Annihilator (Gun Control Thread- NOT SHOOTINGS)

[djzombie]

Arming teachers is fuckin dumb.

I am all for licensed armed security personnel at schools, protecting schools with gun free zones signs is fucking stupid and just makes them an easy target that ensures there is less danger to the shooter, and announces this fact to them.

However arming teachers, who's primary function should be to teach, is not a good idea.

There is a significant difference between someone who has taken a gun safety course and someone who has been trained to respond under fire.

We saw in Florida that even those who have been trained to respond to these situations can be too afraid to act.

I just think if we are going to arm people inside a school, that should be their primary purpose.

I was having a conversation with someone about this the other day and they suggested to hire veterans as janitorial staff that also serve as a armed response team in an event with an active shooter. I think that is a far better idea than arming teachers who likely have little experience with fire arms or life threatening situations.

Having a gun disguised as a mop would be brilliant. You’ve got the long range versatility of a gun, with the close range vomit-inducingness of a dirty mop.

BRB getting a patent.

Literally just today we've had two accidental firearm discharges in schools, one by a school police officer and another by a teacher who is a "reserve police officer" whatever that is.

Putting more firearms into schools is bad. In fact, more firearms anywhere makes that place more likely to have people injured or killed by gunshots.

Alright, now dispute this:

Do you have any evidence whatsoever that there is more gun violence in gun-free zones than non gun-free zones?

Lets take the most loaded approach to this;

The work of R. J. Rummel, a political science professor at the University of Hawaii, documents 169,202,000 people who were killed during the 20th century by governments practicing democide — defined as politically motivated genocide, mass murder, or other purposeful killing. According to Rummel’s scholarly research, the Soviet Union killed 61,911,000. Maoist China killed 35,236,000. The Nazis killed 20,946,000. Other smaller totalitarian dictatorships killed the rest. These numbers do not include casualties of war. All these countries were turned into gun-free-zones before the killing began.

Well yea it’s fucking stupid, those signs only reach like what, 2-3 feet at most? If that’s all schools are gonna use to protect themselves, shooters just have to keep them at arm’s length.

"YouTube said it would ban videos relating to the sale or assembly of guns and certain gun accessories, as tech giants face growing pressure to limit the promotion of firearms."


hmm, now that's an interesting development.

RIP Demolition Ranch and Hickok45

Is that retroactive or going forward? Because there's a LOT of videos demonstrating slide fire and other bumpstocks and other mods that accomplish some form of automatic firing capability.

Two of my fave gun channels. I hate the idea of swapping to Full30.

When I go to PH it ain’t going to be for gun videos

[Boyiee]

Did the resource officer actually shoot the kid and stop the threat or did the kid off himself? I'm seeing all kinds of different stories.

[Prim]

No official word yet. Seems like this would be something rather easy to figure out. Not sure what’s taking so long.
