How do we stop mass School shootings?

[suicune]

I personally believe that arming teachers is a bad idea, given the quality of teachers we have, especially in high risk public schools. Some of these teachers are mentally unfit themselves.

But I also believe that having a couple or more well trained armed personnel would deter some of these mentally unstable youngsters going into a school and killing folks. You must have a deterrent in place first.

you really can't "deter" mentally unstable people. They got no fear that's why they're mentally unstable.

I wouldn't go as far as "arming all teachers" but I will say that the removal of school property as a restriction zone or covered with the 30.06 sign which prohibits a LICENSED person to carry their CONCEALED firearm onto the property would be greatly effective. Also the removal of Employers prohibiting their CHL'ed employees from possessing a CONCEALED firearm.

This is what I meant by armed teachers. Those that are able to attain a chl.

Well you really can't reason it like that. Pick and choose examples isn't a good technique as people can always use it against you.
South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan all have absolute gun control law, no citizens are allowed to have it. So IL doesn't have the harshest laws against guns, it's the countries like those three do. There were never mass shooting at a school or a public place in these countries.

Just saying, no pun intended.

LoL, where they lacked the availability of a firearm they made up with "crazy".

obtaining a CHL is like.... defensive driving , more of a paperwork thing to me, it's not adequate.

I was just responding to Cichlidfarm for saying this place have this law therefore this didn't happen... well....

If the mom, Lanza's first victim, was armed... then the tragedy wouldn't have happened.... Oh... wait.. oh the drama

This is true but then again only those that are law abiding would bother, correct?

How to get a driver license:
- beg someone brave enough to teach you how to drive
- endure screaming, name calling from that person
- get up in the morning and wait at the DMV for at least half a day to set up an driving test
- go to the driving test and get failed by a mean lady
- reschedule the test and take it again
- pass it but must wait another half day to get your license

==========>even then, there are still tons of crazy drivers on the road.

That's why CHL is inadequate in my view.

Flawed argument, she couldn't kill her own mentally ill child even when her life was at stake.

She's already did for letting him reach that stage. I don't believe the mom is not responsible for her son's condition.

no, they're white gurls doing make up while driving

No but you can deter mentally unstable kids grabbing their mom's gun and running off to the nearest elementary school. There are situations you can't prevent but if that kid knew there would be armed personnel ready to neutralize any armed threat at that school, chances are he would have at least thought twice about going, and if he still did, hasta la vista baby.

If you're noticing all these other folks doing their makeup in their cars, then you are a bad-driving Azn

Didn't say she wasn't responsible. What I'm saying is that she couldn't shoot him dead even if she wanted to when her own life was at stake.

I work with mentally ill people everyday, when they go on a roll they don't think
