This is one of the better comments I could find relating to the recent school shooting, saying that wider societal problems are also a factor, but obviously the machine that pushes metal really fast through the air and into people's bodies may also be a factor.
Mostly the comments are just a merry-go-round of misery.
- is that the best you have read? really?fadein11
- Yep, just because it makes some sense to me. Don't see much changing anytime soon though.PhanLo
- Sound and reasonable argument right there, it's sad that that's among the better comments and not just the baseline.ben_
- it's like what i've been saying since the thread started. except the part about us not needing AR-15s, i never said thatimbecile
- the side issues are a given in any demented neo-lib society, the issue is arming the nutjobs with military grade weapons surely?fadein11

Routine handgun injuries leave entry and exit wounds and linear tracks through the victim's body that are roughly the size of the bullet. If the bullet does not directly hit something crucial like the heart or the aorta, and they do not bleed to death before being transported to our care at a trauma center, chances are, we can save the victim.
With an AR-15, the shooter does not have to be particularly accurate. The victim does not have to be unlucky. If a victim takes a direct hit to the liver from an AR-15, the damage is far graver than that of a simple handgun shot injury. Handgun injuries to the liver are generally survivable unless the bullet hits the main blood supply to the liver. An AR-15 bullet wound to the middle of the liver would cause so much bleeding that the patient would likely never make it to a trauma center to receive our care.
- isn't that just related to caliber? a 357 to the liver would blow a hole the size of a melon out the other sideGnash
- Some kids were shot as man as 9 times.monospaced
- Anyone wanting to own a gun, should instead of a background test, take a bullet to the ass, of the caliber similar to the weapon they want to buy.shapesalad
- Then you'll see gun ownership drop. aAnd guns being tiny wimpy little bb gun style things.shapesalad
- Here's an AR Round in action. Pray it doesn't hit a bone or anything vital. https://www.youtube.…ben_

Trump Appears To Read From The NRA's Script Hours After The Gun Lobby Chief's Speech

so a deputy who was hired to protect these kids never set foot in the building to help them while they were being mowed down ..
but lets arm the teachers.- The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. So now we just need a good guy test.ben_
- Like it should be no shock to anyone that the only time cops step up and shoot a suspect is when they're unarmed.ben_
- maybe if there was an armed guard to threaten the armed guard with a gun in case the armed guard wants to run awayGuyFawkes
- just in case that armed guard wont threaten the armed guard we just use armed guards all the way downGuyFawkes
- I love how the NRA nuts think that anyone can shoot in a high stress situation like John Wayne in a western movie or Bruce Willis in Die Hard.fooler
- somewhere there's a video of a practice situation with a gunman bursting into a room, the "good guy with the gun" shoots himself in the foot trying tohans_glib
- get his gun out its holster...
:/hans_glib - Was that the cop in the classroom, giving a gun demonstration to high-schoolers?detritus
- there's usually a cop at any public high school at any time, if I remember correctlymonospaced

The issue of gun violence in America isn’t just school shootings.
A teacher with a gun wouldn’t have saved:
Vegas: a concert
Orlando: a nightclub
Sutherland Springs: a church
Aurora: a movie theater
Gabby Giffords: a parking lot
Trayvon Martin: a neighborhood
Mike Brown: a cop

You just know it'll be the red faced, mulleted, perma-tracksuited PE / gym teacher who's first in line for weapons training at every school.
It took me about 2 seconds to decide which of my high school teachers would be most likely to want a gun on school premises. And he's genuinely in prison for sex crimes.

- Well, for what it's worth, he's not in prison for shooting anyone.GM278
- (sorry, I couldn't help myself)GM278
- The fuck are you talking about?!?!? There will never be teachers armed in schools. Stop entertaining this retarded idea. Please.monospaced
- But you’re right. In the dumbfuck fiction that is this scenario, no doubt it would be th dumbfuck you described first in line.monospaced

- Someone with malicious intent: "Oh, I was going to shoot the place up but...well...gosh darnit... you have a sign."GM278
- sign is there from the building that was rented, not the renters. signs are so prominent due to the renter's presence. praise the hostimbecile
- I'm just as put off by "America's best christian" title. but she has a extremely valid pointmugwart
- she has no point. the speakers didn't make the no gun sign, the venue did. the venue doesn't want the speaker's guns. how hard is this to understand?imbecile
- so many private businesses have this right, the right to refuse guns. but when hosting a pro-gun crowd, the venue needed to make it's point loud and clear.imbecile

Just posting this in response to Mono saying: "There will never be teachers armed in schools. Stop entertaining this retarded idea."
Monospaced, sadly, never say never....

Note, I'm NOT a fan of this at all. Teachers should be teachers not law enforcement. (I do understand why it has been implemented in a rural town without a dedicated police department, though.)
- gun carrying teachers = safer schools is a false equivalence.dorf
- There never will be mandated firearms for teachers in schools. That's retarded. This independent district in Texas is also being retarded.monospaced
- Thanks for sharing.monospaced

nice summary...
- 100% agreeGM278
- An even more unpopular opinion...guns are definitely the problem but none of the gun control measures they are talking about will really help that much.yuekit
