Why would we want to put MORE guns inside a school? Want to know the real **** ing way to solve gun violence inside schools? GIVE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS BETTER ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH HELP! COMMON **** ING SENSE! It's not, "Restrict who can own guns", or, "Ban all firearms", its, give a real **** about children. It's not "Give teachers guns", not, "armed guards all around the school". It should be common sense. Kids get access to firearms in the first place because stupid adults leave them in places where children can get them! JUST LOCK THEM IN GUN SAFES AND HIDE THE FRIGGIN KEY! ITS NOT HARD! YOU DON'T NEED TO TREAT IT LIKE A TOY! GUNS ARE NOT TOYS! GUNS KILL PEOPLE! I GET IT, you want to feel safe? Want to know how children feel safe? WHEN THEY DON'T NEED TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO BE SHOT EVERY TIME THEY GO TO **** ING SCHOOL? Lock guns up in places inaccessible to children, and give them better access to mental heath. It's not hard.

If there are no teachers able or willing in the school to have this responsibil… Read more

“GIVE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS BETTER ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH HELP!”
Interesting point of view. I would like to investigate this further. Can you provide an example of a program that provides better access to mental health help to children and adolescents that has been successful in reducing gun violence in schools? It is important to understand the effectiveness of these programs before deciding they are the only solution. I agree with you that guns are not toys and should be locked up in inaccessible places, but this alone may not prevent gun violence in schools. What are your thoughts on this?

Yes, but also what about the adults who commit mass shootings? Shouldn't we also utilize stricter gun control for adults as well, on top of the better access to mental healthcare..?
