Erm....some people who don't have kids work in public schools or do onsite business with public schools. More people than parents have skin in this game.
I read recently on the internet somewhere, maybe here:Kids are playing on the tarmac during recess. One kid picks up a stick and starts hitting other kids with it. The Democratic solution is to take his stick away, The Republican solution is to give all of the other kids a stick.
Sociopaths.In the US, sociopaths are folks with neither conscience nor empathy, but not delusional (maybe in the cult sense, but not the psychotic "voices in my head" sense).
My sweetie and I suspect that there are tribal boundaries in our heads, in within which we empathize and understand* other members of the tribe. Here in the States right now we have a surfeit of people who only perceive as human people who are MAGA hats, and maybe only those who are Evangelicals.
Other people's concept of tribe (real people) are immediate family; other's includes all humans. Some people seem to expand it to include all animals, or think they do.
If you're not in the tribe, they feel no sympathy or guilt when hurting you.
Remember that teachers and schools - especially public schools - are already under attack. Teachers will get support from these people for gun ...incidents ...only when they prove themselves to be sufficiently racist and punitive.
Yep. No kids here, work with public school kids. Other childfree folks also understand that a major indicator of a society's health depends on how we nurture and educate our children. Many of us also - willingly and eagerly - pay taxes to support our public schools and therefore have a stake in how they function, and/or have kids in our lives some other way (eg nieces and nephews both surrogate and biological, younger cousins, etc).
Yes, by all means, encourage mass killers to think they’re going to get to LARP with armed teachers IRL. Chances are this will actually increase the number of mass shooting events .
We’ll see what happens when one of these guns gets misused to take out a few students or teachers, or stolen and used in a crime outside of school. It’s only a matter of time.
Did you know in many districts teachers are not allowed to hit a student, even if the kid is an 18yo football player who just punched them? I'm sure they can shoot a former/current student without hesitation. /s
You can make fun of the Ohio law all you want, but if you had to face a group of restless first graders, wouldn't you want to be in the position to return fire?

"It might be a tumor""It's not a tumor".
That line exchange chokes me up. The filmmakers treat it as a throwaway moment and ignore why that child says that. Ahnold should have followed up.
Every time I hear people talk about the "good guy with the gun" I think of that Donut Shop scene in "Boogie Nights."

It would be nice and much safer if these guns were required to have smart triggers. You know, for when the kids get a hold of them and demand an "A".

* Or at least, think we do.

The only way to stop a bad kid with a stick is a good kid with a stick
I choose to believe he did, but the scene got cut for time.

Well, he does have zero training as a teacher.
