1. Why?
2.good 3. Gun control is most def needed that includes owners of weapons should keep them in a safe/locked place i feel alot of times when things "happen" it's from neglagence on gun owners behalf. 4. good, semi auto's? i am borderline with this one i have a few friends with ar15's and others i would love to own one but seeing the damage it can cause is understandable, but then falls into owners safegaurding them. |

This is actually how the kids at Colobine got their guns, they where underage but had a friend go buy them. In the case of the Connecticut shooting, being the mother owned the weapons, I'm sure the shooter could have accessed them even if they had been locked up. Both Colorado and Arizona shooters legally purchased the firearms. Both had clean criminal records, however both also had lengthy mental health histories. |

I don't think someone on a suicidal rampage is going to "puss out" - I do think you'd be able to drop them dead 20 seconds into their rampage however, meaning only a few people may have been hurt or killed instead of dozens.

Wow, I didn't realize the Philippines could make something so genuine-looking with such inferior production tools.
I agree a total ban on civilian guns would be the 1920's all over again. Reducing gun violence doesn't have to mean total gun control! When will those politicians understand this? Though I doubt they will be able to disarm every law abidin citizen, I'm sure they will push harder to ban anything scary looking, one by one. With the public's (fear mongered) consent of course. |

Pretty good article about how Japan's gun laws are compared to ours.
The Japan lesson: Can America learn from the country that has almost zero gun deaths? I think the issue is people just lose their minds and go crazy. Than you got people who have very short tempers and rage easily. I think the push from the NRA made guns desirable to today's society, and our video games enforce it too, anyone remember call of duty mw2, in the beginning of the game you go shooting up an airport. Lens of Truth: Modern Warfare 2 - "No Russian" Airport Mission - YouTube Of course gun owners will not give up their rights to firearms. But some people just lose their minds.

Unfortunately he very wrong about mental health and "personality disorders". If someone is on medication is because there is often something PHYSICALLY WRONG with their brains.
The two most common form of "violent" mentally ill people are the AntiSocials (sociopaths) and Schizophrenics. While most Schizophrenics are nonviolent, they have a break from reality where their brain is unable to determine what is real and what is not. Schizophrenia can be easily measured with brain scans. Antisocial (Sociopaths) people are very real, very common and often very scary. Antisocial personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

Violence in America is actually on a massive down swing. Most studies show violent video games do not make people violent. I think everyone on this website has played MW2 - did anyone go out and shoot up an airport? Does anyone want to go torture small animals? Did watching Haloween make you want to go around killing people with a knife? Gun ownership is also down - Plenty of stats out there. Quote:

I am not positive, but there was a report stating the guy in Oregon was confronted by someone with a gun, retreated and shot himself. I can't confirm that. Then there was the guy in Wisconsin who was shooting that temple and when confronted by an officer, stopped his attack on the temple and went after the officer. Mostly, now, officers are taught to NOT wait for SWAT to arrive but rather to go into the shooting, find the suspect and engage. My department is taught that and if we are able to get a couple of officers together prior, then that is good. But the first ones on the scene, grab your extra ammo, AR's and go and engage.

I agree with this - but my argument is knowing there are police out there is not going to stop a rampage for being initiated. In the case of this School, ad there been a door guard, I don't think the shooter would have said "oh shit, I might get caught - fuck it". I also don't think it's economically feasible to post 2-3 cops at every school in this nation with the express duty of guarding the facility. That is where my suggestion of armed teachers, or maybe cops that are duel roll - full time teacher with LEO authority or something comes in. That way you have a half-dozen people who only make a few extra hundred a year spread out over the school - all capable fo dealing with this kind of situation. |

But I completely agree with you as well. Teachers should be given the ability to defend themselves. They will go through tactics and backgrounds and what not. And be allowed to carry designated weapons and ammo. Because in general, an officer getting to a school could take minutes. How many rounds, from a semi, can one shoot in several minutes of terror? Now the thing to consider, the teachers that would be armed, need to have some special and highly visible identification to responding officers so the officers don't think the teacher is the threat.

