It would be kind of interesting if someone would suggest tasers for teachers. I suspect their reactions would be interesting and quite telling.

How do Multiple Victim Public Shooters Decide Where to Attack?

Basically an armed defender (“good guy/gal ”) is the only thing stopping these nuts (other than when/unless they kill themselves)
I think a bill to allow teachers who volunteer to go through defensive handgun training would be great to allow qualified staff to be armed. We already trust teachers with our kids all day, do we not? Conversly, if we cannot trust them with a gun, why trust them with our kids?
First of all let me say, Gohmert 2016.
Seondly, I see tasers and mace as the best immediate remedy. All classrooms could have this and if teachers or principals hear shots they can attack from all sides.
I’m also big on a panic button with a recognizable alarm in the school and automatic police notification. Teachers hear that and have mace or tasers they know to prepare.
Instead of the tired gun control response why don’t these liberals offer some real solutions that can happen right now. Maybe even take some of Big Bird’s bonus and fund it.

How about if they change the protocol from locking yourself in a room to gathering with other teachers and rushing the attacker? This shooter had to reload 5-6 times, and we all know the hit ratios, so it’s unlikely a group of teachers would have been stopped. Give the teachers kevlar to make it even less risky.
We need the equivalent of air marshalls inside schools. Some teachers and administrators are secretly trained and armed.
I would prefer an AR-15, chambered for 7.62 * 39 mm, with a 20” barrel, a laser and a large clip.
I would feel comfortable taking a narrow shot in a crowd with this weapon and have more hitting power with the bigger round.
There is no reason why there shouldn’t or couldn’t be auxillary police offices at every public school.
At a minimum, Speaker of the House.
Yeah for Gohmert. He was the only one that voted again the Congressional bill removing “lunatic” from the words that we can use to describe our current Congressmen. Guess the truth hit too close to home for the other 400+ that voted for it.
Do you mean an AR10 maybe?
Someone posted this over at DU. They are absolutely falling down and foaming at the mouth over the thoughts of an armed teacher.
Whether we want people in theaters, shopping malls and schools armed is a moot point; they are there and they kill people.
The question to be asked is ‘Do we want the killers to be the only people armed?’
In Aurora 12 people were killed and 58 wounded. Had one other person been armed in the theater the number of killed and wounded could have been drastically reduced to a number counted on one hand.
The key to solving any problem is asking the correct questions. The correct question is ‘Do we want the crazed killers to be the only ones armed?’
I agree with the sentiment, but the 5.65 NATO cartridge is capable of more penetration than might be wise in a school. How about a shotgun with #1 or #2 buckshot?
Same with Huffpo.

I’ll take Dem’s seriously on gun control when they have to hang for the same crimes we do.
He should lose his job ,have a criminal record and be barred from public service.
U.S. Murders: All 13,636; Hands and Feet 801; Assault Rifles: less than 348
The FBI murder statistics do not differentiate between types of rifles. There are about 100 million rifles in the United States. In 2009, the last year in which numbers have been reported, there were 13,636 murders. Guns were used to murder 9,146 people. Hands and feet were used to murder 801 people. Blunt objects were used to murder 611 people. Rifles were used to murder 348 people, and that is all rifles, of which assault rifles are only a small fraction. Assault rifles are used so infrequently in homicides that many police departments almost never see them; in 2009, there were nine states that did not have a single murder committed with any rifle.
So why is the left so intent on banning rifles that are the most suitable for militia use (clearly protected by the U.S. Constitution), when they are used so rarely in murder?
That is an excellent idea. Why maintain separate facilities when municipalities can combine them and get the side benefit of on-site security?
