@Hidinginthetreeline China has the technology too. They can even ban you from using the bus, if you don't greet your mother when you leave.

@fathersiren9914 And it's sad that he needs to be able to kill the other person from a distance, in order to feel safer. He's a Christian...i thought that was about finding the good in a person. God has never said anything about carrying guns, I doubt he supports it.

@fathersiren9914 You're asking me if I felt safe when I had a knife, if the assault/robber also has a knife. And then you state; A gun is safer because you can keep the criminal at distance.' Yeah but if the criminal has a gun..then what? Then he can hold me at gunpoint. And shoot me if I reach for my bag/hip/arm to get the gun. I'll tell you, my country doesn't have legal carrying, only cops have that and they are trustworthy ones. People can own guns in my country, but the rules are strict and assault rifles are not allowed. For this reason, we haven't had schoolshootings (even though we are stuffed together like sardines...18 million people on a surface the size of HALF of South-Georgia) and the crime-rates are at an all time low. It's never been this safe in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam. We've got 4 times less rape and 3 times as fewer murders as the USA, in proper comparison. If you háve a gun, you'll use it. We don't have them, so we don't use them. The reason I brought religion into this, is because the guy is preaching about his gun, but instead of trusting that God will take care of things and instead of practicing the Christian values (which he suggests he does) he is ready to commit one of the biggest sins. I'm not suggesting I am a strict believer, because I'm not, but the guy that I am talking about (the gun preacher) is a very strict Christian, or so he seems to think. So that's why I think he's a hypocritical ass.

@fathersiren9914 Well, sure, the muggers won't shoot, but for the same reason, there's a big chance that you/me wouldn't shoot either. Shooting someone isn't something you can just 'do.' I mean, the mugger isn't doing that because he's bored, he is forced to do it because of his circumstances. Other than that you're absolutely right.

Teachers didn't sign up for that. Murdering your own student, knowing what he/she is going through, possibly high levels of stress, deaths of family-members, etc. If you know a student is suffering from something, you are not going to shoot him in the head, not even when he starts attacking the rest. You can't ask that from teachers mentally. They bonded with those students. Imagine the trauma of having to kill your own student.

So the active shooter has to kill the person sitting behind the screen, ruin the system, shoot the electronics and then shoot the rest?

" if I open carry anywhere then it usually also deters people from starting any fights with me." So you're using it to intimidate them and that gives you peace? Once they knew you had the ability to kill them, they stopped 'the drama' with you? That sounds sad. You never ended a fight with words, you just show them you're capable of a potential murder? Your social skills must be great then. I wouldn't want my former teachers to have a handgun. Just for "fun" (not fun) purposes, look up some of those teachers-losing-it-compilations, where the teachers lose their temper and slam their students with a chair. Those need a gun? Police get training (barely any) and they don't even know how to shoot properly most of the time. And if you suggest that that's a good thing, people being able to shoot them without thinking twice, then think of the teachers that aren't like that. Do you really think that Mister Steve Williams, the geography teacher, will be able to shoot Jimmy in the head, once he starts screaming with a gun in his hand? Will Miss Wilma be prepared to teach, if that meant she might have to shoot Jessica in the chest, the depressed girl who wasn't helped properly by the school-psychologist? Think.
