Many more Americans believe that mass shootings result from inadequate mental health care than those who think lax gun laws are to blame, according to a new poll from ABC News and the Washington Post.

Apparently pornography is a more danger to public health than semi-automatic weapons in the US.

On Tuesday, a hundred students arrived who survived last week's school shooting to Florida's state capital Tallahassee. They went there to meet politicians on Wednesday and talk about the need for stricter weapons laws.
That same day, state politicians voted down a proposal to debate a ban on semi-automatic weapons by a large majority. 36 voted for and 71 against, according to CNN.
Later, they voted on a proposal from the Republican Ross Spano to classify pornography as a danger to public health.

Yes. It is far better to show a super slow mo of a bullet ripping through a body on the big screen that a flash of nipple.

The mental health profession does not have the knowledge to screen out most mass murderers. One has to exhibit gross psychotic behavior to gain their attention and most of these killers did not meet that criteria.

....If a potential “sicko shooter” knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won’t go there...problem solved.

Or perhaps not:)

I will be strongly pushing Comprehensive Background Checks with an emphasis on Mental Health. Raise age to 21 and end sale of Bump Stocks! Congress is in a mood to finally do something on this issue - I hope!

The handful of mass murdering sicko's are capable of anything and for any reason.
Yep so no point in arming teachers. The 20% that would be armed can never reach the 80% that are unarmed & teaching their students within a reasonable time to prevent fatalities.

So as said, what shyte from those who should know better!

2 thoughts on arming teachers:
A teacher armed with a hand gun is at a severe disadvantage in a gun fight with a semiautomatic rifle. This would be teachercide.
The other is when LEO enters the scene and finds an armed adult, the teacher is in grave danger of getting shot by the cop.

The same could be said about almost all victims of murder, armed robbery and rape before the Police arrive.

The question is not if some incidents could be either prevented or the amount of victims reduced. A very good goal, which no moral or ethical person would be against.

But as a person who has been involved in much too many life and death situations in the Military and Police Force. Leaving aside for the moment an individual's right to defend themselves.

Those advocating arming, giving authority and responsibility to defend many others. Who have neither completed a Police Academy, nor afterwards, under supervision of a Training Officer for perhaps a year after graduation. Have no understanding of the terrifying difficulties, in the seconds involved, in making correct life and death decisions.
Thanks for agreeing with most comments on this thread.

Rather than continuously blabber on about the constitution & the right to bear arms which even non-Americans on these boards are now fully aware from those posts of yours, you have to agree that SAW's are best not in civilian hands.

Inside the USA. The Constitution, Law and Political Realities, are central to this discussion.

Foreign wishes and beliefs, which are welcomed, will have no effect inside the USA.
Yep we know, hence the dismal 2 months of 2018 has shown.

What is needed is a clarification of your 2nd amendment rather that drastic changes.

2 words are all that needs clarifying: Bear Arms.

A rifle or handgun is an arm.

The right to have both is the right to bear arms. Anything else should be in the realm of law enforcement/military & that should be stated. Problem resolved.

Easy when common sense prevails..

Since most Americans believe in "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" includes handguns, shotguns and semi-automatic rifles.

I do understand that non-americans do not understand that fact.

See the difference in our cultures and beliefs?
Is that belief actually stated in the constitution or clarified within the 2nd amendment?

As for our differences, a few posts up did you not relate to your experience in the military & police? Can you as a retired teacher with such knowledge & experience of these matters not realise a sensible solution/viewpoint without ramming your belief in your constitution down our throats?

BTW, it ha been brought to our attention that we refrain from mentioning your occupations. However, seeing as you posted valid comments on such occupations leaving your posts open to replies. If you do not want to see such replies, then you should also refrain from mentioning your previous occupations.

The youth of today is tomorrow's future. Having them massacred while attending school to assist that future, all the while seeing their current lords & masters as well the majority of Americans having an unhealthy belief in just 2 words in a constitution is a most dangerous chicken that will one day, come home to roost.
