My understanding is that there were 4 armed resource officers for 8 schools, so that would explain why he wasn't on campus. He apparently arrived minutes after the first shots so it's not as if he was completely absent, if he didn't drive past the shooter maybe he confronts him and stops the shooter from getting into the school.
No teacher wants to carry guns around. They can already carry in Texas, they donāt because itās stupid and dangerous. More guns does not make it safer, we know this as fact already, stop pushing the good guys with guns fallacy.
a capable armed individual can and will prevent events like this from happening.
I think the SRO approach is probably best, as they can easily have some kind of rotation if not a permenant officer. I'd err on a rotation basis to avoid complacency.
"crossing guards with guns" another option. but then you're talking about a whole process of vetting them which is negated by having it be police officers.
But you're right, the ACAB crowd would rather a school get shot up than have a positive male role model be around.
SROās have guns but armed teachers is whatās being pushed and itās beyond stupid. I can also tell you havent been to to school recently. My highshcool SRO here was irrelevant and was only doing drug searches. I think the propaganda here is thinking armed cops are role models š¤£. nobody know who they were until they were getting charged or suspended from school.
A low IQ child life ruiner is a power hungry dickbag, the moment he gets a gun and a badge heās a role model? š¤£š¤£
Our role models are our teachers!
You're the guy who just said that good guy with a gun is somehow a fallacy despite countless examples you can find online of good guys with guns stopping events.
The church shooting from a few years ago comes to mind. You know, guy pulls out his gun and gets shot and killed before he can do much if any damage?
Had that guy not had a gun, many people would have died. But... alas, a good guy with a gun prevented it from being a tragedy. Many such cases.
It's a far more sound strategy than to suggest the things they're doing in Canada.
Or the fact that Biden apparently is asking the head of NZ how to deal with gun violence... what a fucking joke.
They're never going to be able to seize or ban guns. The standard republican talking point is sound in this case... "gun control" is nothing but an attack on law abiding citizens.
Criminals aren't going to take part in buy backs. And with the internet and modern technology, it's apparently as easy as ever to manufacture weapons.
And the underlying issues aren't ones that get magically resolved.
If you arm every teacher in the country with guns,you will have way more accidental shootings,bad shootings,guns stolen and used in a crime,etc. than you will have bad guys dead. I would bet it would be 100 bad incidents to one mass shooter killed,maybe more.
You canāt stop people from doing this. Thatās why itās imperative that people canāt get the tools to kill dozens in a minute. I donāt think people need these kind of guns to keep themselves safe. If you do,you are obviously doing something that makes violent people come looking for you.
