Received Buffalo Video

What if several teachers at that school were armed? Unless one of them was the teacher in the very classroom the shooter did his killing, what help would/could they be.

I know well a teacher that was involved in a school shooting. He felt terrible he couldn't help, but he did what he was supposed to. He stayed with his own room full of kids, those were his to take care of. You don't know what the hell is going on, how many bad guys, their plans, where they all might be.

It's easy for the armchair Rambos, the rack your pump shotgun experts, the Morning Joes, and politicians to criticize after the fact.
I don't disagree. But it is clear that the police are not capabile of helping soon enough to prevent tragedy. Had someone been armed, they could have potentially confronted the kid and took him out. Like the passengers on fligth 93, if I'm going down, I am going down with a fight. Let's roll.

I understand, a chance is better than nothing I agree, but to have any major effect on the shooters bad intentions it means somebody has to be in the right place at the right time.

I sit here and wonder...when I was a kid there were plenty of guns around. Access to one was as easy as now, probably easier. We had guns in our house but if there wasn't the neighbors did. I could have walked into any neighbors house and taken a gun if I wanted, just wait for them to leave the house, the doors weren't locked. In some cases if I asked to borrow one they'd have let me. My buddies and I were traipsing around in the woods with guns when we were 10yrs old.

People weren't shooting up schools back then...what changed in the last 60yrs? It isn't the presence of guns.

We stopped institutionalizing depressed and psychotic kids and instead gave them anti depressants and other Meds, then let them have at it in the general population. Carter started it, Reagan finished it.
 
I think we need to arm some teachers. Rigorous background checks and rigorous training. Not a perfect situation but better than doing nothing. You never know. Even if they can stop 1 shooter. But even more than that it may be a deterrent. Mass shooters seek soft targets. A school is one of the softest targets there is. If they know there are a number of teachers with guns they may think twice. Maybe they target a mall instead and as bad as that is it isn't a whole room full of 8 year olds. And there is a pretty good chance someone in that mall has a gun, where nobody at the school does.
Nobody wants to play Rambo but I know I would do what I could to prevent something like that. Even if policy dictated I stay in my room, if I felt I could do something and was confident enough then screw policy. Even if you save 1 kid that would make it worth it.
The deal with arming teachers is it would have to be kept as secretive as possible. Sure some other teachers would know who was armed but try to keep it as discreet as possible. But again, if anything it might be more of a deterrent than a defense.
 
Nobody mentioned this tweet yet?

Rigorous selection and training for sure, you don't want to give some of them to much responsibility...like closing the damn door:eek::rolleyes:
 
That's so stupid I wonder if it's real;)
Seems to be real. Has the blue checkmark which indicates it's a verified account and it has been talked about. I saw it first hand on Twitter after a guy I trade stocks with replied to it so it showed up in my feed so I went to it to view it myself
 
I read that as well this morning. Also read that the same girl dialed 911 multiple times from inside the room.
 
Whole thing smells fishy as phuck if half of this is true. Propped door open, cops standing around. Supposedly poor yet had two Daniel Defense AR’s he just bought. Those are some of the most expensive off the shelf AR’s you can buy! Im not much of a conspiracy theorist but this whole thing Stinks!

Heard this reported as well AND also read that the teacher had locked the classroom door to the hall but did not lock the adjoining room door and that was how he got in the room with the kids.
 
Local PD did nothing but stand around with a thumb up their ass. Border Patrol agent at a barber shop - 40 miles away, gets a text from his wife saying help! He grabs the barber's shop shotgun, drives 40 miles - gets his wife and daughter out and takes out the shooter.

Who could make this BS up? Not me! The cops are cuckold and do nothing....
