I'm a teacher. I cannot tell you how many times I have looked at my classroom and thought "how would I react in case of an active shooter? Would I be quick? Would I freeze? How would I protect kids when I am a woman and 5 feet tall to top it off. How do I leave kids behind if they are hit? Is this window by my desk a weak spot in my class" There are many more of those questions. I have had other jobs. I never had these thoughts before. I am tired of the active shooter drills, the training, the videos, having to think about barricating doors, using tables as shields, and having to look around the classroom for possible weapons to defend ourselves. That is not something kids and teachers should have yearly trainings on, but we do. Would I try to defend my kids, absolutely. But, that isn't normal. No, one exit wouldn't work, no you should not arm the teachers, we are educators. Cops on campus have not worked in many cases, and we don't need more religion on campus. We need roofs, books, chairs, materials, more emotional support for our kids, we need more supplies for homeless kids, and programs to better engage our boys and girls. Turning a school into a war zone with bullet proof tapestries and shock glass or whatever sounds like the dumbest thing I ever heard. Please remember schools are for education and our kids need to feel safe while learning and not feel like they can get shot at any minute.

@@leob_v2 I couldn't tell if you were joking or not, but if you weren't, I think it's important for it to come to your attention that about 50% of school shootings are caused by students. All your doing is arming the shooter, and giving them easier access to guns. Giving teachers or students guns is basically just asking for more shootings. And the permission forms that come with that are insane. There would be many parents who wouldn't allow their child to so much as hold a gun, for reasons such as mental health problems, or just gun-phobia. And making sure that those students don't get there hands on the guns is a whole other issue. All together, giving kids easy access to so much as a pistol when in school is a terrible idea, especially after considering the increasing depression rates among the younger population, as well as the increased tension and stress of just having that many firearms near someone and the temptation to just pick one up and shoot would all just make it a crisis and a half.

Just a quick note on the whole "one way in" policy. Ignoring for the moment that it makes it easier for a shooter to prevent escape and creates nightmare scenarios for the fire department, right now every school I've ever been too only ever has 1 Door that students can enter anyways. There are other doors, but they all require a special key to open from the outside and automatically lock after they close. The main entrance is usually locked and is unlocked electronically by administrators once they verify who is entering. Yet we still have shootings. Thus the "one entry" policy is already a failure.

I mean, I don't necessarily disagree with having a school security officer stationed at the schools, mainly because I had one who was really there to break up fights, do any drug searches, etc. But my thing is, if Republicans really believe that this is a mental health issue rather than a gun issue, why don't they put forth legislation to increase funding for mental health services at schools so these kids can go to someone and talk with, hopefully working out their issues/problems before they escalate into violence. But Republican never do, they blame the mental health of these shooters but then don't do anything to prevent the next one. #DoSomething

Here is a brief history, showing everything you need to know about Gun Control and a short argument for less of it. In the 1934 The (National Firearms Act) was passed. To help combat the Italian and Irish Mobs, but also made the purchase of many high power Firearms harder to get for the average person. In 1968 The (Gun Control Act) was passed, which built upon the previous act and further restricted Firearms. In 1986 Ronald Regan signed The (Firearms Owners Protection Act) into effect. Which made all full auto rifles, which were wrongly called machine guns. From being sold to people who didn't have a special licence for it and thousands of dollars to spend. In 1990-91 the (Gun-Free School Zones Act) was passed. Making it a crime to bring a loaded firearm to any school. In 1993 the National Instant Criminal Background Check System or (NICS). Was created by the (Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act). And launched by the (FBI) in 1998 to help with the problems, of selling firearms to a criminal or a non licensed person. This is used every time a Firearms purchase is made in the U.S. by a fully licensed dealer. which includes gun ranges, sporting goods store and yes even gun shows, since only licensed dealers can sell at a gun show. In 1994 Joe Biden who was speaker of the house at the time. Headed, Introduced and passed with Clinton's signature. The (Federal Assault Weapons Ban), which lasted for 10 years. By the way an (Assault Weapon) doesn't have a clear definition, so people can lie and call whatever they want an (Assault Weapon). I would like to note that, none of these laws/acts stopped the (Columbine) shooting of 1999. Since then dozens of other so called (Common Sense Gun Laws) have been passed; by local, state & federal branches. Which upon further research and a bit of critical thinking, at least half make no sense if not all. Yet mass shootings and school shootings continued and still happen to this day. The history, data and dare I say the science, is clear and suggests that inacting more gun laws doesn't work and won't work, to stop these mad men from committing more atrocities in the future. The only ones who follow these laws to the letter are law abiding citizens, who already own guns. Also hypothetically speaking even if all guns were banned, these psychos and other criminals. Would still find ways to hurt innocent people, whether it be by obtaining a firearm illegally, use of explosives, motor vehicles, chemicals, knives, blunt object, the list goes on. These horrific acts will still happen, therefore we don't need more gun control, we've been there and done that. so please stop advocating for policies that won't work! Or else you are following the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result each time.

Everything they do is aimed at maintaining a status quo and they'll say and do anything for it. They don't care if what they say is correct or if it helps, just as long as it disrupts any constructive discussion that can help us forward. Whine, whine, whine and do nothing except make things worse for everyone. And it's a natural thing to want comfort and to find that in what you know; it's how our brains work: the more you do, see, hear, or taste something, the easier and more familiar it is. It's just not always helpful to give in to it. A little self awareness goes a long way. I would love to be optimistic and say people are becoming more aware, but I don't see it ever becoming the norm it needs to be to stop us from racing to our own extinction.

