More guns "is an extreme position?"
What's a "reasonable position?" Harsh language?
Mass shooters are cowards by nature, they commit suicide or surrender the moment police show up. They do not target gun shows, gun stores, or police stations. No terrorists attacked Marine recruiting stations after armed citizens began doing armed security. You won't get within 100 feet of the private schools politicians send their kids without running into former Navy SEALS with their guns.
It's silly to think a teacher can carry concealed or carry openly off campus but suddenly becomes too dangerous to have that same right on campus. That is a selective hoplophobia that is getting people killed. The Left needs it though in order to advance their control agenda.
Today, a man threatened to kill me on social media, why? I disagreed with his demand to ban guns. The man who thinks guns should be illegal offered to use one to kill someone. If that doesn't show what his real goal is, nothing will (reported him to youtube and his threat was removed...I almost reported him to the FBI but they don't have a great track record on doing anything).
Another idea would be to recruit more reserve police officers. I actually sent that idea to Trump himself last weekend. In case no one knows, a reserve officer is like a volunteer fire fighter, trained by academy but doing police work for free. I entered such a program once in a large city but ended up moving away before getting very far along. Post a few volunteers in each school, that would avoid the "gun free zone" thing as police are exempt. Fund their training via the federal govt if needed. *If my parents weren't so bad off, I'd pay for my own academy training and do it myself.
The real solutions are harder though. Keep parents married. Make parents discipline their kids. Bring back the bible into schools. Religion is a proven regulator of behavior. Stop doping kids up to calm them down. Encourage sports participation.....strong bodies make for confident minds. Encourage the strong kids to protect the weak outcasts....make fighting in school a normal thing (it is normal) and stop punishing the victims of bullies for fighting back.
Guns were much more common and easier to get years back and there were no mass shootings. That in itself is proof guns are not the issue.
