    Yet Democrats and Irish people who’ve never even set foot in the US and have no cultural appreciation of American society still argue that arming teachers with guns is a bad idea.
    Looking forward to watching them arguing their way around this classic example of the importance of guns in the hands of law abiding folk.
    Donald Trump has his finger on the pulse of America.

    @Jack McGready: Cultural appreciation of American society……………….lol

    I can Guarantee, seeing as he is only a child himself the shooter stole those guns from a “law abiding citizen” who had a permit and let them be accessible to a minor.
    mind boggling the amount of guns readily available in that country,
    almost one per head of population.

    @Jack McGready:

    Isn’t it odd that in the US, Banks, Government buildings and even Walmart has its own armed security and surveillance teams and yet the mention of Schools, teachers and students having the same protection in their place of work causes the Dems to have a meltdown.

    @Native: if there were armed security staff at schools and they were to intercept such attempted shooters then the dems wouldn’t be able to take out the 2nd amendment. Very easy to push an unarmed population around!!

    It is odd..but then again the current crop of Democrats have extremely odd personalities so in that respect it’s not really surprising.

    If trained gun holding teachers existed in schools these idiotic cowardly shooters would not only think twice about their SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL mindset , BUT for those that did persisted, they’re put down quicker then a response from local law enforcement. GO NRA!

    @DAVID EIRE: Screaming students running all over the place, bullets flying, why not add a few more into the mix. Sure they’ll hit something, hopefully the bad guy, and if not we’ll get bigger guns, maybe flamethrowers and grenade launchers? Give the bleeding principal a mortar, put him in a fortified position, and allow airstrikes. Ridiculous, the real solution is just too difficult for the corrupt lazy elites.

    @TheHeathen: Why do people call the police if a shooting incident is taking place? It’s so people who are trained to use firearms and who have firearms, will come and try to take out the shooter and save people. So you have no problem with trained gun users in that instance, why is it so ludicrous to think that you could also train and arm some teachers or at the very least, have some armed security. The police are not magic, they can’t be there all the time. As for your predictable, hysterical ranting about giving teachers grenades etc.. nobody is suggesting that and that kind of silly talk is decidedly unhelpful.

    @I like this cushion: Facetiousness is always lost on the dim. I have a problem with guns and schools are no places for guns. The solution is to remove guns from that society but that’s just too much work for the paid off elites. I’m not even going to start debating this with you as you are terribly slow witted and rather too red around the neck.