Also i feel a teacher would have to take a gun course same as a officer. Honestly my opinion most police forces could spare a few people worst case hire, make more jobs for the economy any way. problem is it's not just schools to worry about , mall shooting was a day prior plus any public place can be a target. Problem is people not guns, what if this asshole got some grenades or worse a bomb? those would be more damaging in a crowded place then any gun just look at what happens oversea's. |

How are cops and soldiers any different? They go to a training course for a few weeks and somehow no longer "everyday persons"? As for more pay, how bout they keep their jobs and get the pleasure of knowing they are making a difference? Teachers in Chicago already make $75,000 a year. Maybe we should be expecting more for our money.

Yeah good try getting guns in schools with teachers, there will be some students who try to go for the guns. Especially high school students , where they are big enough to take down a teacher.
Who's to say a teacher doesn't flip out? Bearly making rent, than gets called in to hand his/her stuff over getting laid off , etc.. Only way is to make gun laws stricter. But it is hard to do so without people getting upset about giving up their guns. "But people can still get guns on the black market", well the government can work on cracking down on that as well, as well as gun imports from the border etc. It wouldn't be too far fetched if someone in that family turns out to be a bit nuts.

. Thats another downside, highschool kids can take down a teacher whats stopping some kids from holding down a teacher and unlocking a gun to use? thats putting it at easier access in some cases. School protection should be enforced in someway though forsure. |

Lovely quote of miss information there. So your going to compare the shooting deaths of Englands 49 million in raw total to the US's total for 320+ million?
Conveniently you leave out the "rougher" parts of Europe, like the Balkans, Russia and Ireland. Can we just cut out the shooting deaths of New Orleans, New York, Washington, Detroit, LA and Oakland for the US? We can go on and on. The fact remains in all of these mass shootings the individual was mentally ill and had given off plenty of warning of their insatiability. There is simply no path of action in handling such individuals. In the Connecticut case, the firearms where owned by the mother - a law abiding citizen who I can safely say would never had harmed the children, or anyone for that mater. The Norwegian shooting proves to me that if someone wants to go on a mass rampage there is nothing thats going to stop them. |

They can find new jobs. But I think we are both in agreement, the whole "Code Blue" hide in your class room thing is just stupid. ID Cards are a joke and I'd be curious to what the stats are for the inner-city schools with onsite Police officers.

No matter what if someone wants to kill people they will, if they can't buy a gun you build a pipe bomb, Stab the shit outta people whatever. The problem isn't guns. More psychological support in schools would probably have a bigger effect than a stupid gun law

you guys should quit the gun debates. it isn't the problem.
it lies within the person. adam specifically was a very sick and mentally handicapped person. his brain works abnormally in comparison to what a normal person should operate at. his mother was a huge problem in causing the shooting. if she had just realized that her son was a sick and a psychologically unstable person, this could have been prevented. some say he did it to be remembered, for fame, and to be forever known, but honestly, i think he did this because of the abnormalities in his head that caused him to go crazy and create havoc in a school full of little kids. read this article- 'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother': A Mom's Perspective On The Mental Illness Conversation In America parents need to start ACCEPTING the fact that their child is DIFFERENT from everyone else. they need to know that their kid needs special treatment. as much as everyone wants to have a healthy normal acting kid, it isn't the case. stop treating kids with mental disorders as normal people and accept the fact that they will forever be different. just read that article, and you will see exactly why the parenting was a huge cause for the death of the little kids. |

A place like Phoenix police department is down 300 people and won't hire until 2015 they estimate. They lose around 20 people a month. Trying to just hire people to put into school is impossible. Arming and training a select number of teachers would give them a better chance at preventing something like this. Like I stated before, when someone is able to return fire to an attacker, they stop and either shoot themselves or go after the person firing them. Giving chance for others to escape. Officers want to get there as fast as possible, trust me. But being 1-5 minutes out. Then finding the shooter would take a lot of time and lives.

The larger moral issue is what do you do when you identify someone as "at risk". Do you lock them up? Force them to take medication? Who pays for this? What would such actions do to the greater population, will people begin to fear seeking mental help because they don't want to be labeled and have their lives ruined? |

the killer did not develop this at 18-20, he had it his whole life. he was crazy and legally insane. the problem should have been pointed out when he was a kid. did you guys also see the conspiracy info that was coming out on the shooting, along with the shooting of the movie theater? Quote:
