As an ex psychotherapist, I would like to say that people with psychological problems dont way up problems like, which school has the best security, before they go on a killing spree, they dont operate like that. They want revenge or to unleash their anger over whatever they have become focused on as their reason, for justifying their intent. The film and computer gaming industry de sensitize the emotional aspects of killing and the hero is always justified in his actions, and never suffers consequences or sees the emotional impact of them at the end of the film. Depending of what psychosis a person is suffering from they may not even have that ability to to connect emotionally with another being. Trumps lack of empathy for anything other than his own personal experiences is typical of a narcissistic sociopath, he may not have a gun, but he has a button, and if he could, he would have pushed it already to take out North Korea's president with total disregard for anyone else who would die as collateral damage and feel justified for doing it just because he wants to. People who have mental illness dont think like the majority of people because they operate in a different reality, and the majority of people cant understand that, because they don't operate in that individuals reality. If you arm the teachers the psychotics will still do the same thing but maybe up the stakes and use a bigger weapon of destruction that they can get hold of.Why dont they blow the schools up with Semtex or a grenade launcher...because its expensive and illegal and you cant get them without a lot of paper work and hassle. They use the best that they can get for the money they have and the least amount of hassle it takes.

You lost me when you started talking about video games. That's far from settled, in fact there are plenty of studies that demonstrate people aren't influenced one bit by video games. A person with psychosis would be a person with psychosis regardless of video games.

If your point is that people with psychosis will do the dirty deeds even if guns with massive fire power are unavailable to them, then facts again prove you are wrong. Countries with gun control laws have unstable people too and you don't see anywhere near the same number of mass killings by a different means that the US experiences with guns.

Also, the US dominates in other country's film entertainment markets and we don't see the same levels of violence we have here. There is something off in the US that makes more people commit violent acts. I'd like to see more work done to study this but our Republican Congress has made it virtually impossible for health agencies to study this phenomenon if the study includes gun violence, which makes up about 60% of the staggering rate of homicides in the US. Again the anti-science, pro gun Republican party is stifling intelligent positive action to reduce violence.

Gun control laws work. They don't prevent everything but they work as seen by reductions in harm overall. Arming teachers is dumb but not for the reason you give. Arming teachers just means more injuries and death by guns. It does mean more guns on the street, so NRA and gun industry wins.

We all knew an Adam Lanza or a Nikolas Cruz growing up in school it seems didn't we? There was always a kid or two here or there that made me wonder that's for sure. When enough red flags are up its time to do something.

I bet less or no people would have died if they had investigated and taken Nikolas' guns away the first time he was reported as being a possible school shooter. If he had to obtain a rifle illegally maybe it wouldn't have even happened....well not yet at least.

I know I wouldn't have sold a second hand AR to a guy lookin like that without at least alerting someone first lol.

Honestly though I wouldn't sell an AR to anyone wearing a maga hat.

Ban high cap MAGAzines lol.

guns are for killing; cars for transportation but can kill.

your post was pretty stupid even for this place.
What's stupid is guns are made for killing but cars kill more people still. But liberals cry about guns. Your point is moot. Goodday m8.

Death is everywhere, quit being a snowflake and live your life.

Other countries have comparable rates of vehicle deaths. No other nation has our weekly gun massacres though.

How long until you get banned again?

arming teachers is a stop gap, last gasp effort to "solve" a problem without doing fuck all about it. it's not any kind of "solution"...teachers are just as unstable as anyone else...why else are we seeing so many teachers having sex with their students? you expect these same fucked up people to protect our children? sounds like you're giving guns to the wolves to me
