It's another call the kids day, and remind them they are loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Murder-suicide. So nobody knew this for about two hours. Could you imagine if all the students were allowed to carry, running around looking for the actual shooter, armed to the teeth like most Republican law makers want. The local police and swat teams that arrived would've had an infinitely more complex problem on their hands with more people likely being killed.

They can't "get rid of them" down there. It's their culture and it's very unlikely to change much let alone disappear in our life time. So at the very least we have to accommodate them the best we can. Schools are always a hot topic here. I don't see why it's impractical to retrain vets to guard and patrol schools and universities. Train them to work in this type of environment, train to deescalate situations, and most importantly make sure they're mentally competent to hold such a position. This way they effectively deal with shooter situations probably the best way possible and they provide a huge number of jobs to men and women left in the gutter by their government.

When a Good Guy With a Gun encounters a Bad Guy With a Gun, they just cancel each other out. It's basic math, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 9mm Static Target, 16-20 feet, paper target sure. In a stress situation, even given a concealed carry permit, and trained like a fiend you are relying on luck, cover, and a bunch of variables. No training or how good you are if someone gets a drop on you, you're number is up. Our laws won't stop all incidents that happen. But whats obvious between the proportion of the population compared to the US things are better here. Our laws may not always make sense, and Bill S-223 was stupid. But on the whole it works. RIP for the victims. Hopefully psychologists can identify symptoms earlier to save lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bad guys/girls with guns knew tha a lot of the regular people were carrying, don't you believe that would make them think twice about shooting? I think it would, because several of the good people would draw and shoot the bad people. It would be suicide. They would not get away. Sure they would take out some targets, but they would be dead. That's a very strong deterrent. Trump suggested faculty should carry. Maybe we all should be trained as citizens to carry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a personal choice in assuming the responsibility of your own protection. Likewise, if someone were to carry it is also their responsibility to seek training and KEEP training as it's a perishable skill/behavior and needs to be practiced consistently. Yeah, I'd have to agree that knowing more people were armed could be a deterrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
