re: This is the ONLY answer to school shootings

67 dumb downvotes. My kids school has 2 policemen at all times. More during morning and afternoon when non students are picking up or dropping off. That’s how it should be and I’m fine arming others on staff that qualify to protect kids.

The American people refuse to pay the taxes necessary to support the government services we already have.

There is a solution but school boards and the populace wont vote for the bond required to make it work. Nettalon.com

How big is that private school? Because the school that got shot up was big. Over 1,000 students.

Probably. I was just stating that they have off duty police stationed at the school. It's not a 100% deterrent I'm sure. The kids are in different areas based on elementary, middle, HS.

I don’t think that is an impossible solution. But then people don’t want to see the militarization of a police force. Again, when I was in France, you’d see a 4 person police patrol walking down the streets with Paris, all equipped with fully automatic rifles. That can definitely counteract all these terroristic acts. But people who don’t want any more gun control laws also don’t want any additional militarization of the police. So then what do you do? Yeah, there should be better opportunities for mentally unstable people to get help....but the only way to do that is raise taxes to support that cost.

Uhhh.....the frick is this shite? This sounds like the most conspiracy shite I’ve ever heard. But you’ve been a huge advocate that this all comes down to mental health and shite. So let me ask you, are you okay with raising taxes so the government can pay for mentally ill people to get the treatment they need? You’ve been a huge advocate that it is all mental problems, and it’s not like these psychologist and psychiatrist are going to treat people for free. So if being mentally unstable is the only problem with the mass killings and the only way to prevent this in the future is them getting mental help, are you okay with the entire country footage my the bill for them to get the necessary help they need?

No. The government is ridiculously over bloated. It has enough money. It just spends it on unnecessary bureaucracy and outdated and archaic programs.

We need a massive overhaul of our federal government system.

Mass shootings are horrible but also a blip on the radar when compared to the gun deaths in our inner cities committed mostly by criminals with stolen or illegally obtained guns. We are focusing on the tragedies that pull at our heart strings and looking the other way at the biggest problem.

I’d love if there was some solution to fix all the gun violence, but there isn’t. But when it comes to inner city death, it is normally a lot of gang on gang violence. Of course there are exceptions. But inner city gun violence is a whole different ball game.

But this subject is about the mass killings we have in America. And they are much more frequent in the USA than any other country. And we aren’t doing anything to stop it. And looking at these school shootings, these children aren’t using assault rifles that were illegally obtained. They are either using guns that they obtained themselves or a family memeber obtained.

The sad part is, a lot of people on this board are unwilling to have a waiting time on obtaining an assault rifle because they believe it infringes on their basic rights as an american because they should be able to get a gun and get it now. But our constitution says nothing about that. In fact, if you think about the days when the made the constitution, a lot of them problem had to wait for their guns. Mass produced guns didnt come until 200 years later.

So it feels like from this thread, people want to do nothing about this problem. They don’t want any additional gun control laws because they feel it hurts their basic rights. However, I’m sure they don’t want more militarization of police to help prevent the his scenario. Or pay extra taxes to pay for more police and better weapons/gear. As well as I’m sure they don’t want to pay extra taxes that will help fund people getting the mental health help they need. So where is the solution then?
