Yep those guns and more guns would have stopped that asshole right in his tracks. Probably wouldn't have had the balls to walk into that school in the first place.

The mere presence of armed people would do a lot to prevent this kind of activity.

People who are deranged, or want to make a statement, do not go into a place where the second they draw a gun they could be confronted and subdued.

They go somewhere where it can be a shooting gallery, like a school.

We don't need super soldiers, we just need ADULTS. Living, breathing, functioning adults. People that are responsible. Not children playing pretend adults being scared of inanimate objects.

Welcome back, TX.

I'm sure there are several states in the USA where it is allowed to carry a gun at schools.

I'm not sure if that is the solution. In Europe, nobody cares guns, especially not in schools.

How often does it happen here? Every blue moon.

"Coincidentally" the countries that allow guns, seem to have the highest number of incidents.

I'm sorry if you find a free society so scary, but I don't subscribe to your viewpoint and never will.

Shit happens in the world, and the more we go off track as a society, they more shit we are seeing. The incident today has nothing to do with firearms, same as drunk driving not being the fault of the automobile.

It's the fault of the person. It's the fault of the people who would insist that we not be allowed to defend ourselves because if we just wave a magic wand and chant "Guns cannot cross this line magic no gun fairy" that somehow it prevents this kind of activity from happening in the future.

The presence of a gun does not automatically insinuate violence, and a gun doesn't hold magical jedi powers to push someone into murder. You *should* be intelligent enough to understand that.

There are an estimated 85+ million gun owners in the U.S. with an estimated 270+ million guns.

While it isn't any consolation to the family/friends of murder victims a fraction of 1% of the 270+ million firearms are used in committing murder every year...In 2011 8,583 murders were committed by firearms out of 12,664 murders. Guns might be the weapon of choice but they are not the cause.

Trying to punish or blame 85+ million gun owners for the acts of deranged people who murder isn't going to get anyone anywhere.

Total Murders by year;

2006-15,087

2007-14,916

2008-14,224

2009-13,752

2010-12,996

2011-12,664

Total Murders by firearms

2006-10,225

2007-10,129

2008-9,528

2009-9,199

2010-8,775

2011-8,583

Number of NICS checks per year

2006-10,000,000

2007-11,000,000

2008-12,000,000

2009-14,000,000

2010-14,560,000

2011-15,142,400

I hate to confuse liberals with facts.

I'd be willing to Bet any liberal 1000.00 dollars that the inverse of these facts is real.

Less guns = more crime.

I said it at lunch one day t school with my other teacher friends. They should give all us teachers gun training. Put lock box on the wall with a shotgun or handgun. Only time it opens is during a lockdown and it has to be done from inside the office.

Hey T Gal where ya been? As a retired teacher I have mixed feelings about this idea. Let me first say that in the countries you mentioned there is a significant possibility of traditional terrorist attacks and that would be the reason for the policy. Secondly, in Israel most of those teachers have military training which prepares them for this policy. Now to the current issue. My first reaction today was like many of yours if the staff was armed there could have been a far different outcome. I know for damn sure if I was packing and this moron came anywhere near my kids I would have had no hesitation in taking him out. That being said, I am sure you know that packing does not guarantee a person will when the chips are down use the weapon. Remember the old admonition "don't bring a gun unless you are fully prepared to use it" with good reason if you can't the counter party sure as hell will. As for deterence these clowns commit suicide after their acts! Dead is dead whether self inflicted or at someone elses behest.

All that said, I still favor at least allowing those who are trained on the Staff to carry. Admin and Secretaries especially since they usually are the first targets.

There could be a bigger problem here though! That being the issue of initial safety. ALL DOORS in any public school should be LOCKED allowing only access by admission period. The hardware is such that you can open it from the inside to get out but no entry. One door near the office should become the designated point of access during school hours. I fought for this in my District which is not unlike Newtown and it took 10 years and a State Law to finally bring it about. This would at least perhaps provide some safety if not a period to react.
