I’m thinking of arming my grandsons...
Sad part is we now live in a society that puts more effort into offsetting responsibility than research into root cause and real solutions. Many will blame the inanimate objects while thinking they have the solution.
Wash, rinse and repeat.
My general premise is that removing personal responsibility and consequences from kids lives is the overall catalyst for much of these types of acts.
Every state in the union already has safe gun storage laws.
Turning parents into felons because babycakes steals the key to the gun cabinet goes against every aspect of addressing the issue in my opinion.
Not being argumentative but how do ya figure?
Im not for removing any accountability from Jr.
If dad locked up the piece yesterday Jr couldn't have shot up the school.
For all we know he just handed the piece over.
If baby cake stole the gun - charge the kid.
If you raise then empower a little killer - you should be on the hook.
If dad knew he'd be charged along with Junior do you think he'd have paid a little more attention to securing the weapon?
That’s a little more detailed than your original suggestion.
But as a 2nd proponent I will never be a fan of stricter laws concerning a piece of steel and plastic.
Now, if dad is found negligible and in violation of state laws that’s a different conversation...but is still a SECONDARY conversation with little to no relation to motive or action.
Isn't there an argument to be made that those laws are already on the books with aiding and abetting? If pops handed the gun over to the kid, pretty clearly falls under aiding and abetting IMOSuch is the problem with forum conversation. It would go 1000X faster at a campfire.
As another 2A proponent I ask myself what can we do to make the criminals accountable without punishing the law abiders?
Its a seriously difficult task.

Oh here, allow me to edit this comment just a smidgen.
" Teachers can legally own a gun, why not force them to properly be able to handle a gun that they could defend a child with someday, by being forced by circumstances to shoot another child ? "
This is NOT what teachers signed up for. Just training somebody how to use a gun, does not train them to shoot another human, let alone a young person.
In one scenario, teacher is armed, physically superior student who feels he has nothing to lose for whatever reason, confronts the nice teacher, forcing her to either shoot him before he gets his hands on her, or face being disarmed and now the student has your weapon.

Exactly, I honestly feel like these guys have been turned into Cucks by Society, and have NO interest to chase pussy or be a Type A male. Its happening to this guy I know, his "kid" is 32 years old now, never fucked, has no desire to leave his room or phone, stays home and jacks off all day. My buddy and I (its his brothers kid) are like, "Peter, tell your kid to go and chase some ass, ride a dirtbike, something......!!!!" He just ignores us.We live in a weird world.....
Think back to how hard it was to be a dork or nerd in junior high or highschool without getting attention from females in the 80's and 90's and multiply that by a million with social media. Now turn on the news where all you hear about is how shitty the world is. Now throw in asshole parents or a divorce situation and little johnny absolutely hates this world and has nothing to loose and goes bonkers.
These kids that have these issues aren't hanging out with great parents at the lake in there new nordic or riding in the dirt with the family in the rzr. Parents are doing a shit job.
Media is reporting that the kid had posted on social media pics of him target practicing with the gun/targets and making statements about a planned attack.
If true Dad's going in the cell next to him...
I believe there's many steps involved in attempting to minimize campus shootings. I don't think there's a singular solution and I realize you're not stating there. However, I disagree that you can force educators, or anybody else for that matter, to become proficient in shooting and most of all, force them to take the life of a student or anybody for that matter.What is your solution? I can’t wait to edit it a smidgen for you.

99% of my goals in life were because I wanted to bang prime puss. I wanted to make money so that I can continue to bang hot puss all thru life. I stayed out of trouble becuase Jail means less time I can be out dipping my wick! It all goes hand in hand. It still is this way 47 years old for me. I have friends that havent banged their wives in 10 years. Ummm no thanks! Thats the way to an early check out!!!
Test these guys for low testerone. I guarantee you will be amazed at results. They are being feminized!

But solve it, we will never solve it, especially in a country with the freedoms we enjoy, hopefully we can find a number of ways to reduce it.
Notice I'm taking exception to your use of the word FORCE, some teachers might volunteer.
Do you personally think it's that easy to look somebody in the face and kill them ? I don't and I was with troops trained to and paid to kill, let alone educators.
Its the new normal.....You cant just walk up to a girl at a club or bar because these kids never leave the house. (CV-19 did not help that program)
Every girl wants to be a tik tok or instagram star so there is no way they are settling for just a regular nice guy that works at home depot. The only way to get a date as a dude is on a app and girls get to weed through 100 guys so unless you pose in front of dads Ferrari and lie or look like a greek god shit is rough.
Kids don't want nto move out becuse parents have there room dialed in with a big screen and ps4 and a leased tacoma so a shit apartment with 4 buddies seems like a downgrade.
Basically the world is shit and parents are worse...lol
If my kid lives at home at age 25 (hell no to 31 y/o at home that means a parent isn't being a big enough prick and charging enough rent)nd isnt going to school to become a doctor i would send him on a 2 week back packing trip and sell the house and move before he returned...haha
We didn’t sell the house but I did tell my wife after we put our 25 yo kid on a plane to NH to live with a girl he barely knew that I hope things work out because I’m changing the locks.If my kid lives at home at age 25 (hell no to 31 y/o at home that means a parent isn't being a big enough prick and charging enough rent)nd isnt going to school to become a doctor i would send him on a 2 week back packing trip and sell the house and move before he returned...haha
I think a threat is a threat, and humanizing that threat gets you dead.
They have dehumanized everyone in their sights. Reciprocation is the only means of counter. That’s the basic real time scenario. All the mumbo jumbo comes later.
I think in order to meet your objective, the school districts would find it easier, to hire Mercs and train them to be teachers.
I did like the idea somebody suggested about roving armed roving K9 guards. Then grant them immunity for any collateral damage, because once the bullets fly, it will occur.
Lock the schools down, Xrays in and out, make schools like prisons. Shankings might increase but death by bullets would probably decrease.
Or, how about we just go back to the old school punching each other without the threat of automatic suspension.
Or no more schools, online learning only, everybody gets to stay in their safe space.
Wait, it was at a dance? Why didn't they just have a dance fight?When my oldest started h school they had a summer pre school mixer to get kids started. My freshman son had a junior make him his target. Guy kept on him during the dance and my son, who’s a little short tempered( don’t know where he gets it) let go and punched his nose and lip open. Bitchen, school hasn’t started and already thrown out. But was backed up by friends and a chaperone and other guy got tossed. Point of story is now he had cred and didn’t get fucked with all through hi school.
Wouldn’t happen now.
Who knows.
But as old guys we can only imagine what will happen over time.
I like the old school suggestion.
We fought sometimes, we got over it. Fighting with friends was how we learned shit.
Best guess is they are white. Lol!Wait, it was at a dance? Why didn't they just have a dance fight?

