Another Mass Shooting Less Than 6 Months

First of all, I'd like to say that my thoughts and prayer go with the family of the students that have died. I have no idea how they must be feeling but hope they stay strong and get justice for the killer as he was caught.

In less than 6 months, there was a shooting at the Santa Fe Highschool today and so far the death toll has been confirmed to be 10 dead and it could be rising. As soon as the shooting started kids just ran from all sorts of direction and the shooter has been identified as Dimitrios Pagourtzis, who was actually a student with a great track record and was expected to graduate in 2019.

It's reached this point where things does not look good at all for the NRA, first Parkland and now Santa Fe. It's a matter of whether your kids feel safe inside a school or not. Trump proposed that teachers should carry fire arms and be trained to protect the kids from these type of incidents. In all honesty it seems like a practical plan that could act as deterrent, but giving it to teachers may be problem as well.

If the teachers are given the firearm then a shooter wouldn't have to look elsewhere to get the gun he could take it from one of the teachers. However, what is to stop the teacher from going rogue as well? it doesn't have to be students but teachers well that go rogue and also the firearm could be used for intimidation and other tactics. More guns doesn't mean better defence it means more chaos because you now have weapons that could fall into the hands of anyone, mentally unstable or not.

Of course all the celebrities and big names have given their thoughts and prayers but people are slowly changing their mind to gun control and if it isn't implemented then I can see riots and pretty violent ones happening. Kids are restless and scared of going school, because a mass shooting at a school happens almost every other day. Actions are needed now more than ever by people at the top, we need a strategy or something that doesn't encourage this.

A couple things to note here. Trump wants teachers, janitors, coaches or the principle to be able to carry a firearm in the school with the proper training of course.

Trump suggests arming teachers as a solution to increase school safety

Trump on Thursday morning tweeted he "never said 'give teachers guns'" and then repeated his quote from Wednesday about looking into the possibility of "giving concealed guns to adept teachers with military or special training."

And also, a teacher that intimidates a student or anyone with a gun is menacing and it's against the law. The vast vast majority like 99.9% of CCW license holders don't break the law. So CCW holders in schools would probably not break the law either.

Menacing Law and Legal Definition

Menacing is a crime governed by state laws, which vary by state, but typically involves displaying a weapon or a course of conduct that intentionally places another person in reasonable fear of physical injury or death. The following is an example of a state law that deals with menacing:

Hmm..

Then that's reassuring hear, but it's only a temporary plan. What I am vying for is a permanent solution to the problem, I feel the administration isn't doing enough to tackle this problem and public anxiety is growing like a bubble that will one day explode.

More guns doesn't mean better defence it means more chaos because you now have weapons that could fall into the hands of anyone, mentally unstable or not.

Did you make this statement out of emotion? Because you didn't provide any evidence or reason for it to be true.
