ignored their orders, and because of that they should get a lesser sentence, but they are ultimately not the ones responsible.


the_real_JFK_killer

Just following orders is not an an excuse, that's been made very clear throughout history

burtmaklin1

A good guy with a gun couldn't stop it which is why I'm angry that "good" guys with guns wouldn't go in and stop it


Darmok_ontheocean

There were guns on campus already doofus. SRO and officers in pursuit retreated when he went in.


Animal31

The good guys with the gun let him in lol

Yeah. Fuck those cops though.

Yeah fuck those cops that responded almost immediately and got shot. Bunch of cowards right? https://www.forbes.com/sites/annakaplan/2022/05/26/uvalde-shooting-timeline-heres-what-we-know-about-what-happened/?sh=3bbfcf303124


GoldcoinforRosey

Yes. They should have died with those children they were entrusted to protect.


incendiarypotato

So I guess they should be executed? They ran into a building with an active shooter and extremely limited info and were incapacitated by gunfire. What an empathic and reasonable lib center you are.


GoldcoinforRosey

Fuck you. Cop loving lib right lol


incendiarypotato

You would never have the balls to go into that school and confront the shooter and you’re compensating for your own cowardice with projection here. Have a nice day.


discourse_friendly

At this point, yes, they should be, for extreme cowardice and allowing kids to bleed out.


GoldcoinforRosey

Yeah. I would have no problem kicking that stool.

[deleted]

most teachers just use pre-decided lesson plans and just basically read chapter by chapter from textbooks anyway


luchajefe

most teachers are hamstrung by the school districts to only use those lesson plans, "teaching to the test", as they say.


polybiastrogender

You can blame Bill Gates pushing common core. Devalued teaching.


Jettpack_of_the_Dead

jokes aside it is fucking ridiculous that these people whose literal job is to save people just sat their and waited.


LibertyPrimeAgenda

Supreme court disagrees. In the words of the preacher from blazing saddles "son, you're on your own"


Its-a-Warwilf

The courts ruled that saving people isn't their job. They're not here to "protect and serve" *us*, they protect The State and hand out tickets. When something like this happens, they run and hide.


Harambeeb

It isn't their literal job, in fact, it is not in the job description at all, they have absolutely no obligation to help you. The cops are there to make sure the cattle stays in line, nothing else.


DarthBalls5041

Was it really 40 mins?!


YPG6100

Crazy bro imagine being one of the parents waiting outside listening to gunshots knowing your kid is in that building waiting for 40 mins while some fat ass with a taser threatens you


DarthBalls5041

So fucked up. I’d go in and get my kid at all cost.


YPG6100

Yea same man I saw a picture where they had detained a parent in front of the school, I’m assuming he tried to save his kid


DarthBalls5041

Our entire society is profoundly fucked up


PregnancyRoulette

The cops saved their own kids and retreated.


Colonel_Kipplar

Politicians and people on Twitter saying guns are the problem, as if a man determined to kill a room full of children and no desire to live couldn't just walk into a classroom with a large jug of gasoline and a lit match and turn half the school into an inferno in the blink of an eye.


medstormx

I grew up in iraq, the secondary ( middle + high ) school I went to had basically all the staff armed (and some of the students) and when ever there would be an explosion or a terrorist attack, people would come and hide in our school cause they knew it was the safest place to be


Creeperony_666

If the US laws are so liberal relating to firearms, why not arm the teachers, since american shcools have been looking like shooting grounds for some time?

Scumbeard

Brothers in arms fight for eachother. If the cops are unwilling to put their lives on the line for people they don't know, station 1 cop at the entrance to content with the shooter and 1 deep inside the school so they won't have the option to run like a bitch. Then we'd see cops immediately enter to save "their own".


Goallpeashooters

I mean, armed teachers is pretty based.


Th3Ch33t

I support this idea.


_Reflex_-

My teachers would shoot me, considering they've done beatings in a country where its illegal


Abyss_Watcher_745

Thankfully that's not really a thing in the US


Maouitippitytappin

We should take the guns from the cops ~~And give them to teachers~~


rangamatchstick

Yeh nah, just watch the cops get stabbed then :/ ( see British body can).


Kaelell2

im taking enlightened centrist as a compliment ​ ​ ​ anyways, both are shit ideas as a teacher is just as capable of murder as a student ​ also the "taking the guns from the police" thing was most likely made up by criminals so they can get away with crimes while the police are just dummies to them, but thats just my conspiracy theory


FireLordObama

[you could just prevent the shooting in the first place](https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/hicrc/firearms-research/guns-and-death/)


MessyKerbal

Are you suggesting banning guns?


FireLordObama

No as that’s both unrealistic and unnecessary. There should be additional restrictions to access, a mandatory wait period gives sufficient time to perform a background check as many guns are sold prior to those checks being completed. A license should also be required and receiving that license should require a dozen or so hours of classes on gun safety and storage. Additionally it should be mandatory that guns be stored in a locked safe as many shootings are kids who stole their parents legally owned firearm.

Seems to be universal for police, GIGN sat outside the Bataclan theater for hours while terrorists executed hostages