I have a Sig 9 micro...its never snuck out and killed anyone.9mm Sig Sauer purchased on Black Friday kills tnree and injures eight at a Michigan High school. Alleged operator in custody - CNN
If I had a kid, I would 100% send them with one of these in their backpack and train them for these situations. Sad times.....Guys take a look at these for your little ones. They aren’t the best. But they are lightweight enough to carry. https://bulletsafe.com/collections/backpack-panels-inserts/products/bulletproof-backpack-panel
As a teacher, I am not in favor of all teachers having guns. I believe if teachers agree to go through rigorous training, and/or have military experience, they should be allowed to conceal carry if they choose. I believe students and potential outside attackers knowing that any teacher could potentially be carrying would be a huge deterrent. However, many people are genuinely afraid of guns, and for good reason, IMO. People can use them to kill other people. Firing one is literally an explosion in your hands. They make extremely loud noises. If you are afraid of them, I don't want you to have one, much less be forced to carry one.
As a teacher and CCW holder, I am not sure if I would even want to carry one in the classroom for the points brought up in Taboma's post. Reason 1, if it prints, and the kids figure out I have a handgun on me, almost any male student and some of the girls even, might be able to overpower me and take it, especially if I am distracted helping another student at the time. Could I shoot the student? I don't know. Maybe I wouldn't even have that split-second choice and now the kid has my weapon. Reason 2, if there is a threat, but the student hasn't fired his/her weapon yet, I'm just not sure I could squeeze the trigger. Especially if it was one of "my" kids. Now, I do believe that if that student was actively shooting, I could do it. Not sure I could live with the heartbreak and mental trauma afterward, but I believe I could shoot at that moment. BUT, not until the shooting began. Kid just waving a gun and threatening? Don't think so. Reaching for his/her gun? Don't think so. Someone would have to be shot before I would fire. Even for that, I know that it would take a lot more training than I have. And there is no way I would go searching for the shooter outside of my immediate location. How would the police know who the shooter was and who was the teacher? Then there will be court cases against me with stupid people asking why you didn't just shoot him/her in the leg? He/she was a good kid that had just gone astray, just having a rough patch, had been bullied, etc; why did you have to shoot to kill?
I think money needs to be invested in more resource officers at the schools. Districts just will not invest in this. Additionally, you have some parents and teachers not wanting a police presence at schools. With the defund the police movement, a lot of districts got rid of the officers they already had in place. But, it is my understanding that there WAS a resource officer at this school, and it didn't deter this student, yet it would have been a lot worse if he hadn't been there and confronted the student getting him to stop shooting and surrender. So I think that is one answer. Each and every middle and high school should have them in place.
Both of my kids had them. Taught them to never run in a straight line, and put anything they can between them and the bad guy.If I had a kid, I would 100% send them with one of these in their backpack and train them for these situations. Sad times.....
I just heard on KFI that the parents of the shooter were at the school the morning of the shooting to meet with the principal to discuss their sons behavior.
If true that’s wild and would appear the school had a credible concern.
Police now looking for the parents and appears they have gone into hiding.Some new evidence came out.
Got a talking too days before when searching for ammo on his phone. School said need to be on councilling in 48 hours. “Mom said it’s ok, next time don’t get caught.
Then a few days later. Kid does a drawing day of shooting abs parents go on school ground but refuse to remove him from school. He was drawing pictures of kids getting shot and bleeding out.
A few hours later he pulled the gun out of his backpack and killed so far 4 kids.
My thoughts are the school should be sued for not checking his backpack after finding shooting drawings
Second parents should be held for murder
Third death penalty for this kid. Realizing that won’t happen should be in jail with zero visitation from fiend or family ever. As well as no letters or anything.
These parents can’t ever do that to their kids who passed away sp why should he!!!
Parents I’m sure are still proud. Hang them hardcore!!!
Just saw that. Wow!!! Story is still developing. My question is why we’re they not detained in the first placePolice now looking for the parents and appears they have gone into hiding.
"On Thursday night we contacted the Oakland County prosecutor to discuss this matter and to advise her that James and Jennifer Crumbley would be turning themselves in to be arraigned. Instead of communicating with us, the prosecutor held a press conference to announce charges.
"The Crumbleys left town on the night of the tragic shooting for their own safety. They are returning to the area to be arraigned. They are not fleeing from law enforcement despite recent comments in media reports."
They have shown him on OANN several times. That kid has Charles Manson eyes!!! Evil.Interesting I can't find a picture of the shooter???
It will be interesting to learn what drugs he's on or trying to get off.
90%+ of these mass shootings involve prescription drugs.
