So we are going to still pay the cops....wow. That certainly is a revolutionary idea that will stop all gun violence. It's worked well so far. I guess there were no cops in the various cities lunatics went crazy in. Shame on those cities for not having a police force.....oh wait... They did have cops. What they did not have was an armed adult to kill the crazy person.
Correction*
They didn't have an armed adult
who happened to have prognostic powers and the ability to be anywhere in the area they are patrolling in the blink of an eye to kill the crazy person.
And to that, I'm actually disappointed that none of the money is going into researching fortune telling and teleportation.
This shit cracks me up. Put a couple of armed adults on the premises like these individuals can be all places at once and can actually respond before shots are fired. It might come as a surprise but these guys don't wear signs giving away their intent, most of the time they just kind of spring the attack on people. I wonder how many people can be shot before a response arrived. I wonder if the response would arrive in time to actually shoot the guy before he shot himself. Because that's what many of these guys do, they fucking kill themselves which kind of makes the whole idea that guns on the premises would be a deterrent flat out bullshit. They don't fucking care if they die, many are planning on it.
I wonder what the employment add would read..........
"Wanted: Meat Shield/Bullet Magnet. Local school needs individuals willing to rush blindly and without regard to personal safety or the safety of those around them into a classroom occupied by a lunatic with a gun hell bent on shooting anything that moves. Salary DOE, must pass background check and drug test."
You think anyone is gonna charge into a room with a gunman in there? At best we're talking about containing this individual to the classroom he is in which is a pretty shitty consolation prize.
Look, if your best-case plan is geared towards responding to and engaging in a gun fight instead of preventing the gunfight, your best-case plan is fucked.
Oh and did I mention these people are fucking crazy and plan on dying? They have some of those in the middle east and many of them have perfected a technique that may be referred to as "self detonation". We can only hope that the great deterrent of guns on the premisses doesn't offer a challenge to these nutjobs to step their game up. What would follow, bomb squads on the premises?
I think it's interesting that when a group of terrorists stormed some airplanes with box knives and crashed into the WTC buildings that the suggested route wasn't to arm stewardesses with box knives. Seems instead we at least made an attempt to prevent such shit from even happening all together by forcing people to show up to the airport a few hours early and examining nude body scans of all the passengers.
Also interesting that all the people advocating for guns in schools haven't really been in the public spotlight advocating the arming of inner-city residents in order to combate the ridiculous amounts of violent crime and gun-related deaths in their communities.
