Gainesville, GA Passed Long range Gun's in schools

[shadowchaser59]

What do y'all think about this. I'm kinda seeing a mess in the future. Read it and see if anyone else feels the same way.


"Gainesville school resource officers will soon have access to long-range rifles at the high school and middle school levels.
The proposed gun, a Colt 6920 M4 carbine, would be kept inside a safe, accessible only by the school resource officer using biometric technology. Further, the rifle would never be on campus if the resource officer was not there; it would be locked in his vehicle."

The only thing that will stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun... Works for me.

this will accomplish nothing

how can folks who complain about teachers, educators, and bureaucrats not teaching their kids well enough expect these same people to properly defend their children?

I think it's fine. Sure, it'd be better if the rife was on site all the time and more people had access to it. This is better than not having it at all though.

Id like to have a little faith in humanity. Id like to think that at least one person would have the decency to use it if need be. And that has nothing to do with how well you can teach gov mandated literature. And its already been proven effective. All you need is a statistical comparison of bank robberies with and without armed guards and the results are clear as day. People that want to hurt the innocent are cowards. Cowards are afraid of those that fight back

Officers probably already and always have had a patrol rifle locked in the car... so now they will have a place to lock it up in the building if they are there. It is a good thing but I suspect many officers will just leave it in the car.

You raise a good point; most educators these days are flaming liberals who are scared to death at the sight of a gun let alone actually use one. Furthermore, when seconds count, what good is a gun locked away in a vault on the other side of the building (Murphy's Law)? Nonetheless, this is a step in the right direction.

bank robbers generally plan on getting away, crazed mass murderers usually kill themselves

again, this is bolstering to give off the allusion of safety
