Newtown Connecticut Mass Shooting at Elementary School

[Riidii]

Schools are gun free zones, which is why people like this idiot chose to go there and commit a massacre. They know there will be 0% chance of resistance.

In my opinion, make schools harder to just stroll into and arm the adults.

Safely of course.

I feel for the kids that survive this for they're going to have to live with this for the rest of their lives. What horrible situation.

Children are resilient... they wont be as affected as you think.

too bad the gun laws are so strict, had there been more guns they could've defended themselves..

Each child is different. Couple that with some kids with already tough lives and you have a mess.

Kindergarten kids are going to defend themselves with guns? lol

I work with kids of all ranges of behaviors and yes, some can show a resilient side but there are others who are forever going to be changed by this. They just need more attention earlier on to ensure they don't steer down the path this shooter ended up on.

Don't you think that will just result in edgy teachers (or any other school staff, or any other person in general if you were referring to adults in general) snapping and killing more people in a frenzy? The whole problem is that the people who snap don't actually have enough time to cool down before the idea pops into their head of taking guns and killing people.

You can't be serious with that.

The idea of people "snapping" is largely a fallacy. These killers brood for weeks and premeditate their actions, almost all are suicidal. With this Lanza guy, he had body armor, and tried to buy a gun earlier in the week, he was clearly planning this for some time. The chances of a functioning teacher or administrator having a random psychotic break with no warning signs is pretty miniscule.

The danger of guns in schools would come from teachers being careless and allowing their students access to the guns. Given how overwhelming the job of a school teacher already is, the chance of an accident due to human error would be unacceptably high.

Arm the adults? You must be joking. Why don't we give every kid a gun? You know, safely of course. I can see the newspapers "stressed teacher shot acting out student after he provoked him".

Or lets put a fully automatic gatling gun with auto aim in front of every classroom.


I hope you realize yourself how silly this looks. Crazy people would only have even easier access to weapons. They just steal them at school and start shooting right away.

So now we've gone from .00000001% of the population being crazy to everyone being crazy?

Alrighty then.

What are you even talking about? Where did I say that? Stop making up points which I never even said.

[Ashmourne]

look at where the mass shootings occure, one theme common to them all, "gun free zones" they choose those areas because they know there will be no resistance.

People who think that outlawing guns for the general public will fix killing and violence really need to have their brains examined. Criminals will still get the guns, illegally, and still kill people with them. Banning guns won't do a damn thing. I'd rather it stay legal to own a gun so that I can defend myself and my family from crazy whack jobs out there.

How many more children need to die before this point of view is re-examined?

Like it or not, countries with tighter gun control have fewer incidents of gun crime, and certainly fewer instances of school focused massacres. Will outlawing guns reduce the instances of these to 0? Hell no. Will it reduce it significantly? Yes.

Just because determined people will still be able to get hold of firearms doesn't mean that you should make them readily available to anyone that wants one. Also, even the most determined social school outcast will find it fucking hard to get hard of military grade assault weaponry!!!

Thats a fake, i know because i saw the thread... It's been on 4chan alot and people there have debunked it.

[Gamdwelf]

it probably is, people make a lot of threats on /b/ but usually they just like kill themselves.

The fact the shooter had a mask on is also suspicious, why go to the trouble of wearing a mask if you're going to kill yourself? James Holmes also wore a mask?!
