If you put the bucket of rocks in front of the door preventing it from opening... shooting averted

It's a solid idea honestly. Gives the students a feeling of safety, albeit a false one.

Because if there is a shooting, nothing is going to stop it anyway.

If only there were some sort of mechanical device that could hurl lots of little rocks at an assailant at a very high speed.

But we should probably ban military grade assault rocks first.

Except, you know, guys with guns. Most shootings tend to end when the cops arrive.

Background checks seem to be pretty effective at stopping mass shootings too

America, the place where we ask for a solution to our children being murdered, and they literally arm the children with large rocks.

I've never been so disgusted with our country.

The weakness of background checks is that you can own a gun for 15 years, and the kids you had 10 years ago, well after you got the gun, will find it.

This is smart if you ask me

Shooters will think twice about going armed into a classroom if a bunch of stones are gonna be hurled at them

Being stoned is no joke, between the two I would take my chances with being shot

Which is why you want to decrease the amount of time before somebody with a gun gets there, such as having armed individuals on staff.

Uh, not really. A lot of mass shooters stole their guns from relatives. And the Columbine kids amassed an arsenal despite not being able to legally purchase any of that shit (and the friends who sold to them wound up going to jail for it)

America, the place where we ask the impossible and we're disappointed when we don't get it. After all, even in nations with complete gun bans, you have kids attacked and murdered in schools. And, quite frankly, by % of violence towards kids, mass shootings aren't a realistic concern in the least.

Wow, Mead really hates reefer.

There has never been a mass shooting which took out an entire school. That's more of a bomb or poison gas attack issue. When shooting starts, somebody *always* responds and the attack is cut short. However, it can cut shorter by having armed personnel on staff. If you have a security guard anyway (which a lot of schools do -- definitely most of the ones I attended), he should be packing a gun.

This isn't an opinion, places with stricter gun control have less gun violence on average. That's what every study shows.

That was a hypothesis, it was disproven.

Because this is a shittier version of thoughts and prayers, fucking literal rocks.

If the move is meant to make people angry, I hope it's working.

Ever had someone throw a large rock at you? Im talking overhanded, with intent to harm.

Imagine a whole classroom of that. Gun violence is a complex issue and it needs a lot of different solutions from different sides to tackle the many facets of the problem.

Encouraging people to fight back when there is an attacker is one of many good ideas.

It's not so much the idea that makes me angry, it's the fact that we're pushed to this.

Lol whats this going to do?
They act like theyre going to be attacked next week or even at all.
No ones ever going to shoot up their school, then the rocks sit there for ever.
Then the students get bored and throw them at windows.

The first time a bully or a bullied picks up a rock and hurls it at another student, the rocks will go back outside.
