It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment but I’m sure a teacher with a weapon would have a better chance of shooting someone who’s shooting at kids than a copper who could be miles away. the cops shoot enough random folk innocently as it is, and they chose a job where they are meant to be armed and more than likely expect to use it imagine giving a teacher a gun sure they'd get training but fuck me be accidental deaths all over the show, in addition to when a mass shooter rocks up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 There are allegedly around 75M students in the US, if "only" around 500 a year are killed by these gunmen, perhaps that's seen as a low enough number by the Gun Lobby, to be deemed as acceptable enough for them to still be loons?!?! If it's an ongoing issue, and lets be honest they're never going to stop idiots getting guns, then perhaps they should spend money making the schools more like prisons - so they're nigh on impossible to break into (and out of). I remember seeing an interview once with a bloke who said it was his rite to have guns, and he used them for hunting. One of the guns he had, was some sort of assault rifle that could fire several hundred rounds a minute.....fuck knows what he's going hunting with that 😶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Wanderer Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 2 hours ago, royal white said: It seems some have already started arming themselves and why wouldn’t they 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t blame anyone in a crisis like this for arming themselves if it helps them feel safer. Not sure it does much when someone rocks up with a machine gun wearing a bullet proof vest though. Always the Republican argument is to arm yourself to the teeth as a response to gun violence. Absolute nonsense. Trumps solution was thick as pig shit, but that’s to be expected. The solution is banning guns. Boycott USA 2026 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked into it in a few places, it seems the insurance was way too expensive, so they dropped the idea. Also, off those that did it teacher's guns turn up in toilets, they took them off and then forgot to put them back on, they were found by guess who, kids.

Obviously that teacher is a bit of a clown, like numerous squaddies and policemen who have left their weapons hanging about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They managed in UK following Dunblane. My dad and a few of his mates used to go target shooting using licensed pistols. My dad had a Browning .22 automatic which had a magazine containing 10 bullets. The police officer responsible for firearm licensing just came round with a shit-load of documents outlining the level of compensation he’d receive and took the gun and ammunition away. I can’t remember the compensation but it was around half the value at the time. Imagine all that in USA. I’d guess they have no idea who holds what weapon. It’d need to be done as a voluntary gun amnesty so they’d probably collect a few thousand then Pat their own backs telling the world they listened and have reduced the number of guns on the streets.

Is it open to debate though, really? Ok, the guns handed in aren’t killing kids but for every gun handed back, I’d hate to guess how many aren’t handed back.
