Trained CAREER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS fail to hit their intended target nearly 80% of the time under stress. And they sometimes fire their weapons intentionally at people who don't deserve to be fired upon. You want TEACHERS to have that kind of authority?
So what do you suggest we do to solve this problem? You, so far, have not come up with a good solution.
Awesome. You wish to leave the blame discussion and start the solutions discussion? How nice.
I'm game. Here are a few ideas..
Ban manufacture, sale and possession of any semi-automatic firearm with the exception of LE or military personnel.
Require extensive background checks prior to purchase of any handgun.
Require a license to possess any firearm.
Require yearly registration ( including testing ) for any handgun.
Require training and periodic registration for shotguns and long guns used for hunting.
Require firearm owners to purchase liability insurance for their firearms.
Return our mental health system to pre-Reagan era effectiveness.
There are more....but you get the idea. I'm all about solutions.
