    You're assuming teachers even want them. Are they gonna be paid extra for this?

    It would've been good if Parkland didn't happen at all.

    Same with the bombings in Austin. Unfortunately we do not live in a fantasy world.

    Except he did pull the trigger and the ONLY thing that saved his intended victims was that he was a bad shot.
    And since they don't know if the kid died from a self inflicted wound or the security guard's fire, I'm still going to call this one a 50/50 situation.

    He died before he shot the other two students? Is he a zombie?

    Sure.

    Parkland failed because the government and police failed to act on multiple crimes he committed, as well as a request by, ironically, Scot Peterson to have him committed. Not to mention the FBI tips and police who refused to enter the building. Massive governmental failure. They told the children the police would protect them, and they did not.

    The Birmingham shooting was successful because the metal detectors were not being used that day. Clearly if you feel you need metal detectors in a violent community you should probably use them. More government failure. I don't know much about the shooter, but I doubt we won't find even more failures there.

    CMU was a guy who shot his parents. That could have happened anywhere. The media doesn't seem very interested in this one, do they?

    Sandy Hook was yet another kid with mental problems that didn't get the help he needed, who killed his own parent to obtain weapons. Is there a law that fixes that? Maybe we could make murder of your parents double illegal?

    And it would be awesome if i could ride a unicorn to the mermaid park. Bad things happen. You can wish people were all stable and happy or you can safeguard against those you know aren't in a free constitutional republic.

    You point out one thing that is not true.

    Would you feel better if he would have been able to fire more shots? Looks like some folks are upset that more students were not shot.

    If Trump wanted his rallies to be gun friendly, he can do so.

    So for you or he or anyone to whine about gun-free zones, while Trump keeps one around himself, is the height of blazing hypocrisy. So go ahead and run away from this fact. Fine with me.

    Armed people always stop the shooters at some point.

    The question is how long do you want to wait for the armed response.

    No that's no hypocrisy.

    Hypocrisy is Bloombergs 17 man personal armed detachment that protects him while he tries to take away your firearms.

    Hypocrisy is British Parliament having guns to protect themselves, while telling the rest of the country they don't need guns for protection.

    No reason why it won't work every time provided the officer doesn't get shot.

    Yep, thanks for nothing, police.

    Or hospital failure. I'm sure hospitals have armed security guards, or am I wrong?

    That would help if they talked about this more.

    And a bunch of elementary school kids paid the price....

    Amazing.

    That would be the response of your typical liberal teacher though.

    "Why should I risk my own life?"

    "I'm going to get paid more to defend these kids, right?"

    Pathetic.

    Unless the shooter kills themselves.

    Ah, glad you brought that up.

    Trump only wants armed security guards to have guns around him, but want everyone else, including our kids, to be surrounded by guns in the hands of everyone.

    Maxine Waters only wants armed security guard to have guns around her, and wants no one else to have guns.

    No wonder these gun debates go nowhere. Everyone is a fricking hypocrite.


    When Trump makes his rallies gun-friendly and allows EVERYONE to carry, then I will believe his bullshit is sincere.

    Until then, his hypocrisy blazes away, a mile high.

    When we get to the point that everyone needs to be armed at all times that isn't a victory...

    TRUMP: 'I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools' my first day in the White House

    "I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools — you have to — and on military bases on my first day. It gets signed my first day," the Republican presidential front-runner told his supporters in Burlington, Vermont.

    "You know what a gun-free zone is to a sicko?" Trump asked. "That's bait."


    In that vein, gun-free Trump rallies are bait to a sicko. We need to make Trump rallies gun-friendly.

    I won't believe Trump is sincere until this happens.
