>>5453132Funny I've actually made an argument like this before.
I think the presence of guns on just about everyone is a huge deterrent for behavior like this. I'll tell you one thing if a school shooter knows every teacher in the school is armed he's going to pick a different target. Spree killers and serial killers have to plan around the possibility of a weapon on a potential victim. Dying before you can complete your objective is just not their style. They'd much rather target say a gun free zone where they know the chance of getting shot is almost zero. They want to feel the power of having total control because of something petty just like their victims.
The more guns we have in the hands of honest citizens the less gun related spree killings you'll see. Give the teachers guns. Hell give the janitors guns. If you're at work you need a gun on you. Work is where those people are prone to snap.
If the AR platform ever gets banned nation wide under the context of being an "assault weapon" I guarantee you'll see someone go out, buy one illegally and kill a bunch of people with it.
You can't remove guns anymore than you can remove the spree killings but one can prevent the other.
The only reason I didn't do it in high school is my state had hella guns in the surrounding neighborhood and I'd only get about 4 minutes of fun before I'd have to bail out to go die to a bunch of regular joes with their shotguns.
No thanks fampai.
