As a Briton, I just will never understand the concept of normal citizens carrying around guns, which they have very little practical use for, if at all...michaelP4This. ^
Minus the Briton part.
Imagine this scenario A teacher is ridiculed daily by his or her students, They show no respect, toss back remarks and overall makes her work day difficult. They spread rumors and so on. Now Let's say this teacher also has a very troublesome private life, Husband's cheating on her, death in the family that she's still not over along with her getting more and more stressed and declining mentally. One day she snaps, in Class. She walks over to the Door, locks it and then draw her weapon and start shooting the students. Then what? Should students start carrying firearms?, imagine how many school shooting would take place then. How many would get rid of a bully by walking up behind them and just pull the trigger? Or should all the kids wear kevlar?, to learn that as soon as they step outside of the door they can be killed, in fact even at home they're not safe. What kind of country would that be when your first lesson is that you can be killed at any given time by anyone, even the ones next to you in class?Treflis
Put it in a locker where teachers have to get them? Heck, maybe even make an alarm sound when that particular locker is opened -- students should be evacuating or locking down the place anyway, if it comes to the point where a teacher/headmaster needs to use that gun.
Heck, there could be a central area on every classroom block or so, that stores guns. It should be no less secure than the standard gun-safe, only that when the safe is opened, the whole school has an alarm.
Maybe even have walkie-talkies in there. I don't see how a teacher that "snaps" would be able to go to retrieve that gun, have the whole school on alarm, and have his/her students still sit in the class all like "Nah I'm sure Professor Thompson is fine... he probably just went to take a piss. It couldn't have anything to do with the gun alarm sounding."
What about university campuses? Can't really protect those the same. -Tish-The issue with this is that those people aren;t considered important. No one went guns are bad crazy in desperation mode and everyone blaming everything in site and passing laws trying to control people and destroy the 2nd amendment until KIDS got killed. Why? I still am not sure. VT was a bigger mess, and some of those people were kids parents, no one cared, it died off, then this comes up, it's the biggest deal ever and will not die off anytime soon, so protecting college campus is irrelevant in the real world outside this site as sad as it is, and they will reject most motions for protection.
