“Banning gun-free zones and allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons could help eliminate mass shootings at schools”

No kidding....

Teachers have to be armed here, just like they are armed in Israel. Every teacher in Israel carries a gun, its the norm over there and no one makes a fuss..yes Israel its a different way of life but they are protecting themselves in the exact same way we should be protecting ourselves here

Most teachers are liberals who faint at the sight of a gun. IMHO, tt would be better to hire retired policemen and military types who know their way around firearms to protect the kids.

I’d settle for opening back up the mental institutions and locking all the crazy people up like they should be.

Custodians should be trained and armed. Teachers should have that same option.

Exactly. However, being the truthful, right answer, the liberal left is going to have extreme difficulty with this one.

Also, seems like a lot of the mass shooting involve caucasians shooting caucasians. I haven't read too many stories of Blacks or Hispanics shooting their own for what seems like no reason. The only exception would be the killings in Mexico. However, most of that is drug-trafficking related, isn't it?

The Israelis have us all beat to hell on keeping terrorists off airplanes and keeping school kids safe. Maybe someday we’ll wake up.

I have great respect for John Lott as a researcher, but I doubt seriously that mass killers are focussed on their postmortem fame. That is facile and unlike the kind of motivation that energizes ultimate aggression. These people are in another world by the time they get around to their fate. "What people will think after I'm gone" is not a big deal for them.

The fact is, mass killing is rare. We can't have perfection in this world. Arming teachers is not a bad idea, but it will be very disappointing when it fails to deter or stop aggression.

BAN THESE DRUGS

http://www.ssristories.com/

These facts are known by the politicians.

These side effects have been acknowledged by the drug companies.

One begins to wonder if the fascists in our gov’t - who know the first step in taking over a country is the necessity of stripping citizens of their guns - didn't go to the drug companies and make a deal to develop these drugs - for this purpose. The fact that these gun-controllers, from the president on down, were loud and clear in demanding gun-control, using this tragedy for their agenda, while those little bodies were still in that school speaks volumes!

Yes, such evil exists. It operates on such high levels because decent people can't conceive of such raw evil.
We need to acknowledge it.

We need to let our politicians and media KNOW we know - and know THEY know - and demand they answer us individually.

BAN THESE DRUGS...and those that demand gun-control. They are even more dangerous.

When I remember the teachers I had . . .

With exceptions I can count on one hand, I really would not entrust them with sharp scissors.

Just as people should have the right to carry weapons they should also have the right not to.
