Ha!!! Out of all the absolute MADNESS in this thread comes a voice of REASON
"They" aren't interested....
No one is interested in what you say regarding what took place today. Why is the NRA even mentioned...why are guns even mentioned..Evil and Stupidity and Rage...should be mentioned-- Evil is more lethal than a bullet - the magazine of evil holds a billion rounds...We should address EVIL and not talk about "mental illness" or medications...or therapy. Some things are just plain evil and evil can enter and reside in a human being...how do we de-weaponize evil...That's what I want to know....I don't want to hear about gun control...I want to hear about evil control and how to deal with it- how to disarm it!
All facts and stats back me up. More people are accidently shot, or accidently shoot someone else, then ever use their gun to lawfully stop a crime. LOTS MORE
Let's look at the statistics in one of the strictest gun law cities in the country... Chicago.. It is a virtual killing field.
So, I'll turn the question around to you. Would you accept gun control laws if it meant an 86% reduction in murder?
No. We live in a free society, and we have to accept the fact that free societies are much less safe than police states. It's very sad when tragedies such as the one today occur, but that doesn't mean we hand in our human rights and ask father government to protect us from ourselves. Our sacrifice for freedom didn't stop when we won the battle at Yorktown. All of us have to be brave enough to go out into the world everyday and realize that we continue to pay the price for freedom. We can stand up, like men, and bravely go about our business, or we can succumb to fear and selfishness and trade in our liberty for a little more safety. In the year 1759, 17 years before our nation was even founded, Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Why is that? You read in papers or online all the time of 75 and 80 year old elderly people blasting away armed home intruders trying to assault them. I would bet that if one of these younger teachers had a gun that they could have had a strong chance at stopping this guy.
For the same reason you don't arm prison guards. You don't introduce weapons in schools were kids can get at them. For every mass shooting your theoretical armed teacher stopped. 100 would be killed in accidental shootings or spur of the moment fights involving kids.

In California we have either one or two sworn law enforcement officers on each and every High School and Middle School Campus and officers that monitor but aren't assigned to every Elementary School.....Arm non Law Enforcement I don't Think So....
