    The only reasonable option right now, but again people have hook ups and will find a way to get it anyways...

    obviously you wouldn't be one to be picked for that responsibility. some teachers actually care about the kids enough to defend their lives. they would have to supply some compensation for those who decide to volunteer to be trained.

    Allright, somebody already kicked the political ant hill, so let's get this over with and cut the hyperbolic crap.

    Reality

    Gun violence will persist and increase as long as the two following things apply.

    1) Guns are about as easy to obtain as a driver's license

    2) Mental health is an afterthought in terms of common medical care

    Until these two things are fixed, nothing is going to change.

    It would be much more difficult to smuggle weapons into the US than it is to grow weed or smuggle.

    I agree with your 2nd point completely, but if someone is in the state of mind that they are going to shoot up a place with innocent people, obtaining a gun illegally isn't exactly a tough thing for them to do either.

    Um, no kidding, probably because they're so abundant and easy to get legally.

    You do realize there are hundreds of millions of guns already in circulation... banning them is next to impossible. Guns can last hundreds of years, we've made our bed now we sleep in it.

    Cars serve a purpose in daily, functional human life. What positive purpose do guns serve in relation to everyday existence.

    Let's avoid the extremes in this conversation, please.

    Otherwise, your attitude sounds very defeatist. I disagree whole heartedly. Changes and progress can be made. Nothing will happen overnight. That doesn't make it not worth doing, though. (Double negative awesomeness woot)

    This is just horrible.

    It is reported there are two gunmen and one is still at large. Could be a terrorist attack.
