Sort of off topic but not really. I read that one of the teachers went on a smoke break and propped open a back door which is how the shooter got in. Assuming the smoke break never happened and the shooter had to go through the front would that have changed anything?

-Invest more in mental health care programs for kids -take threats more seriously and have them punishable. Including online/ social media -21 and older to buy a gun. Stricter background checks, government ID and longer time to process, including mental health evaluation. Selling to minors punishable and can have license revoked -selling assault, automated weapons and body armor subject to stricter background checks -quarterly or bi annual intruder drills for teachers and kids to prepare -armed security guards/police -making classrooms more bullet proof, especially windows and doors armed teachers is a last resort but if needed... --- Less is more.

Why do we assume teachers even want to be armed to the teeth?

There are still so many issues with arming teachers. How many teachers want to be armed? How many want to bring a gun into their classrooms?

In an ideal world the answer would just be to ban all guns. Not even police should have them imo. Organized crime that is to the level of needing guns even in a gun free society would be handled by FBI or military. In our world I think just banning certain types of guns and making all guns significantly harder to get is a more realistic solution. It should be at least as hard to get a gun as it is to get a driver's license. Ideally the license would require a background check, mental health evaluation in addition to a written and practical exam. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny.

One thing that would help is stop the selling/purchasing of guns at gun shows and flea markets. Yeah, there's other ways to obtain them, sure. It's not just that that is a problem, it's how easily accessible they are to anyone. --- Last Cloudia ID: 188850453 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Back in the day, you had to carry a gun basically no matter who you were because back then they didn't have cell phones and cars or forensics or security cameras or any of the really advanced technology and knowledge we use to protect ourselves today. War was always right around the corner, literally. The laws weren't as fair. Actually monitoring people was next to impossible in most cases. There was exponentially more crime to worry about. Etc. If the military showed up back then, it was pretty much just with rifles and a few cannons. They'd set up and dig trenches. Guns were their entire world. Guns and strong walls and scouts and lookouts. Before guns, it was basically just you and your knife or a spear. How many men you had was pretty much the deciding factor in a fight unless you created special projectiles or armor or had particularly well trained troops in conjunction with sizable numbers. Nowadays? The country is guarded by satellites and automated defense systems with lasers and sleep gas. You practically don't need soldiers or cops or a personal sidearm to deal with most of the stuff you'd be worried about shooting a couple hundred years ago. In the real world, on the streets of a first world country in a major city, in the modern era, there are very few situations which can be solved with a gun. As a result, have less people started carrying guns? And has this contributed to the sense that a mass shooter could even attempt something like this without getting killed before he can pull the trigger, basically ... Copied to Clipboard!

Off the top of my head? Start with a firearm license. Getting the licence in the first place will require a psychiatric evalution. That evaluation is only valid for one year. Reform the education system so that red flag behavior is properly documented and reported. Reform our mental health systems so that people who exhibit red flag behavior can get proper intervention before they commit a crime. Hold gun owners responsible when their weapons are used in mass shootings. If your gun is lost/stolen it needs to be reported within a certain timeframe or you're on the hook for crimes committed with it. Idk --- Lusa Cfaad Taydr ... Copied to Clipboard!
