Armed teacher could have lit those kids up too when they start acting up.
The Don really doesn't want to win the nomination...he is trying desperately to get out.
Arming teachers does work.

That might help a little. However, deterrence is still the best defense. Hell, just park a few marked squad car in front of each school. Do something! Are we going to sacrifice the safety of school children over an all or nothing Second Amendment/gun control pissing match? Are these kids just props to be used to advance political agendas.
Obama's silence in the face of inner-city gun violence just highlights his shallow political approach to problem solving. He's been exposed.
Are you sure that campus doesn't have armed security? Iowa and Kirkwood has it so my expectation is this school did too.
Edit, I guess you are right:

Once again the left "thinks" they can protect everyone. At some point you have to protect yourself and not wait for help.
The former president of an Oregon community college where a gunman opened fire, killing at least 10 people and wounding seven others, says the school has only one security officer on duty at a time, and that person isn't armed.
What about arming untrained civilians to fight killers sounds like a good idea to you?
Not that this is my favorite plan, but surely you would concede that any government plan that involved giving weapons to teachers would also produce some sort of mandatory training time. Probably also with a pay bump and yearly retreats and an inservice day and drills run during English class.
Do you think crazy bastards that plan on dying really care if there are armed guards. I mean how many of the people that do mass shootings live
These people care about living just long enough to murder a lot of people. So yes, armed guards do tend to spoil their party. That's why they pick soft targets.
Why can't those that volunteer be trained? It's not like these killers are SEAL Team Six. They are untrained a-holes whose only advantage is they have a gun and their target doesn't.
BTW, any teacher who wanted to be armed at UCC could have concealed-carried. Of course, the shooter killed the teacher in his classroom so I doubt it would have done much good.
In fact, John Parker, a 36-year-old Army veteran, was armed and on campus along with other armed students at the time of the shooting. They didn't move to help because law enforcement was already on the scene and they knew that they would be targeted it they tried to provide aid.

I noted when I checked out the Kirkwood security website that a permit doesn't allow anyone to get around their strict no weapon policy. (Kirkwood is the local community college in Iowa City.)
Oregon law allows concealed carry just about everywhere. Colleges can exclude them from classrooms but not the campus. I doubt the carriers bother to disarm when they walk into a building.
I don't think that Trump supporters really listen to what he says. Really how could they?
I think his new hairstyle is more interesting.

My office doesn't allow cc on premises, I leave mine in my vehicle. I obey the law... see how that works, those that obey are the ones in jeopardy.
Wher
Where did I say untrained? Have always been an advocate for getting and staying trained, keep your own ideas to yourself.
Acctually they do, that's why they don't attack gun shows, cop conventions, NrA rallies...
Because they generally buy there guns at gun shows. And. There have been shootings at military institutions, so there's that.
Unarmed military, nice on the bases that troops can't carry. There's that too...
Are you kidding? Average citizen pulls his constitutionally protected firearm and puts 3 or 4 rounds into the crazed mass killer saving dozens. Makes you want to fap.
And it creates such a great learning environment. Yes, I want to live in a country where every facility that holds large numbers of people is required to have armed guards to protect them from lunatics. Talk about living in a police state...
Wow. There is the liberal mantra right there. All you guys want is for people depended on the govt. Its sick.
And he shot the teacher...so much for an armed teacher being any help. Those on campus who WERE armed, decided to stay put rather than giving responding law enforcement a target. See how that actually worked? In real life?
Yeah...the GOP is going to pay to put fences, metal detectors, and armed private security at every school in the country.
Huh? Currently guns are not allowed on US domestic military bases. Those are soft targets. There is a bill in the works to change that.http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-acti...bill-could-lift-restrictions-on-military-guns
Are you kidding ME? The Conservative solution to gun violence is to make it easier for all to get their hands on guns and tell ordinary citizens that they should act as their own police force? That's basically throwing your hands up and admitting that you don't have a solution.
I have a hard time buying into the argument that military bases are soft targets. I hear over and over that these shooters are looking for the most vulnerable targets possible. Problem is that a military base filled with trained soldiers wouldn't seem to fit that description. Even in the absence of guns, these are still highly trained people in the art of tactical warfare. I think soft targets have less to do with these shootings than some think.