It just makes me wonder the entitlement we have to make kids walk into such dangerous environments and put so much unrealistic expectations on teachers. We don’t put on ourselves, our government, politics, or police. I always wondered if the frequency of school shootings or mass shootings happened just as frequently in your home/ neighborhood/ workplace would we find a national gun registry, red flag systems, and a whole government office focused on connecting state resources. The lack of communication is what conciliation is what truly showing how we keep lowering our expectations and standards for each other. How can you expect the kids to feel safe or alright.

If it makes you feel better to think that the NRA is some shadow organization that owns Republican politicians, go for it. But it’s not that simple. The vast majority of Republican voters are against a gun ban, and if Republicans politicians want to get re-elected, they’d be out of their mind to suggest such a thing

I didn't really see any debunking here. I just saw you joking about extremist views that most people don't agree with, claiming it's this largely accepted view within the gun owner community, and then trying to use empathy as if it is factual. Myself, someone who wants to own a gun, and friends who I have spoken to who already own firearms, agree something needs to be done. But what we don't agree with is lazily contructed blanket solutions that only cover the surface of what the issue is. Every aspect needs to be looked at: The fire arms, the importance of mental health within society, the school system. All of that plays a part. Just because you take away the guns doesn't mean you'll solve the issue of students wanting to harm their fellow students. They will find a way, with or without guns. That's why we need to focus on the other two portions of the issue.

I served several tours in Iraq as a Marine Infantryman, and all that that entails. I am now a Social Studies teacher in Washington. Every time I hear the argument of arming teachers I think of which teachers it would be that they'd arm first, and I understand that reasoning. I know how I react under fire...with other Marines watching my back. Not hundreds of scared kids running around or a classroom of them locked in with me. I start thinking of all the scenarios that could easily go wrong in those moments. Perhaps, selfishly, I also think of myself. Why should I be called upon to risk my life as if I were still a Marine Infantryman, as a teacher? How many of those kids' parents are super pro-2nd Amendment, and have helped create the environment I now need to risk my life for? That won't matter though because its not the kid's fault. I don't know, if or when the time comes I like the rest will do what needs to be done, America will mourn, and then move on again.

When I was in school in the early 90s. It was a rural town of about 5000 people. Some students would hunt before and after school and check their gun in the office and pick it up at the end of the day. No problems ever became of it.

Guns are pretty restricted in NYC and Chicago. In these cities the gun problem is under control. There are very few shooting and the law made by officials work well. Gun controll works well. Biden is very experienced and has done great things in 40 years. I just can't name one.

It probably won't change much. I don't think a civilized country should have that many armed citizens, but i think that is just a tiny piece of what makes it a problem in the US. As much as Trevor is right when he points out other countries where people don't attend church and they don't have school shootings, countries where they play violent video games and they don't have school shootings, he forgets that there also are countries where they have lots of unregulated access to guns but they still don't have school shootings like in the US. Several asian countries, several central and south american countries, several african countries where it is not very complicated to get a gun and a lot of people own one, still no school shootings.

I'm a European that lived in America, and I think there are two things that are gonna be hard to change in the US but need to be changed. First, the "bubble" effect. SO MANY of the arguments against gun regulations can be countered by "look at other countries", but too many US americans just do not have any idea of what's happening outside of america. Second, the whole idea that the gouvernment is out to get you. I think a lot of US americans think that they need big assault rifles in order to be able to overpower the police/military if needed. In switzerland, people get a gun after mandatory military services when they have proven to be responsible and disciplined. But a lot of US americans want the guns without the responsibility because they see the responsibilty as a threat to their freedom by the government.

This country is twisted and full of hate. There is no bubble. We had a “President” that normalized racism, bigotry and under-education. It will take years, decades, to undo what that’s done. How we’ve set our children’s children back many years. Really glad you’ve got a tourist’s opinion though! Please, inform us further as to how we can achieve your perfect elitist society?

@@KnightofNi1888 That's the point. The "elites" or "powers that be" or whatever you want to call them are doing their damndest to dumb down the masses and destroy our country from within. Trump's appointee as Secretary of Education did more for that agenda than any of his myriad other disastrous appointees. Going to be really hard to recover from all the damage done.

"We said bang, you're dead!" Straight from the Uvalde PD's handbook for dealing with active shooter situations apparently. "We kept saying 'Bang, you're dead! No take backs!' but he wouldn't listen! And he kept using a REAL GUN!!!! That's not fair!!!"

i mean even that would be more than what they actually did (saying bang you're dead to the shooter would actually require them to get close to him and not cower outside the school and we all know those "officer" are incable of that)

Most people don’t believe that you can purchase security by giving up your rights. If your not happy with the outcome is not a purchase you can return… You can’t just give up something and hope to get something in return. Do you also think if you sacrifice something to the gods you will be rewarded in turn? Give it up and the rains will come… let’s stop acting like you can buy security with anything other than being prepared and trained.

Every child over the age of four should be trained in hand-to-hand combat and gunmanship and equipped with an automatic weapon and a backpack that converts into body armour. And every school entrance should be covered with remotely-operated machine gun nests with overlapping field of fire. And school busses should be armoured and fitted with a turret. And teachers should only be hired from a pool of retired Navy SEALs or equivalent special forces. And, most importantly of all, every one of those politicians who take the gun lobby bribes should have to survive a trial by combat with those heavily armed kids.
