No need to arm guards / teachers or get rid of the 2nd amendment. Just stop the false flag attacks.

On reflection, yes, youre probably right.

Imagine the furore a (innocent) kid getting shot by an armed teacher would provoke. A massive propaganda coo for the anti gun lobby. Politicians, media pundits, etc. would milk that for all it's worth, as they already do with the mass shootings.

I'm sure they wouldn't engineer such a situation though, you know, those hell bent on strict gun control. They wouldn't do that.

Er, here's a revolutionary thought....how about we actually look at why kids are being shot?

Who would have possibly thought that having firearms leads to shooting? Call me Mr Controversial but how about making it a tad more difficult to attain a gun than a box of fireworks?

It's radical but you know, perhaps bringing the firearms legislature in line with Western Europe?.....where surprisingly enough we don't witness such regular mass shootings Crazy

But maybe you speak a lot of sense. Educators should be trained marksmen too. Perhaps parents could also help by popping a little hand grenade in the childs lunch box too. Better to be safe than sorry and all that.

charwell there are guns hundreds of thousands of them in America, that is something that has to be looked at in the long term
Now that is the reality

In China they had no guns, knives and cleavers and they had a series of attacks in kindergarden and primary schools, fatalaties and terrible injuries
That was the reality then and after an attack  the Chinese decided to put security into schools throughout the country

Now that is what should be done in America, now, because that is the reality now
So stop talking nonsense about how it might be , that will not protect any schoolchildren if there is an attack tomorrow, they will be defenceless
